It was exactly these kinds of opinions that one man feared when it came to telling his father about his two-year relationship. His girlfriend had been a single mom to her 4-year-old son for most of his life because her partner had passed away.
Despite loving both his girlfriend and his son, he was afraid to tell his dad about them due to his judgmental attitude toward single parents and the fact that he had told him he would be disappointed in him if he ever dated a single mom. His reluctance to tell the truth was beginning to upset his girlfriend, and he wanted to know if he was in the wrong.

25-year-old feels guilty hiding girlfriend from dad because she's a single mom to her 4-year-old son: 'She says she feels like I'm ashamed of them'
There are countless reasons why somebody may become a single parent, almost all of which are perfectly valid. Sometimes a partner passes, wasn't even in the picture to begin with, or a relationship just doesn't work out well enough to weather the ups and downs of raising a child. Raising kids is far from easy, so in many ways it is admirable to be willing to do it alone.
Of course, this doesn't stop some people from choosing to be judgmental about parents who have had to raise their children without a partner. There are individuals who simply refuse to get their head around kids being brought up in a household that doesn't have both a mom and a dad, even though it is not an uncommon phenomenon nowadays. With these types, the idea of a blended family isn't even worth thinking about. They don't want to entertain anything too different.
