A mom has recently set the internet alight after she advised single women looking for boyfriends to prioritize their newfound lovers over their own children.

Taking to YouTube with a video titled 'Advice for single mothers struggling finding [sic] a man," a woman by the name of Kim threw out some controversial dating advice that urged single moms to stop putting their kids' needs over their boyfriends'.

"Single mothers, if you wanna know why you're not getting swiped on by the kind of men that you feel you deserve," she began, "stop telling these men, after asking them for all of their time, effort, energy, and money, that they are going to come after your f****** children... by another man."

She continued: "I don't know in what world you thought that that would entice a man to want to date you."

Later on in the video, she goes on to say that she "doesn't know or give a s***" about any "baggage or drama" (AKA the kids) from any previous relationships, but what she does know is that she doesn't expect it if she's going into a new one.

Within days, a heated debate broke out in the comment section, with some agreeing with Kim's advice and others slamming her for being so "cringy" and "inaccurate."

One supporter wrote: "So true. Every time I see a dating profile that says "my kids come first", I'm outta there. Because no matter how hard I try to be a good and loving partner, it will always be whatever the kids want."

"Nothing makes me swipe left, harder, than "1kid, you will NEVER be more important than them." Why would I got into a relationship where I'm already being told to not even try? It's worse with the pets. 'My dog Lucy, is #1 and you will never be more important.' Any one who swipes right on those people, must really have low self esteem," wrote one user, adding that prioritised pets are also another issue.

"She makes a really good point. Any man should expect that of course a woman cares more about her children than a brand new relationship with a stranger. So all you are communicating by writing that out in your profile is that you are bossy," another added.

Others disapproved of Kim's controversial advice, with some even mocking the fact that she's allegedly single herself."I see why you're single. Your kids deserve a better mother."

Another YouTube user also joined in saying: "Hmm, wonder if she's single. Just kidding! Of course she is."

Now, I'm no relationship expert nor am I a mother, but come on.

On one hand, we have a fully grown adult that can take care of themselves, and on the other, we have a literal kid who needs help eating, sleeping and basically just existing. I'm sure no one ever wants to neglect their husband or boyfriend of attention, but when it comes to raising your own offspring, I think that's a good enough excuse to regard it as slightly less of a priority.

But then again, what do I know, eh?

A man has recalled how he asked a woman to reimburse him for a date after she deceived him about her status as a parent.

The man took to Reddit to share the story on the Am I The A**hole? subreddit and explained that they met through mutual friends and began messaging each other.

He wrote: “During the conversation, I asked if she had any kids and she said no. Perfect. Because I don’t date single mums. I’ve had issues with it in the past and it’s just not something I’m comfortable doing anymore. I told her this and she said she understood.”

The two then went on several dates together, which the man described as being a "good time."

“We have a good vibe together and laugh a lot,” he continued. “Morgan asked me on the first date to top golf. And ever since we’ve been making mutual plans to meet.”

However, things took a swift turn when the Redditor searched Morgan up on Facebook, with the intention of adding her as he saw the relationship "going somewhere".

He said: “I was in shock. She had a kid on her profile. I thought maybe it was a nephew. But kept scrolling and found more pics. Definitely her kid. So I texted and asked she if she had a kid. She said ‘why are you asking’. I told her about the Facebook.

“She then admitted to having a kid. She said she didn’t like to bring him up until she knew she could trust a guy. And that she’s at the point now where she trusts me.

“But I said that is BS because she knew my stance on dating single mums. And I felt like my time has been wasted. And that I would be venmo requesting money for the tickets we bought together for an upcoming country concert.

“So we live in a city. And in total the five dates prolly cost me $400 dollars. I wasn’t gonna Venmo request her for all the dates as I make good money and didn’t feel the need to do that.

“But I did Venmo request her for one of the tickets and $50 for the dates. Around $100 total. I guess Morgan told my friend's girlfriend because she texted me saying that I’m being an AH.

“My friend is defending me saying that I shouldn’t have been lied to. And paying $100 is nothing compared to the hundreds I spent on dates. And she still has the ticket.”

The man also stated his reason for not wanting to date women with kids, saying: "single mums just don’t have the flexibility and time". He added: "It’s just not the lifestyle I want."

He finished by asking "am I the a**hole?"

It's a fact that when you date within a relatively small community; any one-night stands you indulge in will inevitably come back to haunt you. However, things get even more awkward when you end up sleeping with a relative of your new romantic interest, and if you've accidentally gotten off with their parent, then you can expect major levels of cringe.

This week, a Reddit post has gone viral, after a 21-year-old guy claimed to have accidentally slept with the mum of his current girlfriend. In a hilarious post made to the subreddit TIFU (Today I F****d Up), a Redditor with the handle U/LoveNonRefundable spilt the beans on one of the most embarrassing sex stories of all time.

