MadCow1: [b]Yes I can...

But wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It requires a whole nother level of maturity of mind and mental strength.. You have to deal with certain emotional dramas that can really fhuck up the feeble minded and put untold strain on the relationship.. You have to try to raise another man's kid like they were yours. You have to deal with her/his past that keeps looking at you in the face daily. Let's not talk about the step parent drama that most step kids bring with them. Also when you now have your own kids, the battle line of fairness and equality is drawn and everytime you accidentally fhuck up by treating yours differently to theirs, the fall out is big. Infact you are almost always required to treat your step kids better than you would treat yours as they are technically the victims in your relationship. If the spouse with the kid isn't also mentally mature, they tend to create even more problems than the kids. In some cases, they start hoarding their assets and stashing them for their own kid for inheritance purposes. Every disciplinary action to take towards the other person's kid is seen as exaggerated and excessive. You most times end up emotionally messed up cos having to deal with that drama does tend to take its toll on you eventually.

In my opinion, I would highly discourage it.

Simply put, marrying a single parent is not for the emotionally weak.. But I believe I can handle that.

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.
A good talk
Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by Mclick(m): 8:43am On Oct 02, 2014
Very hard question o, it all depends, some family will frown at it, other with a big no, cos the single mother will always have a divided attention btw her first child and her hubby and or she'll likely fall back to the father of her first child when things turn around

Utter rubbish.. No offence.

Your concerns are the least of the issues associated with marrying a single parent.
don't forget what u just threw into the dust bin is adultery. d womans husband is still alive.

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 /
It's a question, nobody is asking for your thesis! Can you? Simple

Pdizzle: Fertility is the only advantage, too many cons, i can't.
D fact dat shae has one doesn't mean she'l be able to give more. U neva see person with one pikin(and not dat she wanted one).
It's for bothe sides jare, either u don born or u never
Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by Nobody: 8:52am On Oct 02, 2014
Wow! Many comments, mostly negative. I'm a single mother. I did the same thing many ladies have done and will always do: s3x. But I did what only a brave woman with a conscience would do, I kept my son. I laughed when I read some HELL NO's. Better a tokunbo. Car than a car that was wrecked in an accident and then panel-beat, repainted, and repackaged as new. I haven't had issues with men looking down on me because I'm independent and I don't even allow a man I'm dating meet my son. I don't want my son seeing different men in my life. It's only that lucky man that would have the priviledge of meeting him though adopting him is out of the question cos my family won't let him out of their sight. Fertility is not guaranteed because a woman has given birth but there's a higher chance of fertility and if there are no kids after marriage, then na the man get problem be that. As someone rightly said, it takes a mature mind and a good heart to be with a single mother because honestly we hardly trust because we've been hurt deeply before. I haven't met any promiscuous single mother. Strangely, most single mothers can close legs tight because of fear of being used and dumped. My advice to single mothers, don't be desperate, rely on God's time. It will happen for you too. And also be financially independent so no man calls you a gold-digger. And no matter what love your child/children because a man can break your heart and abandon you but your kid(s) are yours forever.

Merlissa:

Nobody is perfect... Some people might have given birth and left the child for the family to take care off claiming it's their YOUNGER BROTHER...


Some would about like a billion times and when MAYBE in the process their womb get destroyed!

I don't mind marrying a guy with kid.. Nobody knows tomorrow!!

dats what I call carelessness with sex. I'm a guy and don't tolerate careless sex and abortion. as a girl., are u suppose to protect urself by not spreading ur legs. u see y u shouldn't date in teen age rather face ur studies., no request for recharge cards and be contented with what mum and dad gives u. if u put things right., u will not fall into nonsense hands. dere is a saying dat u are what u eat.

Fortunately ,some single mothers are very nice nd caring dan d single ladies
Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by Bigsteveg(m): 8:59am On Oct 02, 2014
Mondisweets: it does even if you tell yourself its not. Its the same as saying a woman who thinks a guys who isn't rich is a turn off, is mature enough to know the qualities that make up a good husband.
That's not MATURITY, anybodu dat want to marry a single mother is his own choice, dat doesn't mean dose that don't are not matured.
Marrying a single mum comes with a lot of challenges,
(1)u nid to consider the relationship btw her and d baby daddy.
(2)u nid to consider the child, some child will let u know u can neva be their dad.
(3)most single mum comes with some emotional challenges, u become suspect in ur every move most especially if she had wit rough wit her baby dady.

So it takes a lot of patience when dealing with dem, but dat doesn't mean dey are more matured dan dose who marry single women.

And for those saying they've know d state of the woman as per fertility, having a child isn't a guarantee that the rest will come.

AND AS FOR ME.......NO, I CANT MARRY A SINGLE MAMA.

I think it requires an extraordinary love for the mother and her child and most of all the grace of God for such marriage to last.
Personally, I must get to the Root cause why she separated from the father of the child. Based on my findings, I will make up my mind whether to or not.

If you break her heart why should she stay with you, so you could do it again? I wouldn't call protecting her heart not being loyal. Would you stay if a girl broke your heart? sad
so you want to admit your relationship Is perfect? havnt you had misunderstanding before and resolved it? why didn't you leave him?

What if the father is deceased, married someone else, or just doesn't want to get married. Maybe she doesn't want to marry the father, there are different reasons why the parents never married.
after training the child to the peak,won't the same man come and claim paternity and daddy? u should know the real father of a baby is always the father.
