Posted: 8/24/2009 7:56:34 PM | | It seems to me that there are more and more single dads out there. what I find amazing is what we had to go through to be a single dad. I dont think woman understand it. I dont know about any other states. but in fl I had to prove my ex to be incompitent and it cost me dearly. Mind you I wouldnt change a thing and I love my girls. Going through that made me a better parent. So often the woman of the relationship are given the children even if the father is more stable and I dont mean finances. but more suitable because of emotional stability and a better support group"family" or what ever. Any woman out there that doesnt want to date a man because he has children is missing out because he had to do everything just right to have his kids. | |

Posted: 8/28/2009 7:04:15 PM | Single parents need to date someone in their same lifestyle.
Non parents just don't get it.
I'm *not* saying we're better or worse or deserve any kind of special consideration or treatment. There's obviously some relationships out there like this, but I'll be damned if I know of any. | |

Posted: 8/30/2009 11:03:05 AM | I was just reading through a bunch of the posts on here and I am also a full time single father of three beautiful kids 13 year old girl 10 year old girl and a 7 year old boy....
And I find dating to be a bit of a challenge! At least on the wesy coast of Canada... It feels like when ever I date a woman that the kids are not any issue at first but seem to become one after the fact.... I am not looking for a mom to replace there mom I am looking for that someone who understands and accepts me for me and all the good and bad that goes along with it....
My Kids are my kids forever and I love them with all my heart! | |

Posted: 9/19/2009 12:17:00 AM | I have to say that I have a great deal of respect for any man that is willing to step up and take on the responsibility of being a full time dad. And to be quite honest I am far more interested in dating a full time single father than a part time single dad. The reason I say this is because I value my kids and my time with them. Some men that do not have the kids living with them have a hard time accepting that the kids are a priority. Men that are raising their children usually seem to have an understanding of the amount of time and energy goes into raising these bundles of joy. Also the men that do not have their kids full time have more time on their hands and seem to expect us to have the same amount of time and do not understand why we can not spend more time with them.
I hope this makes sense and I do not mean to knock you part time dads. It is not about how much you care for your kids it is about understanding where we as single full time moms are coming from.
So to those of you men raising your children full time, I salute you. | |

Posted: 9/20/2009 7:56:53 AM | | hey yall im a single full time dad of my 2. 4 yr old boy and 3 yr old girl. ill admit this is very hard but im sorry every day my kids can make me laugh and i love just being able to see them when they wake up in the morning. dating is by far the hardest thing im coming across right now but i atribute that more to the fact that the girls around my age just tend not to be interested in single full time fathers and single moms my age are usually taken already so yeah oh well ill just cost on that shore but in the mean time ill have tickle fights with my kids lol | |

Posted: 9/20/2009 6:15:01 PM | See this is what the single moms don't like, that we single dads raising our kids get applause and they get put down. We appreciate it greatly but the single mos need it too.   | |

Posted: 9/20/2009 7:38:33 PM | | I prefer a single dad. They already understand how it is. Why i am so busy, why i would prefer to stay home and watch Dora than go out and get drunk. The men that i have dated without kids, never understood. My kids are most important to me, and if you dont understand that then you arent worth my time. | |

Posted: 9/20/2009 9:36:07 PM | | I have read alot of women saying right on and congradulations but i have also read alot of single guys saying the women like to run from them because of the kids. I myself have 2 speacial needs boys and have full custody since the ex decided that the kids where cramping her style and walked away from them . she sees them once in the month and thats about it . I have had women give the reason because the kids and have had some want to stick around with no problems till there girlfriends change there minds from peer presure . All i can say is right on guys as the kids are all speacial and the right female will come along in time . or at least I keep getting told that at least. | |

Posted: 9/20/2009 10:22:27 PM | I think anyone who is a single parent is the best people to be around, because you already know that they care about others then themselves.
I am a single mom of a 6 year old boy. I think he looks after me more sometimes.
Everyone was a kid once so I can't understand why you wouldn't want to be without one. lol I love my son more then life it's self.
And an answer to iwonder06 peer pressure is over when high school ends,
Then it's just time to make your own decisions in life.
She was just a follower not a leader, If I lived close to you, you wouldn't need to look any further, but yes she will come along, thats what I keep telling myself... yes he will be along any time now..... | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 2:24:23 PM | Never in a million years think that at my age I'd be a single parent...without an ex to pick-up some of the slack...let alone be on a dating site looking for new love....gad...life and it's funny twists and turns...
and yet, my relationship experience, in this new chapter of life, has been that women start out thinking that children would be nice....end up deciding that their children are almost out of the home, and they don't wish to do it again....and quite frankly I find this hypicrotical...were the shoe on the other foot they would be hell bent on distruction!!! | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 3:32:05 PM | | my girls are 10 and 4. i love every moment i spend with them, if i could i would keep them awake to play all night ( not really but you all know what i mean)their mum was not a good mum and they are better off without her. my oldest sometimes asks me mum questions and they are both very loving girls, at weekends we snuggle up on the sofa and watch cartoons and kids movies together. we have just the greatest of times and i have the most amazing memories and absolutely unparalleled relationships with my little princesses. my point is, what is any absent parent thinking? do they really understand what they are missing? guys ( and gals.... you all know who you are....!) you better do something about your kids, they are not kids for long.... | |

Posted: 9/28/2009 11:09:59 PM | | I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter. She is the only thing in life that truely matters in life. I never thought I wanted kids before she was born. She changed my life and I'm a better man because of her. I'm proud of what I've become because of her. It can be tough to date because I make it so clear that she is #1 for me and will ALWAYS be. Dating and everything else is secondary. | |

Well, it's one thing for a woman to have sex with a man because he has a nice smile. There is nothing wrong with that. However, it is quite another thing to decide to have a child based on something so superficial, not that I actually think many women choose the fathers of their children based on such things.
It is true, however, that many women do not choose wisely when choosing men with whom to have children. In some circumstances, it may not be the man himself that is wrong, but the circumstances under which he becomes a father. For example, being forced into fatherhood can turn even the most calm, compassionate, responsible, loving man into an angry and resentful person. | |

Posted: 10/1/2009 9:37:31 PM | Half Custody of my 3 year old daughter. Her Mom never gets her when it's her time, i end up with her about 85% of the time and I Love it! Nothing like my time with her. She Rocks! Too Bad most women run like the****ns when they find out about her. I find the single moms around here are the worst- most don't want to spend time with Their own kids, must less someone else's!! Its pretty pathetic.  | |

Posted: 10/26/2009 7:31:10 PM | I am a full time single father, by full time, I mean full time. Most days i'm exhausted when I get up, and still have trouble keeping on top of it all. But, I wouldn't trade it, I have been raising my son alone since he was 2. He is 9 1/2 now, does it get easier, yes, but not yet. Tonite I am learning how to be a seamstress, makes a costum for all saints day for school....don't have a clue what I'm doing. Do most women run when they find out I'm a single father, oh yeah. I have actually been told before that they would be interested, but they are looking for someone to help with their kids, but not ready to raise someone elses....so it goes.
Is being a single parent a huge sacrifice, no, its a huge responsiblity. Right now I work about 10hrs a day at one job, trying to start up my own buisness, and raise my son,as well as all the other daily tasks that come with it all. Single parents, pat yourself on the back once in a while. we all deserve it. | |
