Lexi, Mommy said. What are your thoughts about the dating app Stir for single parents? I think it's mediocre. Yeah. I think that people that do this feel like other people won't understand.
Their lives. People understand you got kids. That's all right. Yeah. There are a lot of guys on there that have kids, though, because for some reason there's a lot of women, and I would say specifically black women, that do not want to date guys with kids, whether it's baby mama drama, whether it is just this, like, inner childhood wound where you weren't nurtured and didn't get enough attention. So you feel like this guy will always make you put you in silver place, silver medal or bronze medal, and put his kids first. If he is managing what he needs to manage, he will prioritize you. If he's serious about you.
