Do single moms purposely avoid men who even mention their kids in the same breath as a woman they’re interested in dating?

To clarify, by this I mean things like “Wow you look good enough to be a baby momma”<br>Or “Do you have kids? I love kids. But I’m not sure if I’m ready to be a step parent, maybe I should just get to know you better…”<br>I’m a 26 year old single mom of an 18 month old. I’ve had a few dates recently and people have said things like this and I’ve straight up ended it with them or ghosted them. <br>I know it’s kinda a double standard, I would introduce my son to a guy I’m serious with, but I don’t want to introduce him to just anyone. I would prefer a guy to show he respects me, and I’d like to build trust first. Really I think most people in general would want this, before introducing a potential love interest to their child. I think it’s pretty rude and even weird for someone to mention my child in a romantic sense. <br>I don’t know if I’m just being picky or what. I just feel like if a guy is even mentioning my kid before he even knows me, even in a romantic/sexual manner, that’s a major red flag.<br>So my question is, is this normal?<br>Am I supposed to just take this as a compliment or something?
