Haha love the response

A person must understand that children are part of the package but also must understand they are in no way, shape or form the said children's parents. If the boy/girl friend hooks up with someone with children they are the child/rens friend nothing else.
They also must understand that no matter what in some cases the other parent will be forever in your potential partners life
If the parents have separated and are on best buddy terms that's excellent so therefore there is no need for jealousy.
Single parents both single mums and single dads will always put their children first. If anyone runs a parent down (without due cause)they are not worth anyone's time.
If a potential partner can not accept your ex being in your life move along.
If anyone thinks dating single parents is a hassle does not understand life.
