Single Mom Reflex #1: Take care of each other

by mssinglemama on August 2, 2008

In the dating pool, single moms have a lot of reflexes – jerk radar is one of them.

But what happens when a single mom gets fooled? When her jerk radar fails her? It’s happened to all of us – and it’s THE WORST. You feel used, you feel like you wasted your time, you feel completely sick to your stomach and, the worst side effect of all, your kids can usually pick up on the pain.

So there’s another reflex – to take care of each other, to prevent the above from ever happening to another single mom. And when a man dates two single moms at once and then they call each other… it’s not pretty.

P.S. This guy should be locked up into asshole prison or something, do they have one of those? We’ll put it right next to the dead beat dad prison. And, I am not a man-hater because I said that. I’m a jerky man-hater. I am also not particularly fond of anyone who takes advantage of a single mother – in any capacity.

Agreed. I read that blog, then saw this. Way to go for showcasing it. We single moms have to stick together!

That guy is a total, okay I have to put creep, because I don’t want to write down what I really thought. The nerve of him, seriously… Ugh, I am not a man hater at all either (I am sure you know this) but I can’t stand guys like that. Good for those single mommies though, hopefully he loses both of them, and they each get a new mommy friend out of it all. That would be the best outcome for such a crappy situation.

If I ever see him again, I’ll give him a c*ckpunch, RE.

And thank you for the shoutout MSM.

You know, at first my attitude towards BOTH of them, CrapMan and Ex-Girlfriend, was anger and frustration. I was just ticked off at EVERYTHING.

And then I heard her voice, and she sounded tired, scared, miserable and so sad all in one. And it dawned on me, I had NO reason to be mad at this woman at ALL. And I felt like a jerk. And so we talked. And amazing, her and I are going to have dinner together this week! *laugh*

Men like this disgust me. I especially hate men that treat single moms who have already been through a lot like this.

I’m telling you – we need an asshole prison. Yes, men suck sometimes. No doubt about it. And then they wonder why we’re cautious?
