Tips for Dating a Single Parent

First off, imagine managing a full time job, child (or children), and a household all by yourself, and trying to have some resemblance of a social life, too. Most single parents feel like the day does not have enough hours, so their everyday life is tightly organized as they carry the burden of professional and educational responsibility completely alone: You might be working all day as a florist in London, then commuting home to help your children do their homework, preparing dinner, getting the kids to bed, falling asleep, and doing it all again the next day.

  2. 0333 370 3701 info@singleparentsonholiday.co.uk Are you considering dating a single parent? If you are not a parent looking for love yourself, you might have difficulty putting yourself into the shoes of a single parent dating. So, we are here to teach you a thing or two about dating a single mum or dad. First off, imagine managing a full time job, child (or children), and a household all by yourself, and trying to have some resemblance of a social life, too. Most single parents feel like the day does not have enough hours, so their everyday life is tightly organized as they carry the burden of professional and educational responsibility completely alone: You might be working all day as a florist in London, then commuting home to help your children do their homework, preparing dinner, getting the kids to bed, falling asleep, and doing it all again the next day. There is often simply no room left for finding a partner. So how can you make things work when you meet or have already fallen in love with a single mum or dad? Find out everything you need to know about dating a single parent – from the misconceptions about single parents to the dating tips:

  3. 0333 370 3701 info@singleparentsonholiday.co.uk Myths To Avoid When Dating A Single Parent Single parenthood brings many challenges – worst of all prejudice from other members of society. Despite managing so much in everyday life, single parents have to fight preconception and stereotyping about their personal situation when they are looking for a partner: Myth: Single Mums Are Scroungers The common accusation that single parents, in particular single mums, are looking for someone to provide for them and their children is an archaic and frustrating myth. Single parents are not looking for someone to take care of them or their kids financially and otherwise. Single parent statistics show that most single parents are in fixed employment and have managed on their own for a good while, before deciding to date again. A single parent dating is more likely looking for a partner to spend time with – someone to chat to about everyday life, to relax with over a glass of wine or watching a movie, someone who gets them and who understands that they are not always available and that they may often have to put their children first.

  4. 0333 370 3701 info@singleparentsonholiday.co.uk Myth: Single Parents Are Relationship-incompetent Many single parents have had a bad, if not traumatic, relationship experience. Yet, society views all single parents as makers of their own fortune, at least partly to blame for lacking a partner. Whatever weakness you might display, be it becoming angry, anxious, or impatient, society is quick to blame those attributes to your marital status. “No wonder he (or she) left her (or him)” is a common theme. Few spare a thought to those single parents that are victims of abuse, cheating, addiction, or bereavement. Rather, the view is that they must have been the cheaters, addicts, abusers, etc. When you meet a single parent, you will soon find that their life experience means they are, in fact, more relationship competent than most. They had to master many challenges and upheavals in their life which taught them a thing or two about human nature and relationships. This is not to say, that single parents won’t make mistakes, too. They are as human as the next person.
