I can give you a couple

Can anyone give me a reason they would ever date a single mom because I can't think of ONE.
I'll bite. My GF is a single mom, and I'll tell you why that works for me. First, know that I am 45 and she is 40. If you are 28 the world looks quite different I am sure.
First, I have kids too. Mine are much older than hers, but I am still very active in their lives, and the life of my granddaughter. My 2nd wife didn't have kids and she never understood my priorities. In fact, she was even jealous of my kids at times. She could't possibly understand what "kids come first" means, because she never had any. Relating to another parent is much easier.
Next, my GF having kids gives her her own sh!t to do, and that works great for me because I don't want someone up my @ss all the time. I see her 1-3 times a week and that's perfect for me. And if I am in town, one of those times is a booty call right after she gets out of work but before she picks up her kids at daycare. About an hour of banging and she is out. Perfect.
Also, it helps me judge what kind of person/woman she is. She never, ever complains about her kids, or her situation. She has an MBA and a good job and is quite self sufficient. The way she manages her life tells me A LOT about her character. If she was a lousy parent, dumping the kids off with whomever she could to go out to bar, that would tell me a lot too. So it helps me screen.
Another plus - she ALWAYS comes to my house, (because her kids are home) which I like. We have dated 7mos, exclusive 4mos, and I have never stayed at her house or even eaten a meal there. So we are always on my turf, my stuff, my friends. I like it that way.
I should also add that I am her first BF (or even second date) in the 3.5yrs since her divorce. I am the only man her kids have ever met. Because she has screened so carefully, it makes her very grateful for me and the time we do spend together, because to her I am a very rare commodity.
Did I mention that she is tall, blonde, smoking hot and fvcks like a porn star?
All that being said, I am well aware of the pitfalls of dating a single mom. And even though she seems happy with the way we are now, at some point she may want me to take a more active role in the "family" life. But until then, it works for me. And h#ll, who knows, maybe by then I'll feel differently too.
