It hasn't been a issue for me. I have been divorced about 8 years. I took the first 3 years just to focus on me and financial/mental. Once I was ready I just take my time meeting people, dating around the custody schedule + working full time really weeds out the clingy/non serious so that's actual a blessing. I like independence people and don't need someone that wants 24/hr attention or validation

I have only dated 1 other single parent and it worked out really well the kids were close in age but we split on unrelated issues.

I love bring a mom and I have no issues stepping in as a blended family once that opportunity comes around. I now date with focus on potional marriage /partner than just casual so I'm alot more selective and that seems to be looked down on outside of religious circles- I'm not religious- but I'm also comfortable single if that makes any sense.

People automatically assume because I enjoy parenting/homemaker and looking for a true partner I must want to be 'taken care' in regards to money or stay at home which is not the case lol and very hard to explain
