What you need to know to date a single mum.

Things you need to know if you’re thinking of dating a chick with kids


"Brooke is a newly single mum with two kids (14 and 4) who is just started to dip her toes back into the dating world. When she is not cleaning up after the kids, she is tending to her eyebrows, drinking too much wine and says the word "shit" far to often. She lives on the NSW Far North Coast and one day she hopes to either marry a Hemsworth or sing with the Mcclymont sisters, which ever comes first.


Things you need to know if you’re thinking of dating a chick with kids


1. Even if she fancies you, her priority is her babies. Don’t be offended, but rather, admire this ‘Mama Bear caring for her Cubs’ quality. Don’t think she’s not dying to spend the night making out with you on the couch (etc.), but there’s a shit tonne of work to be done before this even enters her mind. Washing, lunches, dinner, cleaning, playtime, bath time blah blah blah. On the plus side; she’ll probably want to make your lunch, iron your shirts and cook you her kick-arse lasagna.


2. When she’s down to have fun, she’ll own that shit. Nothing makes a woman feel sexier (read: Hornier) than a little time out from her children. And, with a limited time frame, she’ll want to take full advantage. Hope you’re down for a good time. Or up, as it were.


3. Let her nap. If you’re spending the afternoon together, nothing will win you BIGGER points than running her a warm bath, and then suggest she take a nice, quiet nap. She’ll be forever grateful. And the payback will be ten fold. Trust. Me.



4. She can build LEGO on her own. She follows the instructions and doesn’t need your help. But thanks anyway, baby.


5. She probably needs a little help filling the mower with fuel. And using a hedge trimmer. Just saying. From personal experience. Plus, who doesn’t like watching a bloke operate a garden machine?!?


6. The little things count. Pour her her favourite drink. Throw a load of washing on. Tell her she doesn’t have to cook, then order take-out. Women who do it all, appreciate even the smallest of gestures. Their feet are tired. Their eyebrows are neglected. The barely get to use the toilet without someone harassing them. The thought of not having to whip up an amazing dinner will have her seeing heart eyes when she glances your way.



7. Similar to #2, you’ll never have to worry about knowing what she wants. A woman with kids will know what she wants to eat, what she wants to do in her (little) spare time, and how she feels about Scottie Pippen’s treatment during his time at the Bulls. She’s time conscious, so have your shit together.


Now, I realise this makes A Woman With Kids sounds like quite the ball-breaker, but this is only on the surface... Because she hasn’t really got time to indulge in a softer side. Her walls are up constantly as a means of self-protection, and Cub protection. So, go easy and slow. I hear it’s worthwhile dating one.ver comes first.
