Cupid’s Advice:
Any single parent knows how brutal the dating world can be. Here are some tips to make it easier if your significant other doesn’t accept your child:
1. Leave:Â Any date that doesn’t accept your child doesn’t accept you. There’s no point continuing a relationship with this person.
2. Be understanding:Â If you’re dating someone who has never been a parent, you have to understand that they don’t know what it’s like. Try to show them how important your child is and maybe they’ll come around.
3. Involve your child: The problem may be that you haven’t had your child around enough. Take the little one out with you more so your significant other can see why your child is so amazing.
