Do you think single parents should date?

I'm just curious because my marriage and family course had a discussion about this issue. A lot of people believed single parents shouldn't. However, in my personal opinion I believe they should as long as they can balance out their time.

I am a single mom and I have dated on occasion. I don't see any problem with it. How else are we ever going to be able to move on? My ex was an abusive drug dealer so I took my kids and left. That doesn't mean I should be single forever. I tihnk they should just keep it away from the kids until they know this other person will be around for a while.

I personaly think that they should, sure they will say that their kids are all they need to get by in life but as much as Women like to say that they dont need a man, you do need that kind of passionate love. Of course the parents should balance their time out to spend time with their kids and on the dating scene, i agree with you though single parents should date.

Of course they should. As long as the parent is dating someone that treats them and their kids with respect, and the parent still spends time with their kids. There is no reason for someone to give up their life because they have kids. What happens when the kids grow into teens and don't want to have anything to do with their parents? They just sit at home alone?

I see no problem with dating as long as it is done right meaning the kids don't meet every guy/gal, the bf/gf isn't moved in, and so forth. However as a single mom if you can find time to meet a guy and go on a date let me know how that works!
