A single mother’s post thanking God for finding a loving stepfather for her daughter should have been a moment of shared joy. Instead, it attracted a fresh wave of hostility that revealed how normalized cruelty toward blended families has become online. Rather than respecting a man’s decision to commit and support a child who is not biologically his, some users chose open contempt.
One comment in particular captured this toxic mindset: “I dey use 2hrs a day swear for men dey deh settle down with single mothers.”
This statement, which translates to spending hours daily cursing men who marry single mothers, is not just offensive—it is disturbing. It promotes resentment, shames responsible men, and stigmatizes women for seeking love and stability. If we truly care about family values and child welfare, such rhetoric should not be tolerated or normalized.
