Dating single mothers
What should a man do when his lover, who happens to be a single mother, devotes way too much time discussing the well being of her only son?

She probably has no adult in which she trusts to let her let go of the emotions of parenting her child. Girlfriends and family can go so far, but to have someone who loves you allow you to explore and feel things means a lot to a woman. Women solve problems through talking about their feelings and emotions and as a solo-mum she probably has a lot of stress.
She has 1 kid, a lot of baggage and probably has been quite hurt. She wants support. If her son is the only thing she talks about then she might need some help separating herself from him and opening up her world. Maybe you're the person to help her do this.
Join a new hobby together and talk about that.
I think you need to assess what sort of answer you want here. If you two became married and had more children do you think this would get better? Of course not.
If you're just with her for a shag and are bored by the endless droning then find someone else.

We don't hear as often about parents who provide too much love. Typically, they are referred to as possessive or controlling and have a hard time letting go of their children.
Regardless, it is not the role of the boyfriend in this situation to criticize the mother. Moreover, he needs to adjust and adapt to her wishes and habits if he hopes to gain her confidence. He should ask questions about her child and include him in as many activites as possible.
If he is not willing to devote time to the child or at least listen to his lover-the mother talk about her pride and glory, then he should consider breaking up with her.
