Posted: 7/13/2008 8:51:20 PM | This is for the dads! (NO FEAR MOMS...I ALSO HAVE AN POEM FOR US)
I remember the day when I just held your hand
I felt so tiny and small in your demanding command.
The safety and warmth I felt from just one touch
was enough to make me realize I love you so much.
You've been there for the good, the bad and the evil.
No matter what happened I was always your angel.
When I was afraid I'd run to your arms.
You held me so close I felt safe from all harm.
Why are you so wonderful? Why are you so great?
A man I can admire and never could hate.
Now I'm on my own away from your safety
away from your presence which I adored so greatly.
You will always be with me rooted deep in my heart.
Your guidance and wisdom will never part.
You've made me smile, you've made me sad
but I'll never stop loving the man, the teacher, my idol, my dad. | |

Posted: 7/14/2008 4:46:19 AM | What do I think of single Dads...... THEY ROCK... Me being a single Mom, I would definately rather date a full-time single dad then one without kids. Being a full-time single dad tells me so much about them, the love they have for their children, they are nurturing, responsible and they know what us single moms are going through where men without kids don't, they realize that we can't just drop everything at the spur of the moment to do something, that things happen and maybe instead of having a nite out with just the two of us, it turns into a nite in watching Harry Potter or Chicken little, with pizza and the kids. I don't understand how single moms only want to date men with no children and then they wonder why these men break off the relationship very quickly.. So ladies with children or who don't have children give a Single Dad a chance you may realize you were missing out on something avoiding them | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 5:43:40 AM | I love this thread. I wish all men were like you single-fathers.
I would LOVE to date a single-father, however, all the 'fathers' I seem to come across are dead-beats, like my kids' own father.
Any single-fathers from London ? ;) lol
Anyway, Kudos to all you men who are stepping up to the plate! | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 12:04:32 PM | Please define 'deadbeat dad'? I have never understood this.
the laws just make us pay child support and when we become uneployed, we are still supposed to pay that same dollar amount. Now, how can they hold you to something tt you just can't do?
And, if yu become late on your payments, people act like you dont care or aren't responsible...........money doesn't show nor indicate your love. Why not make it a bigger deal to make dads be completely responsible and not just trying to get them economically liable. We have enough unfit mothers out there............. | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 8:26:06 PM | i'm a single dad of a three year old girl. she's the best thing in my life. i hear a lot of praise for being a single dad and for going to the lengths i went to to get my daughter but i feel the whole thing is a little unbalanced. at least as men we are more likely to get/have/keep a better job than the average single mom. also i've noticed that people are more tolerant to a single dad than their female counterparts. like i said, i've been given a lot of praise for what i did but i know single moms who work twice as hard as i do and recieve nothing but scorn. it just irritates me.
anyways, as for the dating thing, i couldn't tell ya. i don't actually get the opportunity to meet any women so i guess i'll find eventually, right? | |

Yeah i agree tootalljones...i don't think the system/world/people should be putting LABELS on anybody no matter if your an father pays NOTHING to help support your child or your a mother who pays NOTHING to help support your child, i honestly HATE the word "Deadbeat Moms/Dads"....Thats the worse way to describe a parent. | |

i am a full-time single dad and i'm wondering if there are any other single dads out there? it seems like i am the only one....and ladies how do you feel about single dads?
There is nothing wrong with being a single Dad. Or single parent for that matter. It's a lot better then two people being together who shouldn't be. I won't date a single Dad though. For the same reason as why my roommate and my other female friends won't date a single Dad. We're still young and want the chance to start our own families. If we were in our 40's things would probably be different, but not at this age. I want that chance to have a go at having my own family. I want that chance to try to be with that guy who we share all of our children. The only mother of his children is me and visa versa. I want to experience a first pregnancy with someone else who is experiencing it for the first time, etc. | |

Posted: 7/21/2008 3:05:17 AM | Holly Crap! Thought I was one of a only few single dads. I am a single father of 3 daughters for 7 plus years. My oldest is now a senior in High School and my youngest is 11. I have enjoyed of minute of it and wouldn't change it for the world. I haven't dated much but that was by choice, I knew I would probably have to cancel dates because of my kids busy schedule and didn't want to do that to anyone. In the beginning I didn't want my kids to feel I was pushing them away as their mom did then their schedule got so busy I just felt no one would want to be second fiddle to them and they (my kids) will always be first. Now that they are older and I have time but it has been so long I feel like a virgin.
Single dads, really great seeing so many of us (not that I'm glad our marriages failed)! My biggest rewards comes from being there and watching them grow up with many yet to come. With every one of their achievements no matter how big or small comes great pride and the sense of worth that nothing can top. Raising our kids really teaches us how to become better individuals, we learn how both sides (mother and father) sees things and we can relate much better then most. Good luck to all of you! | |

Posted: 7/21/2008 11:45:35 AM | am a single dad of a 4 year old girl and ur speaking of dead beat dads n mums my little ones mother put her 1hf year old daughter out on the street as i was livin in homeless unit after we split as she went of with some1else, would go up and find the little one totally dirty and sometimes outside in freezing cold with only a nappy on, said i would take care her for couple of weeks and her words were get her out of my sight, now she wants absolutely nothing to do with this innocent angel and even claiming to everyone she doesnt have a daughter. whats worse is i am a manic depresant and am trying my hardest to over come this with putting all my attention on my daughter but doesnt help that i lack support from friends and family so am very isolated, but at the same time i wouldnt have it any other way cause a day without her would just break me, dont know what i do when she moves out lol
Any sorry to rattle on, its great to see that there are alot of singledads out there doing the right thing andbeing there for there own flesh and blood hats of to uz all and keep up the good work | |

Posted: 7/21/2008 12:08:33 PM | | There are groups out there just for single parents. I know cuz I created one in my community. If there isnt one, maybe you should look into creating one. Its alot of work but it has its own rewards. | |

You cant think all women are like that.. those women are the type that dont go out and make their own life better, they expect someone else to do it for them by marrying a guy who will support them.. Well that is bullshit.. maybe because I grew up in a family where my mom actually made more than my dad... who knows..
I think a guy with one, two, three kids is just fine. Another thing is, women who don't like guys with kids, either dont like kids or are immature...
Single moms do have it hard, but no harder than single full time dads.
