Benefit of Dating Single Dad.

I hate to do it but I have to agree with you.

I am a single mom who happens to fit all five of your criteria, but in all honesty I find myself in the minority category.
I have always had a job, post-secondary education (and currently enrolled in more classes), had my own place, vehicle and totally family oriented.

But yes I get frustrated because society makes an assumption about me. However I get tired of hearing from other single moms "how do you do it".
Honestly I just get off my ass and do it, and that's how I usually respond.
In 5 years of my child playing hockey I have never missed a game. I am the parent all the kids know, I have taken van loads of kids to the beach, the movies etc. We spend quality time with family and friends.

I get so sick of woman who sit and mope.............get over yourself and get out there.

Having said that most men shy away when they realize I am a single mother. I am so tired of this reaction. Not all of us sit on our asses and complain

So she never sees her children? What happened to her that made her like this? It is astonishing that a mother has no interest in seeing her own children, to me at least.


It's not a supposed lack of interest, but rather a compelling feigned inability or real desire to make accomodations for those periods of time. She moved 280 miles away (another 160 miles from a previous move)

I meet her 1/2 way once a month, that way it's less of a hardship with respect to the traveling distance -v- every other week.

The whys are not for me to answer.

Actions speak louder than words.

We're off topic.

i would love to date a single dad
the reasons are
he is responsible...not partying all the time
more sensitive
more maturea
more family oriented
has time for them
but also has time for you
they will go to their mother
if not maybe a grandparent
caring towards you and your children
you do not hae to teach him to be a dad
he will not be living with you
he can cook you a meal
does heis own laundry, cleans and shops
wowo what a deal...where are they?


please apply to me

Response to post 134. I've been offline for a few days so, I haven't had a chance to respond. As another poster stated not all fathers are part-time. I have full-time custody for my son. However, you stated that single dads are broke. I will admit when I made the transition it took a while to adjust my spending habits, but I now have enough savings to rent a better home in the country, and replace the computer which was stolen from me, while I was out of state visiting family. As far a picking up the check, on the first date at least I pick up the bill. What happens on the following dates depends on the type of woman I am seeing.

As far as being the custodial parent, and not letting mom see her children or weekend mom; it depends on the agreement. I have split custody, our son gets to see his mother everyday less the weekends. Me having him the entire weekend was her choice, yet at anytime she can see him during the weekend. Our custody was very bitter, but it is how you move forward after everything is settled. I can honestly say that get along great and have a health friendship for our son.

I have laundry, homework, and cleaning to do, so you'll have to excuse me.
