Observations of a Mad Cow.. Why are most of the responses on this thread so far gender bias towards the women? The title didn't specify single mothers, it said "someone who has a child".. Even the female respondents are ignoring the single fathers and focusing on single mothers like they are lesbians. grin

I guess the trend of the responses speaks a great deal about our overall mentality as a people towards single parents which is;

Single Father = acceptable..
Single Mothers = taboo..



Just an observation.. But it's none of my business..

There are 2 types of single mothers:those who have kids we can see and those who have kids only god can see.The question is whom do we prefer?Majority of girls would be single moms if there was no abortions. The world is full of hypocrisy. Matt 7:1-4

free2ryhme: If all keeping specifying the kind of single mother they want to marry with specific qualities and xter my question remains if you eventually find the woman with all these why can't she with all the right qualities and xter maintain her current marriage with her child's father? Except her husband is late which is an exception.


The topic is about single mothers who have never been married.

Few things we must note:
1. The Child is Innocent
2. The Mum had a Choice, but chose to bear the stigma
3. Its Weird down here and can be difficult!
4. What's Life without Challenges?

So yes I can!

Love conquers all. It takes maturity and understanding to embark on this position.
Been a single parent could happen on varying levels. Accidental, widowed, physical or domestic abuse in past relationship etc etc etc
Everyone deserves a second or third chance. Anybody could become a single parent, due to circumstances, they had no control over.

Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by OrlandoOwoh(m): 7:36am On Oct 02, 2014
I'm indifferent. A single mother (that got a child outside wedlock) is not different from any other girl. Some other girls like her without children do what got her pregnant - sèx, just that they don't get pregnant probably due to caution and contraceptives. From what I've seen, a large number of those that get pregnant are not as sexùally active as some without children. This inexperience or lack of precaution makes them to easily fall victims of single motherhood.

My dear you took the words right out of my mouth, some pips are screaming hell no, cos dey haven't even reached d age of courting talk more of marriage so dey should save it till dey get there, I bliv who wears d shoe shuld know were it pinches him, to me I bliv its the situation, maybe he or she is divorced with kids b4, in dis case deres nofin wrong if u both reach an agreement I've seen people do it, in nigeria I don't want to mention d tribe dey do it a lot even with 2 -3 kids and dey r happy so why r we making a mountain out f nothing.
If the male or female had d child out f wedlock I still see nofin wrong, cos even without kids broken home is bound to happen if it will. Well am a PROUD single mum, had my son as a teen, am stil young and will get married anytime soon, I've neva had any issues wit any guy cos f my son, mayb because I know how to package myself nd I know my priorities nd wat am supposed to do in a rel, I know wen to show d guy love nd wen to give it to my son,I don't carry any stigma on my head cos I don't luk @ maself as a cast away cos am way more sexier dan those without kids and I don't lie abt my status(men like those who tell d truth) I also don't carry all his responsibility on anyone, nd no one has wanted to run from me cos of my son, so I say it depends on d persons involved, wen u r in it u can have a smooth relationship like me. Thank u
Pls don't quote me cos I will not reply u

AdeniyiA: At least it shows her fertility, how do you explain a lady who had had several unprotected intimacy not having a baby, it's either she's done abortions or she's infertile, either way what's d assurance she'd be able to conceive when married /
...this is just hypothetical reasoning.without being rude,most ladies abort.her being a baby mama is her trademark.single guys can't cope with a lady with kid-it's worse than you know...

DWJOBScom: I was going to scream a loud "NO" after reading a lot of comments here somehow I feel I don't have to right to judge a book by it's cover and won't look down on anyone's comments or decision.
A lot might have made her "baby mama" "single with a kid" etc as stated by Mad Cow but I stick with the caution maintained by safari(watch out for a lot of things like loyalty, love etc)
I will marry with all the caution and "watch out" loud on alarm screen.

