Posted: 6/16/2005 4:48:56 PM | I am also a full-time single father.
It seems that most women, especially single women with children.. would rather have a man without kids...from my experience.
Although, I must admit.. I am just becoming single for the first time in many years.. so the game may have changed...lol.. I'm gettin old.
But would also love to hear from women who are ok with a full-time single dad.... we need love too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 6/16/2005 7:42:56 PM | I have to agree with verypicky on this one. My son's father has not seen him in over a year and he won't return any of my calls concerning his son even though he will call him that to other people.
I have also discovered many men with no kids don't get the fact that we are a package and that my son comes first in my life. | |

Posted: 6/17/2005 12:37:28 PM | | Since I became single the relationship with my son has become much better. Previously I had to work longer hours, do all the running around, and just never had enough time in the day to spend with my son. But now that I'm forced to see him right after work and be there for him every minute I'm not at work, it's really helped to make our lives better. We've also started doing more things on the weekends such as festivals, car races, car shows, and camping. We're great by ourselves, but it would be fun for someone to sit next to us on the big yellow slide so we can race them to the bottom! :) | |

Posted: 6/18/2005 12:27:07 AM | I think you are good looking. Anyway single parents are a special group and should be given a better go especially single dads.It is hard to bring kids up on your own but so worth it.
Where I am from there are more and more single dads around now. | |

Posted: 6/18/2005 4:21:34 PM | | Have fun is my advise!I've found that most women can be intimidated by me having my son.I have not let this slowed me down, I wouldn't change the relationship I have with him for anyone.I have meet some wonderful women recently, it will take time.The toughest is what do I tell him about the people I'm seeing and when?? He's a big part of my life and I don't like keeping anything from him, but on the other hand I don't want him to become attached to someone who may not be around long.Your going to meet some great women, and things may look really great, but a lot of women have a problem commiting to a guy who has his kids,not all but a majority.I don't care what any of you women may say, I'm experiencing it for myself.I have heard every excuse from "You don't seem to have time enough for me" to "You care more about spending time with your son than me" and my favorite"I don't want a ready made family"..I'm not letting it deter me, I'm having fun being a father first and I'll let what happens, happen! | |

Posted: 6/18/2005 7:01:27 PM | That works both ways. Men do it to us women as well. If they can't accept that you come with kids well that is their problem. Like you say have fun and the right person will come along. It is hard when you are seeing someone and your child gets attached to them and then it doesn't work out. You just have to there for them and help them understand the best way you can.
I am lucky in respect that my kids are all older and understand what is going on but I am going to be more careful next time after my last relationship. | |

Posted: 6/18/2005 7:57:46 PM | This is a good debate which is nice. I wish I could join in with you. But unfortunately I have joine Plentoffish,Match.com, OkCupid, and others and my total # of dates is 0. Now I read that if I do get a date eventually (0 for this Century) I will find people aren't ready for My son and I. To make matters worse I have 2 that live with their mother. If I wasn't depressed before, I should be now. You say that one will come around. I would like to believe this, however I am having a hard time believing this.
Well good luck to you all. Have a nice day. Maybe my son and I can adopt 15 more cats.
Peace | |

Posted: 6/18/2005 9:11:50 PM | | Single dad here, just wondering why it is hard for women to believe that a father would fight for his child, i fought cause i knew i was the better parent, wish my ex wasnt the way she is but hey thats life, just been getting the feeling that women dont like that a father fought for his child | |
|

Posted: 6/18/2005 11:32:18 PM | Well I think it is great you fought for your child. It could be that some women are old fashioned and think a child should only be with their Mum. Not so in my view. My former husband has one of our children and it was ours sons choice to go with his dad. I don't have a problem with it (mind you I cried for 24 hours) as he is happy and that is what counts.
Really that someone special will come along when the time is right. Keep ya chin and positive thinking. I know it is hard and I should take my own advice but the more positive we are the bigger the chance of it happening. | |

Posted: 6/18/2005 11:57:41 PM | | sweetdad4u, it's not hard to believe, it's just that at one time it was unusual. It's becoming more common now for the fathers to get custody and personally I think that's great. It's what's best for the child, not the gender of the parent that should be taken into consideration. Some women just aren't cut out to be moms, just as some men arent cut out to be fathers. At least now the courts are starting to slowly open their eyes. Years ago, many men didnt fight for their kids, not because they didnt want to but because the courts automatically sided with the mother so what was the point in fighting. We still have a long way to go but things are getting a little better. | |

Posted: 6/19/2005 2:03:58 AM | | Crad if they only want you for your money they are not worth having. I am sure you have not let your son down. You have him and are there for him are you not? All the money in the world does not make a good dad. | |

Posted: 6/19/2005 9:34:21 PM | Guys,
It is true that women seem to avoid us single dads, even if they have kids too. I was talking to a woman I had met online, we each have two kids...we got along great, then she mentioned meeting without the kids because she would be too nervous meeting them. Seemed like she had reservations about getting involved with a guy with kids but we made plans anyway, and next thing you know she doesn't show, doesn't call or respond to my messages. So there you have it, and she wasn't the first to pull this sort of stunt. But you know, if waking up to my son's harmonica at 6:45 am on Father's Day means no dates, then oh well. It sucks to not get a chance to meet that special lady but I'll take that trade any day and just keep trying, although I am getting more pessimistic about dating. | |

Posted: 6/19/2005 10:48:14 PM | Hi there, I'm a single father of a beautiful 10 yr old girl and a part time father of a 5 yr old girl and a 7 yr old boy. They are my life and soul. I live to be around them. I do agree that it's hard finding a woman when you're a single father. I've been trying for some time now and not having any luck. Of course I didn't post a pic on here b/c of my looks. I didn't want to scare anyone off. I don't think it's the looks that matters anyway, it's whats inside that matters. Happy Fathers Day to all you single dads.... keep it real.
Here's a little advice that I live by:
Anyone can be a dad, but it takes a real man to be a FATHER!!!!!!!!!!
If there's any single women around South Central Ky that loves kids email me you won't be disappointed but will have to understand that they are my life and they come first!!!!!!!!!! | |
