| full-time single dads Posted: 7/10/2006 5:26:36 PM | I applaud you for taking the role of raising your kids, believe me where I live and come from about 80% of men who have kids don't even bother to take the role and many kids are forgotten by thier own fathers. So you are many of the lucky ones who have gifts of precious children whom you love dearly and don't ever forget that, anyone can be a father, Takes a REAL MAN to be a dad..........wink....Muriel | |

| full-time single dads Posted: 7/12/2006 3:21:07 PM | Of course there are other single dads out here. In "full-time" I'm guessing you're meaning the "primary or full custodial" parent. Sometime I think it would be easier if I had primary or full custody, then I wouldn't have to deal with my ex'. But of course that's not realistic nor is it very sensitive of my children's needs.
PS: I only read the OP, if I am being redundant of anyone else's post, I apologize. | |

| full-time single dads Posted: 7/12/2006 4:39:45 PM | Hi There,
I'm new to this site as well, and also a single dad to a 13 y.o. and 7 y.o. both boys. I know sometimes it does feel like you are the only one, for both genders I'm sure. but let's take solace in the fact we are not alone, and just continue truckin' forward, cuz we've made it this far. I have found that keeping it light and thinking of your glass as half full, works most of the time.
In the meantime, nice to meet you all, and I wish you all success in your search. Keep Smilin' and keep it real.

| full-time single dads Posted: 7/12/2006 9:40:57 PM | | Have to say it is quiet a change to see fathers who care about their kids than some mothers/fathers who could care less but that should not make us all change how we look at fathers, because there are just as many deadbeat mothers out there today as there are deadbeat fathers! | |

| full-time single dads Posted: 10/19/2006 10:00:22 AM | Hi,
I did the long haul myself with two boys, one of whom was handicapped and died of heart defects at age 14....I mean he was REALLY HANDICAPPED --- couldn't walk.
I did it all. Including nursing him to his death. Hats off guys.
Amazingly, I had some great suitors. I'm a pretty lady, and whether I had kids, or was pregnant, never seemed to matter to guys. Either guys like kids and are grown up themselves, or they aren't grown up. Childbearing and raising is part of this life.
Now, I have one 17 year old and my job is about done. I'm proud of myself, be proud of yourself and don't let any dimwit take that pride away from you, only very few people who haven't parented fail to even get it. Those who don't are actually few and not particularly normal. Hats off. | |

| full-time single dads Posted: 10/19/2006 3:45:48 PM | Wow, there are a ton of single dads out there. I have myself have two daughters age 5 and 10 and i am very involved in their daily lives. I think it is impressive that so many guys are active in their children's life. Any man can make a baby but a real make takes care of them. Salutes to all those good dads out there. | |