So you would marry her but you wouldn't trust her? sad

my friend think about it. Again think deep about it. It is difficult. It is not meant for a young guy. Am talking from experience. U are going to be third on her priority list. U are definately going to marry her with her kid. her kid must like you. You are going to make her happy almost every time because if u don't u ll be resented. if she is smarter than you pls forget it. most of them are pathetic because of their past and dont have a heart. If she is supportive and u know genuinely that she loves u (not just I love u I love you too)then I wish u the best. I know you have butterfly in ur tommy now wait till you guys are in bad terms. then u know if she really loves u or not
yeah. a friend of mine dated a girl from such home. d mother didn't make matters better. married to prof. and her daughter wasn't his. d mum is so proud and d girl saw dese traits and imbibed them too. even d man's family couldn't come into d house. menhhh. oboy dat girls for use my friend head chop coco nut.

Safari29: hmm dating a single mother is so easy and u Wd enjoy it in the short run. But marrying a single mother needs maturity no be beans. U ll face alot of challenges. alot of things u can't take. Most single mothers are not loyal. if shes the outgoing type u break her heart she leaves in a giffy. I once dated one with marriage prospect. all her friends are guys I knew we won't last
what you just wrote applies to 98 percent of single mother's out there !!! Very unfortunate ! Been there and don that, it doesn't worth the headache! Let NO one deceive anybody, above is what you are going to experience in the life of 98 percent of our single mother's out there !!!
Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by abworld6deep(m): 7:52am On Oct 02, 2014
Why not? So far the reasons behind it has been clarified. And proper adjustment were made. I knew it takes a matured and reserved someone to date or marry one of them. Sincerely we still some good ones outside there.

databoy247: I have often been in hot conversations with other peeps, and most of them sound like it's a taboo to get married to a lady who has a child (maybe out of wedlock). It's usually cool when they as guys having one or two kids wants a lady to get married to them but when its the reverse, na war.

Wat's behind this mentality? And are single unmarried ladies who already have a child actually "bad" like the society paint the picture? Am not a traditionalist so i really dont discriminate but my peeps sometimes see me as someone who have "lost it" cos i dont see anything wrong with single ladies (with a kid). Your views pls....

Only if you are desperate for a wife ... or you also are a single father
Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by MizMyColi(f): 7:54am On Oct 02, 2014
databoy247: wow.....lotsa comments. Where are the ladies naw? grin


I presume this is an FP topic? Haven't checked just yet.

Hmmmmmmmmm

I'm not a single MoM, So I wouldn't know how to reply this without a bias of sorts.
Hmmmm.......

There are some parallels to consider here.

I'll put myself in the shoes of a man here.
I'll ask myself these questions.

1. Does the child like me?
2. Do I love this woman (not the feeling kind of love, I'm talking bou the DECISION kinda love.)
3. What's her background like?
4. If she took in as a result of promiscuity, is she a better person now or striving towards becoming better?
5. Am I good for her?
6. Am I willing to treat the child(ren) like they are mine whether or not she concieves for me?
7.Does she love me.
8. Can she................... lipsrsealed

If I were a Man, My reply would be Yes. All things being equal.
I can marry a single Father too, if he's not above 35

Errmm, that's my 2Rand.
Hope that's somewhat coherent......
Listening to my favorite music and deepthinking on matters like this aren't my strongest suit.

Goodmorning smiley

Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by lakefist(m): 8:01am On Oct 02, 2014
All this nairaland teens dat are not ripe for any marriage are just commenting base on their shallow experience.
I fear for many guys saying hell No because u neva know where u will fjnd happiness and peace.Marriage goes beyond marrying a single mother or not.
If not for abortion 90%of ladies would av been a single mother.
I will marry a single lady if am in love with one.

hmmmm, depends. if the mother of his child is still alive, then nooooowayy!!! if she's dead, cool, I can consider him coz of the love we have. I'm a christian, and marrying a divorcee is a sin ;( and there are lots of challenges! especially with the child..... u knw that saying that the second wife always maltreats the first wife's kid... some wife's don't maltreat their husbands kid from his first wife, but becoz the child is pained, he or she makes it seem so. another problem, he might still be in love with his ex. its better u just marry a fresh meatwink .....but love is a mysterious thing. u can fall in love with any type of man.. yeah, love is a bitch!
