As I was researching ideas for my newest article on Type-A Mom I came across a fellow’s site that I must say quite offended me. If you guessed by my title its about dating single moms. I, just like so many other women out there, am part of a proud group of women known as single moms. It doesn’t matter how we became part of this group, the fact is that we are. Does this mean we don’t deserve to find someone to share our lives with any longer?

According to Dr. Dennis W. Neder any man that comes across a single mom should turn and run. He has written an article on Dating the Single Mother and I must protest his findings! I guess there are some single moms out there that are the money hungry irresponsible women that he describes here, but we do not ALL fall under that category. In fact, most of us DO NOT fall into that category! He made a few good points such as a any new beau would have to accept the fact that her children have a father that will be a part of the picture. He actually makes the statement referring to his argument of why not to date a single mom “find a woman without kids – they ARE out there!” What makes him so against single moms? Don’t we need and deserve love too? He then goes on to say “Ok, you won’t listen to reason, what should you do?” Are we really that bad?

My opinion? He sounds like a pig squealing put downs from his sty. But hey… That’s my opinion.
