[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it will be hard for a 40s, divorced mom, with kids to find a guy who will want marriage unless he too is divorced and older. Eligible bachelors in their 30s and early 40s wouldn't need that additional baggage.[/quote]

So I guess I should give up on dating then?[/quote]

OP, how old is your child?

Yes, most likely you should give up on dating until s/he is 18 and out of the house. Your kid, whose intact home was ripped apart by your divorce, needs you.[/quote]

No, her kid needs to live in a reality where mom's house life doesn't revolve solely around them.[/quote]

Wow.

Sad comment. I hope you're not a parent.[/quote]

Yes I'm a single parent, in fact. So I know of what I speak. When I became a parent, I remained a daughter/friend/colleague//woman of my own. I'm not raising my own little girl to believe that her own life stops once she becomes a mother. Nobody expects this of men. In fact, people are usually anxious to find a wife for a single father.

Did you stop "dating" your husband once you had kids? Give up sex? Drop your friendships? Put gym time on the back burner? Perhaps you deserve my pity instead.[/quote]
