Posted: 2/10/2008 1:19:44 PM | | I know exactly how you feel, it’s happened to me about 3 times now. You move heaven and earth to organise a little kid free time, then get stood up. My worst experience was from a woman from POF. She actually txted me to say she was on her way but running late. I waited at a coffee shop for 2hours. Until they closed. She wouldn't reply to my txts and answer my calls ???? The other couple were ladies who said I should have txted them more leading up to the date, to confirm it was still on. A date is a date in my book. My kid free time is so precious to me. I find it such a let-down when I get stood up. Maybe because there are so many men on POF. Some ladies think they can treat us this way, as there are always going to be more. | |

Posted: 2/10/2008 1:54:58 PM | I'm a single dad, almost. Her mother partipates in her life, but I have her most of the time. She almost always sleeps at my place. I think it scares off some women. My daughter is two and children are a huge responsibility. Some women my age have already raised their kids and don't want to raise another one. Plus my daughter demands a lot of my attention and that would take away from their attention. But not all have that viewpoint. Some ladies just love kids and it doesn't bother them. It all depends on the person. The best part is it doesn't matter. What matters is how blessed I am to have her, regardless of what some potential date thinks. Oh yeah, I'm not opposed to having another baby, with the right woman. One of the greatest moments in my life was when the nurse handed me the scissors to cut the cord. To all the fathers who do the job with love, I salute you.

[Been eyeing a slow-cooker, looks pretty straight forward in theory. ]
The slow cooker is a great idea. Its great for making low cost cuts of meat taste great. It also makes enough chow for at least a couple meals. The Betty Crocker website has some great recipes.

Posted: 2/11/2008 6:36:07 AM | I am a single dad to two wonderful boys, one just turned 6 and one is almost 8. Me and my ex have joint custody with me deciding their residence and she gets them during the summer. Since she lives in Georgia and me in Texas it makes it hard on the boys not getting to see her as much as they should, but that was her choice to move.
I just got my boys in December and have grown an utmost respect for all single dads and moms. It is a true blessing being a part of your childs life on a daily basis and watching/helping them mature into responsible adults, but it is a job. 
My only complain when talking with other single parents are with the ones that bash their kids other parent in front of the children. I have a lot against my ex but never bad mouth her around my boys. Not that I am special, it is just something I promised myself I would do, not for my sake but for theirs.
Good luck to all single parents, and one more thing. Be careful who you bring into your childrens lives, make sure who you date is someone that will love and accept your children and most importantly, respect them. | |

Posted: 2/12/2008 2:34:28 PM | | Yes there are a few single dads out here in the world. One thing that I'm shocked about, is the women that pass us by because we are single dads. Here we are taking care of our kids like we should, and the lady's treat us like crap, and don't even give us the time of day. There is something wrong with any clues. Help me to understand. | |

Posted: 2/12/2008 8:58:01 PM | gee I diden't know there were so many songle dads on this sit I'm a mother of a 5 year old boy althoug he doesen't live with me he lives with my parents. he's never met his father and I don't really know if he ever will doesen't seem like his dad wants anything to do with him. But I got alot of respect for single dad's and wish there were more guys out there willing to be there for there kids like that. I have dated one single father he had 2 boys one who lived with him at that time was 9 and the other lived with the mom he was about 2, but that relationship diden't end very well on his part I could see why they split up, he now has another boy and a little girl with his new gf. I have always admired single dad's and wish I had the chance to meet more of them. hope everyone here finds there soulmate and are happy in there life and if you ever did want to chat just find me and message me always looking for new people to chat with.  | |

Posted: 2/12/2008 9:59:07 PM | | I am a single dad of three amazing kids. I have a 5 year old boy, 6year daughter and a 8 year old boy. They are my world. I have been single now for five years and I have just started on pof. I am finding it very hard to find someone even to go to coffe togehter, but I am not about to give up. I have had five years to re-think my life and I can not image not having my kids with me. For all the single parents out there, don't give up! You are doing an amazing job that not everyone can do. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 5:28:29 AM | Smoothburner,
Believe it or not, there are women out there who prefer dating single dads. I'm a single mom and I find I have alot more in common with single dads. They understand my life better. Plus, I feel that anyone who is a caring parent and takes their responsibilities seriously is made of the right cloth for me.
Hang in there,

Posted: 2/15/2008 9:39:25 PM | | hi smoothburner,,,i am a single mom,,and it really warms my heart to know that there are dads responsible enough to want to care for their child(children) alone,,,it is most certainly very tough at times raising children on your own,,i know it is very hard for me at times,as right now i am not allowed to work,which for someone my age, that does suck,,and no i am not crippled or dying LOL | |

Posted: 2/15/2008 11:17:58 PM | Hats off to single dads!! I'd love to find a single dad to fall in love with! Sure it's challenging with being busy with each others kids actvities and all, but that's what makes it fun right? Nothing in life that's worthwhile comes easy right?
I think the problem lies with you guys opening up to us single moms...lol. It seems your thinking about not wanting to take on not only a woman, but yet another child or possibly children. Being a single mom i struggle getting my 'sperm-donor' (ex husband) to pay child support and sometimes even show up for his visitation, so i applaud all you single dads for stepping up to the plate and loving and caring for your children. They are truly blessed to have you, and you are lucky to have the sometime thankless yet most rewarding job in the world of raising a child. Keep up the good work and don't rule out us single moms as awesome people to date...we know exactly what your going through and we can navigate the bumpy seas together. | |

Posted: 2/16/2008 10:16:19 AM | | Personally I would RATHER date a single dad - being a single mom, they're more likely to understand that I might not be able to go out on a school night or if my babysitter cancels at the last minute...moreso than a single guy with no kids. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 7:06:32 AM | I had a child later in life he is 14 and I am 48 ! we live in mississippi and have no other famly to speak of and so far so good .
I am trying to get him old enough to drive before I need to go to the hospitle or something as these days people seem to sit on their hands and stair at the floor if they see someone with a kid !
I notice most of the dads have younger kids when they turn into teenagers its rough !!!
specially with girls as my daughter is 24 now and on her own , but it can be done and good luck cause your gona need it !!! | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 9:17:49 AM | i have been a single for 2 months as of today ... i was single since just before i was 6 months pregnant when i dumped her father because he was unfit to raise her so i made a hugh decision by tellign myself im better off doing it alone .... but im not alone i live with my mother have for almost 2 years now ... she has raised 4 great kids as a single mom and all of which moved back ...so she is now a grandparent but just met a guy whom she is engaged to and he to has a daughter he gets once every 2 weeks ... ...
i find it hard at my age to find a guy that will even just want to be friends with me now that i have a child ..i had more date offers when i was single and pregnant for corn sakes ....
i wish i knew other single mom's/dad's around my age so that i would accually have friends that i can relate to all my other friends are still in school or work and party all the time and dont know why i cant go out when i want to | |
