Good lord!
By the sounds of some of the replies on this thread you'd think all us single parents are evil monsters trying to trap innocent souls into the depths of step parenting hell.
Like we belong to some weird cult or something where we punish you for the fact the we have kids
When the truth is, everyone who's had a bad experience here just chose extremely shytti partners / human beings to begin with.
Please folks, don't paint such general pictures with tainted brushes.
A little sensitivity and consideration wont hurt. This is after all PC and not "Hate on single dating parents forums"... You don't know who may come across your post and be in a vulnerable state at that time.
