For a moment, lets forget the absentee Dad and the single Mother. Let us focus on the man who simply accepts this woman and even finds it in his heart to love, care for, encourage, teach, play with, mentor and create memories with the one thing a woman loves more than anything else, her kid(s).
There are plenty of women out there raising "other women's children" and I have so much respect for them, God Bless you for accepting him and his bundle(s) of joy. I will focus on a man dating a woman with a kid(s) because men with kids aren't the challenge for women than women with kids are for men.
Society is tough on a man who chooses to get involved with a woman with a child, from his peers, his family & relatives, his community to even strangers. They will take every opportunity to tear him apart & remind him that the kid(s) belong to another man.
Being involved with the kid(s) is almost similar to adoption, some people don't understand why a couple capable of having their own children would want to raise other people's kid(s) but the truth is some people have that fatherly or motherly instinct and some people do not. There are people out there neglecting and abusing their biological kid(s) and adoptive parents that are incredible moms & dads to children that are not biologically their own. It is okay if its not for you just don't make it difficult and awkward for the person that can do it.
Relationships are difficult as it is. Adding kids and especially "someone else's" raises the difficulty exponentially but if a man is truly in love with a woman and knows she's the person he wants to build a future with and grow old next to, he will accept the kid(s) even to just be with her because he's not short sighted and understands the relationship continues long after children eventually grow up and move out (hopefully).
The man that chooses to raise another's kid(s) is aware that there are plenty of women out there without children but this man chooses to love a single mother & has no problem taking on the responsibility of her child. These men exist but are always hiding out because they know the wrath that awaits them. MY POINT is, they ought to be encouraged and celebrated because it takes a special, stronger, courageous and noble man to step up! Otherwise they will become as rare as good fathers have become nowadays.
Gentleman i hope you get the courage to give that single mother & her bundle(s) of joy a chance.
