| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/30/2006 5:06:26 PM | Hello out there! I am a single dad as well. i have a 7 year old son who lives with me all the time except for every other weekend when he is with his mother. I have always been the one who dropped him off and picked him up from day care, played outside, gone to the park, etc....the dating can be difficult but i will not give up until I find her! She has to be around somewhere!
Good luck men and happy fishing!!!! | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/7/2006 9:24:23 PM | Very well put......"CRWL3R" i agree with you even tho i will get muh ass chewed for saying that all men/we hear is the women ****ing about men who do not step up and handle things or take care of their, children and how hard it is find a man who is willing be w/us because we have children or how every man is the same as our ex's.
Not all men should be tossed in the same pile as the men who do not care about their children or who treat us women like shit because NOT every man is the same as our exs or the men, we have ran into/met in our area.
(Same goes for women aswell) | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/7/2006 10:04:57 PM | | Single Dads or single moms either way is a demanding job, I respect anyone who does it alone,its pretty tough for men because generally we dont know how to be moms and be nuturing like mothers do, a father will tell his child who is crying something like it will feel better tomarrow, while a mother will say something like can i kiss your booboo, but on the other hand most women dont know how to fix the car or the plumbing, so anyone who is doing it alone has to be more versitale and act out the part of the opposite sex in one way or another.....the one thought that comes to mind is this, either we shouldnt have gotten married in the first place or we should have worked harder at keeping our marriages .....I know that people grow apart but remember when you took those vows for better or worse that, that was supposed to be what you meant......good luckto all | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/7/2006 11:06:25 PM | | I'm a single dad (three girls with me) and I think it is a thing of the future. A lot of women are successful in the workforce and choose not to raise the kids after seperation. Times are changing for both sexes. I'm just glad to see that men are taking responsibility and not feeding into the old sterotype. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/7/2006 11:32:51 PM | workerbee68 I think you just hit that one on the head in the small northern Alberta Town I live in it seens that when a seperation occurs it is the trend in many casses that the father is taking the children and raising them on their own while the mothers move on and dont want the resposability of the children I am single mom with no complaints no one should complain about having the children full time at least you know they are being taken care of.  | |

Thats true i mean if things dont/wont work out in the first place why even take the chance and go through the vows just to turn around a few months later and tear someone apart kind of sucks because NONE of us knows how long, anything will last but now days couples split up and never even remain friends i would NOT want that at all because i'd rather have him/them as a friend than not have them at all. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/8/2006 8:20:30 AM | I just wanted to say cutos to you. I have just went through the same thing, my ex husband was trying to get himself together also, and he just decided that he wanted that life more than one with his family and his son. So I decided to remove my son from the situation, so therefore left me to be a single mom. I know how hard it is to have to deal with that and being a single parent.
Keep up the great work, and hope everything works out for you. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/8/2006 8:23:10 AM | Hello to you too,
I can understand your frustrations because I'm going through the same thing. I have always been the responsible one taking care of everything and making sure everything is done and in order.
So because this is all new to me, dating has been a very big challenge, since I have the responsibility of my son, and we'll when you arn't 19 anymore things get a little challenging, at least for me.
Good luck to you, I hope you find what you are looking for. :) | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/8/2006 8:25:24 AM | | That goes for single moms to remember...:) | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/8/2006 8:30:12 AM | You are very correct in what you say about your marriage statement. But for some instances like mine, my ex husband wanted to have kids but then when our son came around he went out and cheated after our son was 2 months old, and just wanted to be out parting and thats it, he put us on the back burner and he came around when he wanted to. So for me, trying to work things out after having already tried before just isn't worth it. Sometimes people would like to believe something they are not, and they can't even accept it...
Good luck to you too :) | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 7:07:29 AM | | Hi. I am a single dad with 2 kids. a 3 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 7:38:39 AM | | hmmmmmm 7 pages of single dad's and not one of them whinning about not getting any child support. Also none of them crying about how their ex's done them wrong. You women take heed. Strong men ( or women ) don't whine and complain. | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 9:30:08 AM | | Hell yes. represent. Im a wonderful father and everyone that knows me knows i take care of business when it comes to my baby boy. | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 9:50:48 AM | | Single dad here, and totally fine happy with it. I would not stand for my kids to not be in my life. I have no idea how anyone could not have the kids they brought into this world not be in their lives. | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 12:23:59 PM | | me and its a full time deal my ex is out of provence and has little contact and i love being me but why do ladies run from a loving father and date some butt head lord i m sure some one can tell me yours Del | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 1:36:20 PM | | Experience tells me that women run from single dads cause the kids get priority when it comes to giving out our attention. Women dont like this, they want us to revolve around them. like i said, this is from my experience. may not apply to all women. | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 1:53:18 PM | | Yep single dad here! finding it tough to get any help whatsoever as mum gets the child benift and hence all the others. Had to take eastbourne council to court as they refused to count my daugther as living with me. Hate being classed as the Absent Father! Cursed Child benifit! ;-) | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/26/2007 8:59:36 PM | Single dad of 10 and 3 yr old boys for just over 2 yrs now. Working on my 14 yr old as we speak.  | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 7/30/2007 12:55:43 PM | | Hey I was at a wedding over the weekend and all the single women where all over me like a rash when they found out I had custody of my son. Was a bit annoying as I dont see what the fuss is about but proves there is hope and yes I went home alone ok stumbled hehe | |
