| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/1/2007 11:45:25 AM | hi ..I'm a single dad of 2 (24/7) | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/1/2007 12:03:50 PM | | I looked at a bunch of these posts and I'm confused. How can you be a single Dad when you have joint custody like 50/50. Ok yes if you are here you are single and ok you have kids. But having full custody and taking care of them and for them 24/7 I believe that makes you a Signle FATHER. Remember anyone can be a dad all it takes is that thing between the legs!!!!! | |
|
| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/1/2007 12:12:23 PM | Please don't take my last post wrong...I respect everyone that tries..... I just think that too many guys play that single dad card when they don't do crap for thier kids....Just a ploy to make people think a little more highly of them , them they deserve!! | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/1/2007 1:14:45 PM | Have to say Wow .. There are a lot of single "dads"... And I think those who have there kids 50/50 can say they are single dads or moms... ... Now a days it seems to be hard to get custody of there kids... So if u have 50/50 then good for u...I'm talked to a lot of single dads who have them all the time and part time and those who are still fighting to have some rights... So be proud that u are in your kids life and cherish the time u have with them...
I'm glad that there are people out there who are willing to give us single parents a chance... Who are willing to do whatever they can to be part of our lives as well as our kids... Understanding is a really important part in dating a single parents.. So hold your heads up everyone and hope for the right one to come into your lives as well as your children's... And that everyone will be happy in the end... | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/1/2007 1:29:47 PM | | sexy you are right and I do apoligize to everyone that I offened. 50/50 split is harsh, I really meant those who claim that they are single parents when they really don't do much for thier kids, don't see them but once a week or just want them for the child support that they will get! So I am sorry to anyone that I offened. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/3/2007 12:25:09 PM | Hey Air...
We all have our opinions and I don't think that anyone was offended.. Well, i hope not.. Those single parents who have there kids 50/50 who do fight show that they luv there kids.... At least what i have come across.. I think it's a great idea to go for 50/50...If the relationship u have with your ex isn't going so great...When people hear about my situation they ask how can that be... Ex's don't get along. I believe if both parents luv there kids then they will work out something that's best for there kids and stop thinking about themselves... But i guess growing up with out a dad u look at things a lot different..
Those parents who doen't take the time to spend and get to know the joy of there kids well they are missing out... I think that's why more courts are granting 50/50...They see that both parents are in love with there kids and want the same amount of time...I do wish we as parents can do that with out the courts but i know that all situations aren't they same... Luv your kids and as well learn again how to love yourself... | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/3/2007 12:46:30 PM | I was offended. If i could have my kids full time i would but mom has a right to be a parent too. 50/50 works for many, and i am just one example. If anything it takes more of an adult to get along with the ex for the sake of the kids. The children win as they get two homes with two loving parents in a 50/50 care situation. Air, glad you apologized and added more to what you meant. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/4/2007 4:59:19 AM | | I just want to start off by saying to everyone that has thier children and are taking care of them....YOU ARE A HERO!!! It is a sad time that we live in, that people can just toss thier children (our future) away. It takes alot of ourselves to raise children and to those of us that do it , it shows great dedication, , patience, and love. For that I respect each and everyone one of you. Your true reward are your children so be proud of what you do and raise your head high. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/4/2007 7:03:27 PM | | Got my 10 year old Peyton (yes he was born the day after the colts drafted THE Peyton) It isnt easy juggling my job and being the only adult in my sons life. I wouldnt change it for the world. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/4/2007 8:31:11 PM | Single Dad here, full custody, four daughters, ages 9,10,11 and 13 (going 28, I think?)
But, the ages will change next week.
Some of my talents are: Hemming pants and sleeves. (Well, who else is gonna do it?) Shopping (Even for shoes and femine products...AAAAK!) Fixing boo boos (Hey, I just got CPR certified) Dealing with drama (yes, my home is a hotbed of femine emotion) EXPERT diaper-changer (That part is done) My biggest talent: making sure they know they're loved, safe and can talk about ANYTHING
And to think, I can change your oil, mow the grass, fix the toilet, open pickle jars AND...[[drum roll]] I DON'T LEAVE THE LID UP! What more could you ask for?
I think I need a Calgon Moment.......... | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/4/2007 9:06:48 PM | SlingDad is a typo for SglDad, which is me. (It came across typed as slgdad.)
(A throwback to Slingblade.......mmmmmhmmmmm, ya got any biscuits in there?)
It's been me & three since April 04. (10yo daughter and 6 yo boy/girl twins 24/7)
Mom isn't in the picture, her actions speak louder than her words.
Men (nor women) are supposed to be Mom AND Dad, ya know? | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/5/2007 12:55:34 AM | I just wanted to say that single dads are great people.They deserve a chance.There is nothing wrong with single dads.I support them...and personaly,I wouldnt care if a guy had kids.I would date a single dad.lol.I support you dingle dads! (there is my point.)  | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/5/2007 4:41:36 AM | I am a single father of a 6 year old boy. I have him most of the time, but his mom usually takes him once or twice a week.
I don't get how a man (muchless a woman) can have a child and then turn their back on him/her; to say nothing of those that repeat the process with other women (or men) time and time again thereafter.
For me everything else is a secondary priority to my son. Which isn't to say that I don't take care of myself, or couldn't be there for a woman-friend, but the boys my responsibility. I made him by my own intent. I brought him into this grim world. And right now his totally dependent on me. Come Hell or high water, no matter the "sacrifice", I'll always be there for my son
But whats really the best is, I see how my son looks at me, how he idolizes me, and it's just so important to live up to his expectations... to validate his belief in me. And I love it... being that example to him.
Support and appreciation is always good to hear. But it's only the icing on the cake. Nothing could ever make me consider my son a burden. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/5/2007 5:13:59 AM | I was reading through the posts and kudos to all the single dads. Just wanted to put my 2cents in on this one. Single parents are single parents whether they are doing it half the time or all the time because when the kids are with them they have all the responsibility. If you can share the custody (amicably) it is excellent for the kids. Better than excellent, they need to know both halves of that dynamic that created them loves them unconditionally. I have been both the other half with a 1/2 time single dad with 2 girls and a full time single mom of my own, both have their challenges I tip my hats to all of us who make this choice for their lives conciously or unfortunate circumstances drop it on your lap. I wouldn't change my choices for anything I have a wonderful 17 year old that I have raised on my own since she was 1 no Dad in the picture. You gentlemen who do get in there and 'get dirty' have all my respect. | |

| SINGLE DADS Posted: 8/9/2007 1:39:53 PM | | well i've been raising 2 kids boy 15 and girl5 no help from the mother, had to take courses just to learn about well everything lol it wasn't and isn't easy but if not for me who would take care of them. I sometimes get fustrated and confused but the joy I get is worth everything i go through. the only thing is that meeting a good woman is tough,not for my kids but for me. | |
