Posted: 6/8/2005 6:56:38 PM | Snowboy I have been through sort of the same thing my soon to be x left me and my 3 children for my bosses son she then gave me sole custody because she was joining the army.
I am in the AirForce so being a single parent I had to have a family care plan in place. She dissappeared for about 10 months nobody heard anything from her then she calls me up after 10 months said she had been out of the army for 10 months and said she was living 3 hours away and that she wanted the kids over the weekend for her visitation I told her that was unreasonable because the kids haven't seen her in a long time and I really didn't know what her intentions were. I agreed to meet her at a local mcdonalds so she could see the kids on a friday night. So on that friday night we was getting ready to go meet with her. She shows up with the law trying to force me into giving her the kids I refused. She then went downtown and filed an emergency cort hearing to hold me in contempt and said she wanted full custody. Needless to say the Judge ruled in my favor since she was not practicing her visitation anyway. One thing I have learned Documentation means alot I know being a single parent it is hard to find time my kids ar 7,5,and 3 so it is hard to find time. I wish you luck And I will pray for you | |

Posted: 6/10/2005 2:51:52 PM | | Got a question for you other single dads: I can't stand it when, after someone learns that I am a single dad, they say, "Boy, you've got your hands full." I feel like they're implying that I have more trouble doing the job because I am a guy. Am I being too sensitive here? | |

Posted: 6/10/2005 3:58:11 PM | well flawingman71 i am a single mother and i get the same responses from people
all the time I think when they say "you've got your hands full" they more then likely mean its harder by yourself then if you have a partner. Cause in all honesty it is alot harder on your own, there is no one to share things with and I mean household duties , work, discipline, and the stress of long hard days, it just makes things easier to have help. But I find doing it myself is more rewarding then it was hearing people tell my ex he was doing a good job raising our kids when in reality all he did was lay on the couch and complain about life. I'd rather do it alone then do it alone when there is someone here that should be helping | |

Posted: 6/10/2005 8:56:56 PM | Single moms get the "boy you have your hands full" all the time also. I admit I've said it to single dads as well, but in my case it's not meant in a bad way - more of "I know what you're going through" kind of way.
I find the way the person responds is also a good indication of their character. "yes but I wouldn't have it any other way" is a much more positive response than "yeah it's a pain in the a$$ at times" and tells me a lot about their outlook on life and their kids. | |

Posted: 6/13/2005 6:12:54 PM | | I'm a full time Dad to a boy and a girl and love it. Sometimes it's not easy but I wouldn't have it any other way. Dating is sometimes a task but I signed on for this responsibility and the great times I have and the memories we make far out weigh the bumps in the road.... | |

Posted: 6/13/2005 6:18:14 PM | | i think single dads are more understanding when it comes to children , iwas dating this one guy who wasnt a father himself, and everytime he wanted me to go out and i couldnt becuz of the kids, he owuldnt undertand at all...and i think he felt that the kids were taking all of my attention away, so yea, i think a single father can relate to what is going on in the "single parent" life. | |

Posted: 6/13/2005 9:32:33 PM | | I think it is great when a man steps up and takes care of his kids, it shows that he is reponsible, caring, sensitive, sweet, and I could keep going, have all the respect in the world for single fathers. | |

Posted: 6/14/2005 12:21:30 PM | Flawing, yea man...you may be a bit touchy thinking that way.
I have three. Two of mine are teens. I admit I have my hands full! Mine aren't bad kids, but they sure are busy. I had no idea what single moms had to deal with till I became the single fulltime dad. My mother was a single mom, and I was the only child. I now thank her so often for not takingmy head off at the shoudlers....ahahahahaha.
the ladies have a very clear perspective as to how much work it is raising a child...especially by yourself. they are not saying anything about your child directly, but the fact that you now have 2 full time jobs.....it is work....

Posted: 6/14/2005 2:25:08 PM | Hi you’re not the only one. I'm a single (full-time) dad of two girls (5, 7) and one boy (2).
If you ever need someone to chat with (advice, experiences, troubles, or just need a friend) email me. I’m always looking to meet other single dads that I can relate with.

Posted: 6/14/2005 6:26:56 PM | | im a full time dad of a 4 year old son,and im finding that in my age group being 25 its kind of hard finding someone to date because all the single girls out there that ive met basically wanna go out everynight get wasted,or go out and get wasted all night long and the girls i have met that do understand about being a single parent are woman that have 2 or 3 kids and as a rule nothing against them they are very strong woman and i feel for them but i definately dont wanna start the brady bunch.. so finding that right woman is kind of hard im not looking for something temporary ive stepped up to the plate because my sons mother wouldnt i would have even if she didnt but im thru with immature girls so definately feel where you guys are coming from | |

Posted: 6/15/2005 8:57:23 AM | I am a single mom of 2, so a single dad is so sexy to me. It shows that you are a loving man, that can handle responablities, and i admire that, for so many men do not care.
Best of Luck,
