[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was dating a single mom last year, and I was thinking seriously about first moving to her school district (we both rented at the time), and then in a few years buying a house with her which would be large enough for everyone.

What happened?[/quote]

I don't know what happened. She broke up with me. [/quote]

You dodged a bullet, man. Learn the proper lesson and never even think about moving in with a single mom.

Unless the idea of paying to support her kids while they disrespect you and constantly shout "you're not my real dad!" is somehow appealing?[/quote]

As a single mom, I would never let you move in with me. I got rid of dead weight when I divorced their father. I don't need a man child to take care of again.

You are a divorced mom. You aren’t a single mom. There is a huge difference.[/quote]

I disagree. [/quote]

The issue is there's a spectrum of divorced moms ranging from amicable 50/50 with ample financial support, to sole custody with minimal or no financial support from an abusive ex. Maybe instead of sticking labels just describe the situation like they are, you know, people. [/quote]

Again, you make a lot of assumptions. I have 50/50 (supposedly but I have them more than that). There is no financial support. Ex is abusive. I live alone with my kids most of the time. Our split was "amicable." I was basically a single parent while married, too.[/quote]

You do a lot of assumptions, too. I have 50:50, my child actually lives 50% with dad; dad pays CS, 100% of all expenses including private school and future college. While he’s not parenting much, my child still wants to sleep there. 
So I don’t see why would I not be able to date extensively if I wanted to. [/quote]
