Posted: 7/14/2005 12:59:54 PM | Good point Hambone. I do that too. After seeing someone and you meet the kids and they're friggin maniacs it's pretty obvious that the parent might not be such a good catch.
But hey ladies, most do a bang up job, and I know it's a rough job. At times I have no idea how you all can do it. | |

Posted: 7/14/2005 1:32:14 PM | We single mom's or not single mom's know we have one of the most important jobs (shaping and guiding a little human being without the support of a man can be challenging)Our children are our future and what we give of ourselfs is what we will get in return, It is so nice to hear it from an unselfish, mature gentleman.
I truly appreciate your words.
I think the same of single fathers,I have great respect for a man who devotes his life to raising his children.
Thank you | |

Posted: 7/14/2005 1:45:46 PM | I am a real good, successful single mom. I mean I have raised a good kid.
Despite her teen-aged attitudes and behaviours, gothic clothing, and sudden
mood changes, she cares to learn and thinks about her future. She studies
hard and has always brought shiny school reports home. No, she is not
ugly at all. She is one very beautiful young woman who is constantly being
motivated and cared for through her mother. Her single mom, me. | |

Posted: 7/14/2005 1:58:16 PM | | I've always been rather amazed at single Mom's. I've always said I give full marks to any woman in this situation. Can you imagine a man, raising a child or more, holding down a job and trying to fit in a social life.....I can't...... | |

Posted: 7/14/2005 8:53:51 PM | | @all about laughs... Thank you and it's nice to hear that some guys view us single moms as sexy, undamaged and worth seeing "what she's all about". I've been a single mom for many years and have managed to raise a great kid, keep a fulltime job, be a good role model, a good provider and support for all endeavors....and will continue to do so. | |

i went for my break and my friend said wow ****** u look so tired
i don't know how u do it alone..and this kid prolly no more then 19 said oh god u ppl think being a single mom is so hard u act like we owe u some thing..and i looked at him and was like i do every thing on my own i even sit on a bus every day for an extra 60 min's because my younger son is at a differant daycare and the busses suck... how do i get every thing ...
and he said well look u sity at work while the day care raises ur kids...OMG!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA PUNCH HIM!!
BUT INSTEAD I said well maybe i'll go on welfare and u can suport us ok..

Posted: 7/15/2005 4:26:04 AM | ^ Well, what can I say, that's how 19 year old kids think. It's still all black and white...you remember that age too I'm sure.
Anyway, I really should have read the first posting because now I have no clue what I'm commenting on but whatever it is single moms get my salute. Come to think of it, I think the vast majority of women I've dated have been single moms. Well, sheeeyat....you're all rockers to me.
Just a side note though....please, oh please, single moms need to know this : We KNOW your children come first and that's not only understandable but , well frankly, if they didn't I know I wouldn't date ya. But when you put it in your profile in big bold capital letters followed by twenty exclamation marks, it really says (to me anyway) "You can never be important to me because my children come first and you'll be out on your ass in a second if you ever want something that conflicts with what they want" I know that that's not the goal but that's the result. I'm not trying to tell people how to write their profiles, just trying to offer up some FYI you may not have heard before. | |

I don't know if you realize it or not but that was rather offensive. I can think of a lot of men like that starting with my own father.
I'm not bashing you here, just pointing out that that wasn't a very well thought out statement.
OT: Single moms rock. | |

Posted: 7/19/2005 2:25:39 PM | Well, the way I figure it, if a man is not going except the fact that i'm a single mom, then he's not worth my time dating. I wouldn't care if he was drop dead gorgeous, yes my little boy comes first, and well he should. I will put down in most profile that i'm a single mom. Any male with hallf a brain should know that until that child(ren are 18, he/she is the mom's responibility, but it looks like most LasVegas males can't seem to understand that, even the single fathers. I miss good old hometown males like those in Indiana . Most male there and in the surrounding states don't seem to mind single mom's wanting to spend time with their kids. My new Army male friend is a divorce father himself of an 8 year old; and waiting to har if hear if he is being transfered to Fort chucacha in Yuma, Az, so we can finally meet in person. He wants to be a good father figure to my Dakota, maybe because his own father is so immature at 27 year old, and doesn't even know how to treat his child's mother right even. Oh well, like the saying goes there are plenty of fish in the sea. Mine fish may have came in, but we shal see!  : | |

Posted: 7/19/2005 3:00:14 PM | i love being a mom. if a guy doesn't dig it, well that's his beef right. i think if a guy has an issue with it, he best just stay clear of the gals that are single parents. don't cause headaches by "shoplifting the punani"
you feel me? | |

Posted: 7/19/2005 3:58:03 PM | | That's very sweet. Personally, I work hard at being both mom and dad, and as much as I love being a mom, it sucks being the bad guy all the time and carrying the whole load to be honest. It's nice to get a compliment sometimes. | |

| Single moms...
Posted: 7/19/2005 4:56:28 PM | The other way around I believe hats off should go to you for saying such sweet things about single moms. We all work hard at doing the right thing sacrificing everything for the little hearts that walk amoung us.
Bless your heart
Thanks | |

Posted: 7/19/2005 4:56:39 PM | It is nice to hear that not all men are against single moms! I love my babies sooo much, and no guy out there seems to understand that they will always come first.
Thanks for letting me know there are SOME real men out there. | |

Posted: 7/19/2005 6:58:44 PM | Thanks for the cowboy hat.... I miss the Stampede and hope that I'll be heading back there one day.
But back on topic.... Women naturally wear many hats. What I mean is that we are nurses, social workers, maids, accountants, fashion consultants, teachers, disiplenarians, and gormet chefs... and that's all in the home. We also hold jobs outside of that. But that's just what we do, or the majority do.
For example, I am a single parent and I get zero support from my ex with the two kids. One has been diagnosed with ADHD. Given that, I am in University full time getting my honours degree, working part time to pay for what osap doesn't cover, raising my children to be careing citizens and yet I still try to add a social life with that. And unfortunately the social life tends to take the back burnner most of the time, but I feel that some things are worth the sacrifice..... drinking and dancing with friends or playing board games and eating pop corn with the kids..... it's a no brainer to what a mom would choose, at least one with a busy life. (for those that are still wondering... she choses the board game with the kids)
It's nice to know that the efforts we put in are valued, and I can tell that you are an out standing guy to even mention it. I hope my son has the same views as you when he's a teen. I'd hate to think what type of rebelion he would be if he didn't.
And since I'm still standing on this soap box.... Can I say I think it's a harder job to do the job that I have described above and being a man, then it is to be a woman.... I think it's harder because of social stereo types and expectations of the men in our society. I think it's easier for the women to get help then for the men, and I hope that changes.
So I to recap my long winded speech, I thank you for the hat "all about laughs" and I raise my beer to the single dads CHEERS | |
