Oh my goodness! I just started watching this show tonight and I am hooked! It is a great show, but a few things so far have made me a little angry:
First of all, I feel so bad for Mike! He has completely fallen for Valene and now she is all like "I don't know if I can do this whole 'parent' thing. It's Saturday night. I want to be out partying, not making masks for a 6 year old's birthday party." Like, excuse me? You knew Mike had a young son. You didn't really come into this whole thing blind. You're on a show called Single DAD Seeking....meaning the man you'll possibly be dating has a freaking child or children! Oh, and Valene keeps complaining about not having any alone time with Mike. What do you expect, he is a dad. His kid is going to be around whether you like it or not. I am just glad that Mike has a good head on his shoulders and in the very beginning was like "If I see that my son is starting to get uncomfortable, I have no problem dropping this whole thing". Kudos to you, Mike! I dunno, Valene just strikes me as someone who wants to be out partying with her man and is super needy. Like, it is okay to be super needy, but just know that you're not going to get Mike's undivided attention. Like, you have to understand and be okay with the fact that you're not the only person in his life.
Second of all, what's up with Jake? Who drives a woman to their house, barely introduces her to his 3 kids, and then leaves her there to tend to 2 of them while he takes the other one to the doctor? That just seems so insane to me. I was super ticked off when he left her alone at his place, too. But after he explained himself, I can understand where he was coming from with saying he was overwhelmed by all the new feelings and so he kind of pushed back because dating is so new to him. I definitely would not have screwed up like that and then proceeded to take this woman, who now has lost my trust, to meet my tell-it-like-it-is sister! How anxiety inducing! I feel so bad for Ami! Her first 2 days at Jake's house have been nothing but kind of crappy. I sort of feel like if I was Ami, I would have just peaced the heck out of Jake's place after he didn't come home, but at the same time, I'm glad she stayed because I feel like his reasoning for his actions is completely valid. It was crappy, but hey.
