I believe if you are trying to find someone for a relationship they should have all the facts up front. But if you are just looking for something casual that will never involve your kids then I think its not as important.

sweetie, i am brand new here, but my answer is as good as any lol, you should really let them know that you are a single mother, that way there are no surprises later, and if you end up liking the guy alot and find out he dont like kids, then what?

if you are looking for a guy to spend your life with then you are looking for a guy that will spend his life with you AND your kid/kids, if the guy is scared away because you have kids then it is obvious that he is not the right one anyway :)

Why can`t you people just accept that fact you`re too weak for a serious relationship? This tread is just stupid, same with your stupid comments. Every time you give up on a relationship, you are back at square one, you`ve waste more time - why do you still live your life this way? It`s stupid, you are only wasting each others time.


where first? ok "give up on a relationship" im like this, if during a relationship you come to find out that the guy/girl is a total ***, mean to your children, is abusive, or anything like these types of things then WHY STAY? just so u don't have to "start over" naw,it don't work that way. at that point it IS TIME TO MOVE ON AND END THE RELATIONSHIP. and more than likely at that point its not even a real relationship anymore. a relationship is supposed to be about partnership and compromise, love and trust, and all the little things inbetween!!!!

I myself don't mind wether a woman has children or not, that's what a family is...If a man doesn't like children he shouldn't be on a dating site!

As a single mom it was never a question as to whether or not I would include it in my profile. To omit it when the profile has a specific spot for that would be presenting a false front to any man that liked the rest of your profile. Besides if a single mom is a "turn off" to them then let's say it like it is, you're a turn off to them. And who wants the hassle of turning anyone on by pretending to be someone or not someone I should say. Sounds like work ... And lots of it!

Be you and it will happen :smile:

If he is the right man for you it shouldn't matter and yes you should put that you are a single mom unless you want to look misleading.

Why any parent would not tell doesn't make sense to me because personal time would be at a premium why waste it on dating someone that would go no where.

When I was ready to remarry as a single parent the fact that I had two smart well mannered little boys seem to be a perk. My late husband was glad to marry a readymade family because he was not all that excited about living with a baby.

I think if you want to date living in a " target rich" environment is more important than whatever "hurdles" might be present.

The way this this society is, it seems like the "hit and run" men are very prevalent. You have to be you and if it means saying you are a single mom, so be it. if the man is the right man and has empathy, he would not see it as an issue. If he does, he is not the one. Your kids have been in your life long before anyone you date. Tell them the kids are a priority first.

You have had a lot of good positive replies to your question and in my humble opinion, yes mention it. Simple.
You want someone that wants all of you so do not hide anything.
One thing I would say is dont introduce anyone you meet to your child until you are happy to move the relationship to the next level. It's confusing to the child. :smile:
No offence was intended in my message in case anyone took offence.
