UPDATED August 1st, 2016
When I began dating a man with a cute, round-headed toddler, my concern was not that he already had a child. I didn’t mind that many of our dates consisted of taking his son to the park or shopping for new shoes. Part of the attraction was the fact that he was such a loving, involved father. “It’s not the child you should be worried about,” my mother told me soon after we began dating. “It’s the child’s mother.”
