I applaud all the dads out there who do care about their kids and do take care of them.
Unfortunately my ex didnt give a damn about his 3 kids he hasnt bothered to visit in the last 4 yrs and before that he wasnt consistant he would let his kids down to the point where if he said he was coming over they didnt take him seriously he never kept up his support payments either , he lives a ten minute car ride away not the other end of the planet but he might as well be as he doesnt bother ...

So to all you dads out there who do love there kids I say good for you your kids will appreciate it when they are grown enough to understand.
Dont let your kids down they do feel it and it does hurt...

and to those of you who had to fight hard for custody or visiting rights I say more power to you and God bless you it will be worth it in the end dont give up the fight !!

im a single dad of 2
daughter of 9 and son of 6, i have full custody of them and am very proud of them both :o)

i recently been told that single dads are becoming a growing factor with 11% of single parents being male here in the UK.

i cant understand the praise we get tho cos its no harder than being a single mum.

I'm a single dad of two amazing kids. You are spot on that being a single dad is essentially the same as being a single mom. Single parenting is hard (all parenting can be hard on occasion), but very commonplace and has been done for ages. Although we are by no means a silent majority, we are everywhere. We may be ignored by the media who is infatuated with the image of the heroic single mom and the deadbeat, abusive dad. However, I have found friends, family, and employers to be surprisingly supportive.

I'm a single father of a teenage girl. Having arrived later in her life, I've felt it has been a catch up game for me. Now she's entering the teenage years, it's becoming more difficult.

sorry sexylookinggirl,but dads have to prove themself in a court and fight the system as much as the mom,just to prove who is the better parant to raise the children.no it is not easy for any single parent.Women get a free ride in the court system and do not have to prove anything.Most men will not stand a chance because of that.If the system was more fair on placeing parent A and parent B and have nothing to do with the sex of the parent,basing the decision on the facts,in the best interest of the children(what it is about anyway)then you would have more men step up to the line for there kids.

I really respect all of the single dads out there!!! I am a single mom of only one!! it can be a hand full at times but also it is so rewarding! I think that the best provider should take on the roll of the parent, rather it be father or mother. I have met alot of fathers( on another site for single parents) and 3 out of 5 of them had custody, or atleast part custody of there children. Its the woman that walkes away from their children, the very one whom gave birth to these children that I can't agree with or understand!!! SO GOOD JOB TO THOSE OF YOU DADS THAT STEPED UP!!!

hey bluebrummie, I can certainly relate to what your going through, been divorced now for close to 14 yrs. And I guess the trust thing is something each of us has to work out within ourselves. I have not been involved with anyone since my divorce, I haven't given up on trusting or relationships yet. I suppose mainly I just been so afraid of being let down again, but the only way I know of to trust again, is just to get out there, and take thing's slowly, and have faith that there are still trustworthy women out here. I believe that they do exsist, and I believe that you will find one that you can trust again. heck, I'm 53 this month, and I refuse to give up, so just hang in there, and the very best to you!

Happy 4TH to all!!!! Single dad with full custody. My praise goes to all who have there kids living with them. Personally I could never imagine not having my son with me. Like some our situation is his mom is not involved in his life but that is her loss. Love being a dad and seeing him grow into a young man, well he is 14 now but the changes have been amazing. It really doesnt matter how hard or easy things go it is all worth it. Just kick back tonight whever you are (well USA) have your kid with you look up to the sky put all else aside and enjoy the moment of celebration with your child....Best wishes to all

You obviously chose the wrong guy to have kids with.. I am a single dad who didn't get much of an option in the situation. I see my little guy every 2nd day and pay a healthy support but every 2nd day is still not the same as waking up every morning with him.. they make birth control for ***holes who don't want to be responsible for their actions.. use it or chose a better partner next time..

I see many fathers here who are fortunate enough to enjoy custody of their kids. I am not as fortunate to have any of my sons living with me since the mother pretty much has all the power here. My boys are young, she is getting married in less than 6 months and even though it pains me to day it I know they are happy living with their mother and her fiance. I do get to see them every second weekend and have them with me the entire weekend which is ok for me..... but cuzz22 is right, it isn't the same as waking up to them daily or being there for everything that happens with them daily.
For now all I can do is see them on my visitations, pay my support and always let them know I love them.

I have 2. A boy now 19 and a girl 17. It's only been a couple of years since I made their mom leave. (too much voilence) I tried to make it happen earlier but two attorneys told me to wait. The courts are not easy to dads. My ex didn't have much of a relationship with the kids for about 4 years before leaving. She has, in the last 3 months, tried to restore having a relationship with my daughter. She only makes a small effort with son.

It can be difficult at any stage but it is well worth it!

Hi To all the single dads. We are scatterted all over. I myself have had the pleasure of the job for 10 yrs and what a ball its been. my son is 11 and just got his school report - had to do exams for senior school and would you believe it, above average in all subjects. How proud am I.
I not really the boring type but I agree single dads do need more of a voice, buts gents its not that an unusual job..........you just juggle more and then find out its great fun. i have travelled Europe and elswhere with my son (Hawii this xmas hopefully) and I have more female friends than that.
yea its tough somedays, but everyone has a tough day.........Think of all the good days
I luv it and feel privilaged to have had the chance. Remember boys.......WE ARE VERY SPECIAL!

My father was a "single" dad for a short while! I gave him no easy task at the age of 16! ( he was a widower) -

HE stuck thru it, and we have a wonderful relationship!

Good luck to all you Fathers who have teenage girls! :)

5Kids is a big step but if you care about the person and you want to be with them than them haveing 5kids should NOT matter i mean its not like your asking the woman to become the mother of them, 5kids and i agree i think it is stupid how a single parents wants a new relationship it seem hard B/C the other one is afraid to be with someone's children (not there own).


Good luck to you and your kids hopefuly you can find a WOMAN who will not run from you just because you have kids!
