| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/28/2006 7:53:47 PM | Another single dad here.
I've got my 3 year old boy 50% of the time and I pick him up from pre-school everyday, so he sees my face all the time regardless of whose week it is (every other weekend is the only time I don't get to see him). When his mom and I first split I had him full time for almost a month while she got her $h1t straight, then again for 2 months when she was sick and hospitalized. It can be tough doing it alone, but I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything...he's a rockin' kid. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/28/2006 8:22:32 PM | "JUST PLAY THE HAND GOD DEALT YOU!"
Thats very true i know that was NOT directed towards any in praticular but i just wanted to state i am NOTHING like that and i do NOT want/need attention from anybody sure things arent a "peice of cake" for me and my lil boy, right now but things will get better and change for the better for us because at least we STILL have someone in our lives who LOVES and CARES about us and would never leave us on selfish needs. | |

Once matters have been brought to court for custody (as long as the mother wants the child/children ) she is granted that custody regardless of the fathers request for sole custody unless there is a proven danger to the child as pointed out earlier.
Wow, and I thought dads just got screwed like that in Texas....
Welcome to the club Driver... Need any KY?
At somepoint these idiots we call politicians are going to realize that alot of times, the Dad is the better environment for the kids and they'll write laws that make sense instead of the mom having to go to prison or die before they'll consider giving the Dad custody.
What's worse is when you have a mom that doesn't really care as much about the kids as she does getting that check every month.... But I'm going to restrain myself on that one... lol lol
I raise my to all, man or woman, who are trying to raise them right!  | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 6:29:19 AM | hey ibdaman im a single mom and i'm going through the same thing you did. does it get easier to just let them go after a while? i just wanted my daughter to know something about her dad even though hes not the best guy in the world to be around but its not like i would ever leave her alone with him anyway. A lot of Guys assume that all single moms are looking for a new daddy for their kids. so we are all in the same boat as you.  | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 10:31:45 AM | Wow, didn't realize how many single fathers are out there. I have my little girl with me full time, and being in the navy makes it a little harder than I thought it would be, but I would not trade it for anything. She is absolutely the greatest thing in the world. Everyday is a joy with her. I think being a single dad is a great gift, but she is the greatest gift.

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 11:16:58 AM | SINGLE DADS KICK BUTT My kid is visiting his mom right now, and I am going back to school in the fall.... no funding, no grants, no assistance, no student loans... wanna guess what there is for single moms? There are more and more of us out there, and I think that we are exremely blessed to be putting our kids to bed, rather than wondering what they are doing.... Sometimes the nights are lonely, but somewheree there is a girl who can accept me and my child without reservations. Keep up the awesome job, dads!!! | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 11:49:57 AM | | Yes we single women who have no problem with Single dads are rare. But we are around and are REAL. | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 1:18:24 PM | | I would never have a problem with a single father! As a matter of fact, I have walked on a date who told me that his kids were in the past, so I didnt have to worry about them. Children are so precious.....and I have the utmost respect for single parents, whether they are mama's or daddy's. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 1:29:43 PM | Single dad here. 8 year old son.  | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 6:15:21 PM | | You have got to be kidding, some guy said his kids were IN the PAST. What an A**, unbelievable. Holy crap!! | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 6:30:06 PM | Just another of us single fathers standing up to be counted...
full-time, widowed, two daughters: one who's 20 and in college, and the younger, who's 9 but likes to think she's 20...
Warmest regards to all... | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/29/2006 6:42:02 PM | Our kids are never in our past because they are always in our minds and hearts.... shame on any sperm doner who says his kids are in his past and not to worry about them. Yes I said sperm doner and rightfully so.... it takes a father (dad) to earn that respect of fatherhood by being a part of their lives/life and no matter what they are never the past. Stand up dads and fathers who do whats right by being there for their kids. It isn't rare for fathers to be there for their kids or out of the ordinary for us to be doing what we should be doing but let me tell you all this, every fathers day that I get the cheesy little drawing of me and my kids with a grass field and a big yellow sun etc. makes me happy I am their dad. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/30/2006 7:02:32 AM | PROUD single father here... Boy 19 mos, girl 4 years. Fought HARD to get the 50% care and custody of them that I enjoy now. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I could never understand how a father could have his own flesh and blood running around out there, and not be involved in it's life, let alone on a day to day basis. | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/30/2006 12:42:37 PM | Well first venture into forums and stumble across this. Single Dad here with two at home..boy 6 and girl 9...and one boy away who is 20.
I agree about not understanding how a father can walk away, but what about mothers. The conection to children is strong, but don't mothers have a different conection after carrying the child and giving birth.
My seperated wife has recently moved to Calgary to start over and thinks that it is fine to move and take the kids. I am going to fight tooth and nail to ensure they stay with me. It would have been different if she moved down the road in Ontario...then we could have shared them and the kids enjoy being around both parents...but she won't consider anything but Calgary.
@ cowtown cowboy...say hi to my kids mother... | |
