• Many single parents say most men think they want them to support their kids or even some claim that there are no enough people out there who would love someone else's kids as their own.

• The most important thing for any single parent trying to date is that they do everything for their kids' benefits.

Over the weekend, legendary music producer, Tedd Josiah dissected how it looks like for any single parent who is looking to date.

As a single parent to his lovely daughter, Jameela Wendo, the entrepreneur has always made it his duty to educate the public and make them aware of the struggles of being a single parent in everyday life.

He has always been clear that for any single parent dating they try as much to make sure they do everything for the kids' benefits.

He wrote ,“Single parent dating is TRICKY!!!!!!!! You could find a life partner or you could be left so broken that you’re child is the one left to pick up the pieces and they are already dealing with their own emotions….What are you’re thoughts?”

The posted drew a lot of traction mostly from single parent who shared his sentiments and today we wanted to know from our readers what it is like to to date as single parents.

Ethel: Single moms go through so much pain,they deserve a man who will comfort and stand by them. if you can’t wipe those tears ,do well to at least let them be

Becky: It's not easy . People out here think that when you date them the child's responsibility lands on them automatically. Truth be told... As a single parent one is also human as you look after your child... You need someone to add some.life to you. They are also as human as the one without a child. The child is a plus. Single parents need mature partners who will understand that. It's a pity that people look down upon these people and talk I'll about them .. some of these people are responsible for the children.
