Exactly I need alone time. With kids you can forget alone time, you will have to give your life to someone else for several years. I don't see nothing good about it. Would you date a single parent?

A parent can still get some alone time if there’s another parent present. And also if the child is able to entertain himself with his toys, his books and his imagination. A child needs two parents anyway.

I could date a single father. As long as he’s a good father, his kids are good kids and I can get along with his kids. But I also have to agree with how he raises his kids on certain things. And I also have to be financially stable, because then those kids are going to rely on me if I date their father.

Right, depends on the kid, some can be quite indepedent and responsability should be shared. Single parenting is so hard But why would they rely on you? You're not the father, it's unfair to ask you for financial responsability. Feels like dating a single parent get al the negatives of parenting without the satisfaction of them being yours. And you will always come second in your partner list of important people. Must to be why it's a dealbreaker for many, especially the ones with no desire for kids.
