Because of his own childhood experiences, a Joy FM caller called Kelvin says he does not condone dating or marrying a single parent.
Dating or marrying someone who already has a kid, according to the Osu resident, does more harm than good because the child may never be cherished as if they were biological.
“I just got to know that when you marry somebody with a child, no matter what, you don’t have that kind of love that you have for the child, like the way you have for your biological children,” he said.
On Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday, he discussed the contentious question of whether single parents are less beautiful and whether it is wise to marry them.
Kelvin stated that he lost his original father when he was 10 years old and that after a few years, his mother began seeing this young man who was meant to be his “stepfather.”
He recalls being expelled from school as a youngster due to unpaid tuition. Following the event, his mother told him that he would receive the money when his stepfather returned from work that evening.
Kelvin stated that the subsequent dialogue between his guardians was really harsh, but they both terminated the disagreement because he was present and they felt uncomfortable.
The aspect that he claims saddened him was when his mother awoke the next morning only to be confronted with nasty comments from the man.
These comments, according to the Osu resident, continue to ring in his brain to this day. This, he claims, has affected his determination to never date a single mother.
“To my hearing, the man was asking my mother, is he my child for you to bother me with school fees like that?”
“That statement has really hurt me till date that I never want to even experience it or hear anybody telling me something like that, to date somebody who has a child,” Kelvin revealed.
He went on to say that following that episode, he tried everything he could to undermine his mother’s connection with the man, and he was pleasantly successful.