He wrote:

"I live in a pretty big town, however, there are only three decent clubs so it's pretty common to bump into the same strangers every now and then. A couple of months ago, I was at this nice rock bar with a live band; drinking with a big group of work friends. I notice a blonde woman has glanced over a few times so I go up to her, make some small-talk and ask for her number as I couldn't really leave my friends. We text a little bit but nothing came of it.

"A week later, I bump into her again and we talk for longer. Decide to grab a couple drinks and I end up going back to her house to spend the night. I noticed she was a lot older (maybe around 40) than anyone else I've slept with before, and I'm 21, so pretty much double my age - but she looked good so I figured I'd learn a thing or two. All I've learnt now is how to regret more efficiently.

"I move on and forget about her. A couple of weeks ago I met a girl, 19, on Tinder. We hit it off and after a few really good dates she invites me back to her place (I live a 20min drive away). As I walk down the street, I notice it's the same one as my previous bonk. My heart sank when I watched this lovely girl turn to face me, say 'This is me!' while gesturing to the same door that I went through for a cheap one night stand. I suddenly see the resemblence [sic]. Quickly I compliment her house and ask her how long she had lived there, grasping at some flimsy straws. 'My whole life pretty much. Just my Parents, lil' Sister and the Dog' she replies.

"Everyone was home. I knew this. I had to tell her.

"She was shocked. Very shocked when she realised that I wasn't joking when I got her Mum's name right."

He continued:

"I knew she was level-headed from our first few dates so thankfully she actually understood and didn't attack me for it. We do agree we can't keep seeing eachother (duh) but I really did like her, which can be rare for me, so it f*****g sucks.

"She didn't mention her parents marriage and I don't want to ask. I also don't know how the house was free a couple of months ago. All I know is I f****d up."

So if you're on the dating scene and want to avoid any potential pitfalls, then check out this article we penned all about the weird new trend called 'Bird-Boxing.'

A mom decided she wanted nothing to do with her son's new girlfriend after she said something extremely NSFW during their first encounter.

Taking to Reddit's notorious "Am I The A**hole?" thread, the mom in question decided to relay the incident to social media users for them to decide whether she took it too far by kicking her son's girlfriend out of her house.

After stating that her son was finally ready to introduce his partner to both her and her husband, she went on to reveal that she came 'round for dinner, but things turned sour pretty quickly.

"My husband and I don’t think he’s ever been this into someone before, so I feel pretty bad about what I did," she explained.

"Last weekend, he brought her over for dinner. By now we’d been anticipating meeting her with how much our son has been gushing about her. How perfect she is, that she’s 'the one', in his words," she continued. "They ring the doorbell. We open the door. She looks exactly like her pictures, which is a great start. My son is grinning ear to ear - another great start."

Things started off so well, but they quickly took a turn when the girlfriend opened her mouth.

"I’m the one your son puts his penis in," were the first words the girlfriend uttered to her boyfriend's horrified parents.

Maybe it was supposed to be a joke, but it was a risky choice because it was their first meet-up, but beyond that, is it a joke you'd want to make in front of anyone, let alone your boyfriend's parents?

And let's just say the woman was not impressed.

"To be frank, I was appalled," she said. "I expected my husband to laugh (both he and my son are jokesters, and as annoying as it can be I love it) but THIS was just too much for me."

She then went on to explain how her expectations may have been a little too high but she just couldn't hide the look of disgust from her face.

Both her husband and her son's faces also dropped, despite them being amused at first.

"I was too disturbed by the visual it put in my head, and it translated into anger," she continued. "I told her to get out, and I wanted to say more about how gross it made me feel but I fortunately left it at that. My son didn’t want to go, insisting I give her another chance, but I was too fed up and uncomfortable by this point. Even my husband, who’s enjoyed his fair share of raunchy jokes, wouldn’t let up."

After the pair had left, the mom felt guilty enough to ring her son and apologize but he didn't respond.

She concluded: "I’m considering giving her another chance, but before I do, was I the [a*****e]?"

Comments poured in under the post, with some agreeing with the mom's behavior while others deemed it an "overreaction."

"I am the biggest jokester around. I love inappropriate jokes. I love making people cringe. But there's a time and place and reading the room," one user wrote. "I would NEVER do that as my first impression with my partner's parents. If into the evening we're all getting along, sure maybe we'll get there and we'll all have a laugh, but not as the first words out of her mouth..."

"NTA," another added. "...She should apologize, but I don't know if she will. Hopefully, years from now, you guys will all laugh about how awkward the start of your relationship was."

"The gf made an inappropriate joke. I don’t know why. Possibly her family makes those kind of jokes so she thought it’d be fine. Maybe your son put her up to it. Maybe they both agreed it’d be funny. It crossed a line for you and that’s fine," wrote a third, before adding: "But kicking her out so quickly was a complete overreaction. Ignoring it and just carrying on like it didn’t happen or even just pointing out the inappropriateness of it would have been fine. But your reaction was too much."

What do you think?
