Posted: 9/8/2005 5:09:15 PM | It's great to see so many guys in the same situation that I am in. I am a single dad of a 13 yr. daughter and she has been with me since she was 4. I feel blessed and grateful everyday that she is a major part of my life and wouldn't change it for anything. Hopefully someday a woman will see what I have and what I am and feel that it is worth getting invovled with me.
Kudos to all of us | |

Posted: 9/9/2005 4:59:02 PM | No I would never leave this creation of mine, funny thig how it was simply a thought after a woman called my children in a e-mail or should I say reffered to them as "baggage" I check this thread constantly... I get alot of good emotions from it and to my fellow DADS out there if any of you pass through Vancouver (Langley) anytime you let me know cause the beers are on me. I like the fact that there are so many single fathers putting to rest the "Dead beat Dad" label men have gotten in the past. I love my kids more then life and I was not half the man I am today before I had them ( P.S. countrylin how is Gabbys these days? )
Best of luck to you all and you all have my respect and my admiration to an extent you could not imagine.
I am just hitting the age where my oldest daughter is getting close to early woman hood it would appear so any Dads with advice on that one let me have all ya got the more input the marrier on that front..... | |

Posted: 9/10/2005 1:04:28 PM | | I find what women say they want and what they really want are two different things. Someone who will make them laugh (if he's tall dark and handsome) but I totally agree with you I became a real man when I became a single dad. 2 girls | |

Posted: 9/10/2005 10:04:10 PM | men are like that too 'singledad'.... it always goes both ways unfortunately..... but as I see in this thread especially is that there are alot of 'real men & women'..... so there are some good ones left :) like they say.. you gotta sift thru the bad.. in order to get the 'good' :)...

Posted: 9/27/2005 4:42:05 PM | | Sorry I missed the shindig at mustangs the last weekend, Hockey ran realllly late or was it the beers and the rest of it after I lost track , ha ha ha . I was wondering at what time frame is it right to introduce a "other" to the children , my ex does this constantly and it bothers me a great deal. | |

To all the single fathers out there-WTG- your children are the most precious and wonderful thing to happen to you.
Hats off to all the single parents-its so hard, frustrating, tiring and exasperating at times but then there's those little moments that come back at you-whether it was a smile from your child, or something they said that makes it so precious and worthwhile.
Good luck to all | |

Posted: 9/27/2005 7:01:13 PM | Dude, this is but the best I've read yet. Great wording!! Myself, I am older but I raise 2 teens by myself. No support coming in either. I work 10 hours a day and then come home to do what used to be a chore for my ex and myself together. PLUS, I have a lawn care business to the side to help ends meet.
Then there is my kids...sports, school activities, parent/teacher meetings (ands occasionally meetings with the prinicipal..lol). And being they are teens, the phone is no longer JUST for me, kids staying overnight,etc...Oh, and a very watchful eye too. :) But, as much as I have to do, I wouldn't give it up for anything or anyone. I am in the position of not having time to date, wish I was though..lol. I need someone for me too ya know! :) I've met ladies on here that it is okay if they have kids but when I mention I have , they fly.
Why is it that men are "different" when it comes to kids? | |

Posted: 9/28/2005 8:21:59 AM | Seems any attractive woman around my area want, is guys who like to Party, look like a chip n dale dancer, are filthy rich, hung like a porn star, and will do any and everything the woman wants........ and they have to act and dress like a teenager too
So.... I have 2 children, hardly even enough money to survive, my work-outs these day entail the one "crunch" in the a.m. (getting out of bed) Im "average" and have zero tolerance for bar-flys and drama queens..... and my babies come first........ Oh, partying is the last thing on my priority list too......... even if I had the time.. Id be way too tired.
So... I guess Im gonna be single for a looooooooong time..... extremely lonely
with our visitation plans... I only get every other Sat night to myself havent met a woman yet, who can accept that | |

