What a man endures or enjoys when dating a single mom...

[Ms. Single Mama]

1. Sitting down on couch and landing on gooey cookie.

2. The baby monitor. I don't think I need to elaborate here.

3. Limited nights out.

4. Getting slimed. Lots and lots of snot landing or rubbed in the area of your choice, usually a pant leg.

5. Tantrums. Sigh.

6. Schmoozing with the babysitter.

7. Daily recaps of a toddler's poop consistency.

8. Never, ever getting to sleep in with his girlfriend.

9. Watching fine programs like the Backyardigans, Thomas the Train or Mickey Mouse Club House.

10. Frequent sicknesses.

11. Getting us! The best of the best - single moms. We are truly magnificent creatures.

This goes both ways. I actually met my ex when she had a two year old boy. We both use to have so much fun together. I see him whenever i go drop my kids off and he still gives me hugs and we talk for a little while. There is nothing like being a parent to your own kids for one. But being there for another that is not yours but still they look up to you like you at least mean something to them.

What an amazing little nugget there...I love hearing stories like that. Sounds like your dad is one of the best of the best!

Getting baby talked too....I call everyone baby lately and the men in my life seem to like it!!!

My dad told me to write that he met my mom when she had 2 toddlers and the best thing about dating her was that he knew that her love had no boundaries by the way she looked at us kids... He said if she could just share part of that with me I would be happy... They are happily still married!
