Re: dating girl w/ kid issues
You're better off TELLING her your views on the parenting thing now. See how she reacts. If she reacts poorly to you telling her you think she's too lax, how do you think she'll react when you try to become the more strict "step parent"?
If she handles it well on the other hand, and/or tries to change her parenting for the better of the child, maybe you can take this already somewhat promising relationship to the next level.
Upfront/Honest/100% clear is the ONLY way you can really have a relationship with a single mother.