Posted: 9/28/2005 4:43:26 PM | dravencarter: i don't come here ofter because of the fact that most women are looking for the party life. i just thought to read the forums and stumbled on to this thread. it's a great to know that there are women out there looking for us single fathers.
i am a part-time father and kudos to you for being full time.
i seem to be the safety net for my daughter and ex when life gets to be to much for her or when she decides it's time to go out and binge on drugs.
she's the source of my inspiration and strength. i know that when she's old enough to make her own decisions, i'm gonna be the one to live with and wait for that day with much anticipation. i don't have her as much as i want just a few months out of the year. or when her mother decides to go off the deep end. drug dealers...ppffttt,never know what there doing from one moment to the next.
anyways..........moving on! when i do get a chance to talk to her i tell her everytime to see if she can see the moon?......well i can see the moon too and that way we can at least do something together sometimes even though she's in bc.( got that from our favorite movie 'american tail' and another good movie 'the outsiders'-sunset moon same meaning)
i'm going to check in from time to time for this a an awsome read and another source of information and hope!!!
thank you for starting this, it came at the right time.
my the creator smile upon you.

Posted: 10/4/2005 10:07:18 AM | | Hey Fellow crazzzians. how is everyone OMG just had my daughters 10th birthday party at an adventure place called Crash Crawlies I think I should go back to the top of my thread and add CROWD CONTROL OFFICER to the list of abilities OMG 12 kids and over like 200 at that place for 4 hrs I really don't think I have laughed that hard at the things I saw and the interaction of children. At what point do we forget just to be straight up and tell it like it is! I love children for that. The only group of individuals where full contact is allowed haaaaaaaaaaaa | |

Posted: 10/7/2005 8:47:33 AM | As a single mom I can so relate - the day to day patience and strength it takes to raise kids alone shows a ton of integrity. Talk about a test of manhood/womenhood! It takes a real man to stand up to keep your promises every day, and there are miles to go before you sleep!
Take care of yourself, keep your priorities straight, and good things will come to you!
Maybe, date some single mom's ?? | |

Posted: 10/26/2005 6:34:39 AM | | I agree with you. I would definitly date a single father for all of those reasons. Now if only I can find someone like that close to me.... | |

Posted: 10/26/2005 8:05:15 AM | well maybe i picked the wrong single dad lol .....
he does multi task which is ok
he does NOT have patience all the time
he does cuddle (love that bout him)
he listens just doesnt pay attention
he is dependable(when it comes to his kids so thats great)
the definition of your responcible --- not him
his priorities are striaght for the most part --- his 1st one -kids .... 2nd --- he doesnt address that
he NEVER laughs
he does not understand the word budget
he knows wat love is when its his kids --- everyone else hahahahahahaha
i cant exactly say i picked the wrong ... i like him for some reason just dont know why yet ... maybe i can be the one to make all the qualities he dont have come out !!!! | |

Posted: 10/26/2005 9:01:20 PM | | Doing the b-day party thing this weekend with a bunch of 6 and 7 yo's. Grief that is going to be a riot. How can you play with kids and not be laughing at some of the stuff they come up with. As far as cuddles? Hey I'm lucky...both my kids preferred spot to sit when possible is daddy's lap Always have to do the family hug when dropping my 4yo daughter off at headstart too. Kids are the greatest !!! | |

Posted: 10/27/2005 4:15:33 PM | As the saying goes...Anyone can be a Father, but it takes some special to be a Dad!!
And further, a Parent!!
My kids have one who is a wonderful Father...pays all he 'Has' to, does what is 'Required' of him, takes them to the movies, bowling, swimming, etc, etc etc.
Has never Parented them though in the past 3 years.
I am the Lucky One...cause I will never miss any of the late nights with my daughter's asthma attacks, girl talks with my teen son till 1am, or any of those parenting things!!
All the birthday parties...from a dozen 6 yr old girls at Chuck E Cheese, to a basement full of 16 yr old boys for a sleepover.
Hats off to all the Dads who share those special times with their kids!! | |
