The Bachelor Single Dad: Who Should He Choose?

[Clare]

Ok, I admit, I am a sucker for these types of shows...or at least I used to be. Once I start watching, it becomes a gluttonous habit. So when this season rolled around, I did NOT start watching the Bachelor. For one thing, too much to do, but for another, I didn't want to get hooked.

Apparently, the Bachelor is a single dad this time around. Ah haaaa, innnteresttting. For those of you who are watching, what is he doing with his kid, does he get to spend time with his kid?

Anyway, the founder of singledad.com, RJ, posted a video about the 2nd episode that I found interesting. He poses the question, who should he choose? A single mom in her 30s or a 20-something with no kids, and why?


What are your thoughts on the subject? Here is the rose ceremony from the 2nd episode.

The twenty something's would have to be something special in my opinion. And, by special I mean clearly show they not only want a child but can accept his son as fully as if he were her own.

We are our own breed.......single parents.......most others don't really understand our worlds. I would hope he had the sense to get a feel for who would be an accepting and loving "step" mother. Does anyone know if he has an available brother? :)

I'm with Peter--single mom. I'm finding that even married parents that haven't had to raise kids on their own don't seem to "get" what we as single parents have to deal with. I didn't have my first until I was 30, and like Angie, I'm not quite sure I really knew what it was all about then. I wouldn't expect a 20's something with no kids to come anywhere close to comprehending what she'd be getting in to. . .

Eh, I dunno... are we really talking about the age difference or are we talking about the kid difference? Seems like an apples to oranges comparison...

[Janet]

Whooo hooo, Peter, good answer! On a side note, I like the single mom, Stephanie, she lives here in Huntsville, AL and she is really sweet. :)

[Angie]

No Peter, I don't think you need to. I had my first at the age of 28, and I'm not even sure I was ready THEN!

Oh, please do. Go on. Go on.
