Posted: 12/31/2007 10:47:35 PM | I have never had a problem dating single dads, even before I had a child. However, I do think it's easier if you are a single parent, to date another single parent. There is an immediate understanding of children's needs, and that eases a lot of the burdens (mental and emotional) that go with dating a single parent. If a person doesn't have any children, they don't quite understand the time it takes in raising a child and the complications that go along with it, even if they think they do. On the other hand, if a person's children are all grown, they may not want to deal with a young child again, having "been there, done that."
I guess what it basically boils down to is this: How much do you like the person you are going out with? Because that is the bottom line, no matter what the scenario is, and how much are you willing to compromise. That's it in a nutshell. | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 3:42:10 AM | Im a young single mum.
Id love to meet a single dad, but ive never found any guys in my "acceptable" my age. (19-26ish) The only single dads i do no are in there 30s and however well we get on, nothing could happen because of the kids.
I think its alot harder for single parents to hook up with other single parents, because of the kids but most of us would probably rather do it because of the understanding of what our kids need.
I think all single parents are brilliant, but single dads really need to be recognised as an ever growing "breed" because theres nowhere need the support that there is for single mums.
lone-parents.co.uk has got some brillaint forums and loads of single parents on. i use it reguraly, lots of single dads on there to. | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 4:49:47 PM | Im a single father to three kids aged 8,6, and 3. Its hard work, its not easy.
Theres comments on here people saying the appluse single fathers. On behalf of most of the single fathers we thank you. Its nice to be appriciated. Single mothers deserve special praise too. This day in age the emphisis is shifting to single fathers. Single mothers being old news. But from the single fathers, We still salute you. As we single dads realise what you go through or have been through, we change our opinions, we change our way of life. Decisions we take for granted that you have been making. We now see why its so difficult!!
As for some comments bout dating single parents, personaly, i'd have a problem dating someone who didnt have kids. I'd like to know they know what im going through and understand when i have to see their mother to sort out access and holidays. people who dont have kids seem to want your full atention and yes rightly so, but they need to realise that it cant happen.
One question, now after my wife left me, i got my kids back and yes i needed support as i was an emotional wreck, i dont mind admiting that. I went to a place where dads meet regularly in glasgow and it helped me. But i got a brilliant question asked on one of the meetings we had. "What is a dad?" I found the answer, you concive a child you are the father, be a part of that childs life and make it happy you are a dad. When do you become a good dad? You become a good dad only when you child/children say so, not before, only your children can decide that!!
To all other single dads out there. Guys, no matter how many kids you have, stick at it. Dont give up, dont let go. That child/children depend on you, it took me a while to see how much but they do. When you feel like a failure look at their faces and when theysmile without a word know you are not failing and you are not a failure, that smile is the living Proof!! You are the reason its there | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 8:43:47 PM | I completely understand what you are saying. I'm a single aunt of my 5 year nephew and 8 year old niece. Neither one of their parents use to work and they lived in a very unsafe environment where the back door was held on literally by the chain lock and some bushes outside and the front door was closed by propping a brick against it and then you got to the inside. This went on for years with dirty diapers on the floor, bugs and unimaginable conditions. Then their grandfather on their fathers side got caught for child porn and there were allegations of him doing things to my nieces and nephew. He got off of those charges some how but as of 2007 FBI got him for child porn and he is now in prison, Thank God! But my sister divorced the dad and moved in with me about 2 years ago and then moved back close to the kids dad. Well he had gotten remarried to a women that mental "issues" and her two sons are on serious medication for their "issues" and she was prego. So all at once there was a new baby and 5 kids between the ages of 4-12. The new step mom is nutts and abusive and very emotional hurtful and so are her kids but the bad living environment got worse and the whole time I tried to talk sense into my sister until I couldn't take it anymore and stopped talking to her all together. This went on for about 3-4 months and then she called me out of the blue June '07 and told me to come and get them. I've posted it before, but neither parent pays any support and would their would not sign unless the papers said so. It was horrible and their father never calls them, never he has not called them once! My sister works off and on and neither ther father nor new step mother work. But the kiddos are very well adjusted and extremely happy here with me. I hope that something will happen for your friends children because life is to much fun at that age to not go and experience everything and every joy!
Be the way, I think single dads are hot and the best to find because you know they will love any children you may happen to have with together and they are giving of themselves by doing what they have for their kids. Besides you know they have a level head on their shoulders! | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 11:28:48 PM | i'm a fulltime single dad and have been for over 4 years now. its taught me to respect single mums so much more these days and take my hat off to both single mums and dads.  having 2 teenage daughters and their mum not in their life very much i honestly confided in single mums for advise yet also went to alot of positive parenting programs which sound sissy but really found them informative especially when it came to the girls pms stuff...geeez that knocked me for six
best wishes to all single parents and lets see our lovely children thrive to a future of love from as many couples or singles in their lives | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 10:02:18 PM | | I'm a single Dad as well. I have 2 girls and a boy. The girls dance and my boy plays travel hockey. I'm still in court after almost 3 years. My oldest girl lives with me full time and I share the other 2 every other week. When she left, she said I'll never see my kids again. She said she could beat them and she'd still win in court. I believed her. I heard all the horror stories from other guys. How they havn't seen their kids for a couple of years. I took her to court. I fought like hell, and am still fighting. She was wrong....I'll be 40 in the spring. When the battle is over, I'm going back to school so that I can help guys like me. There's a lot of really good Dads out there, who's kids are missing them terribly. I tip my hat to all the Dads out there that take care of their kids. The deck is stacked against us, but everytime a Dad gets to see his kids, our right to to be fathers becomes a little more clear to the justice system. | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 10:41:32 PM | | Well I just want to say that I am looking to date only single fathers. I feel a man with kids will understand me and my children better then a man that does not have kids. | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 12:06:18 AM | Single mom here of young boy (no contact with dad). I think more and more single dads are appearing on the scene because lots of women are leaving. Your children are lucky to have you.
Id love to find a single dad in my area of Murrieta | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 6:51:58 PM | I feel single dads have it just as hard as us single moms maybe even worse raising a girl I was raised by a single dad and feel he was great but lonely a lot also but it is very hard just because of complications we are all left alone and struggling we always do come out stronger and able to handle a lot of situations better i think I give all us single parents gratitude for never giving up all our children appreciate it  | |
