What Does This Mean? Posted: 7/28/2009 9:04:49 AM
I have a friend that I have come to have a lot of feelings for. At one point I asked him if he and I would ever be more than friends and he told me that he didn't see me that way and that he saw me as a good friend. Recently I sent him a text asking him how much he liked me and his response was emensely. How do I take this from someone that only wants to be my friend. I asked him to bring me a drink while I was at work and he took time out of his day to bring me one. Is he just being nice or is there maybe something else there?

Single dad, with 8 year old daughter, upset about mommy. Posted: 2/26/2008 12:44:27 PM
I have to tell you that I can understand what your daughter is going through. When I was three my mother left me as well. It was very hard for me wondering why she just up and left one day. Now with that said, I did however have a father that was very manipulating. So he was able to remarry and I had a stepmom that I will always love forever. She is my mom. I do however talk to my biological mother. With that being said, if you notice you're daughter tearing up and upset it would be a good idea to sit and try to talk to her about what is wrong. Even if you know what it may be. I am a single parent as well and I have six kids that I'm raising on my own. For your daughter to be reassured that you understand that she is upset and that if you could, you would try to have things different for her but it is out of your control. If she comes to you and wants to talk about her mom, keep in mind that you shouldn' t talk badly about her. Your relationship and your daughters relationship with the mom will be different. If you talk ill mannered about her mom your daughter may become defensive and that is when she won't open up to you. Just let her know it's ok to cry when she is upset like that and that you can understand why she is so sad. Do you have a sister or any female friends that wouldn't mind taking her places so she doesn't feel left out of the mommy thing. I don't believe she would feel left out this way. Thanks Fawna

6 and still wetting the bed Posted: 2/14/2007 2:02:42 AM
I really don't think you have anything to worry about. I have a daughter that is almost nine and she still has what I call accidents. She is also a very deep sleeper. My son was about nine before he quit wetting the bed as well. The only explanation that doctor could give me was that they grew faster than their insides did. My children are quite tall and grew quickly. However with that being said, if you were to put the pull ups on her then I think the laziness would take affect. Just be patient and it will quit eventually and hopefully quickly.

Why is it so hard for women to accept a single older dad? Posted: 2/8/2007 12:53:35 AM
actually i take offense to what you said. If you think you have such a problem with trying to find someone to date when you have only one child then imagine what i go through with having six kids and being a single parent. As for what I take offense to is you stereotyping what women should look like. I am a larger woman but i'm not ugly as you so put it. It could be a bit of your attitude as well. NOT ALL WOMEN HAVE TO BE THIN TO BE WORTH SOMETHING IN A MANS EYES. And if you think that we don't have feelings too you are mistaken. I'm sure you are not perfect either.

Why are men scared off when a woman mentions a large family. Posted: 5/9/2006 12:00:21 PM
for your information I have been separated now from my husband for over 2 years now. We were together for 12 out of 14 years. Its not like i'm sleeping with a bunch of men ( thank you very much ). I was in a committed relationship that went downhill very fast and not because of me. He turned into an addict and I will not have that for myself or my children. I am drug free and plan on keeping it that way. So before you give an opinion that you know nothing about maybe you should check first.

I am a single mom with six kids. I have empathy for the other mothers on here that have two or three or four kids that find it hard to find someone that will accept her kids as well. Being that i am a mom with six kids it really scares men off. So many times now i've heard that i'm a nice person and that they've had a really nice time ...............BUT you don't have an athletic body or you have too many kids or something else. I have to let this be known. Even when I get slim or skinny my attitude won't change. I find that there are too many shallow men in this life and women that state that the only women men find attractive are athletic or slim women. All I have to say is open your eyes guys. If you're willing to let shallowness be a part of your life then you will never know the awesome women that you could be having a relationship with.

Children in your bed Posted: 3/2/2006 10:12:35 AM
hi there this is my view on kids in bed with the parents. I have six kids my oldest is 17 and on the very rare occasion he will sleep with me but we have our own blankets. Like i said on the very rare occasion. I think that when kids are scared or cant sleep or just need to feel safe that it is fine for them to sleep with me. I mean come on I'm 36 and when I go to visit my mom she and I share the same bed is that wrong too. No it isn't. For me when my kids sleep with me and just last night I had three of them in my bed a 3 yr old a 5 yr old and a 7 yr old. I have been separated for two years now and i think that there are times when they need to be reassured that I'm not going anywhere and that they just want to be close to me. It is not an every night occurrance for if it was then they would be told that they can make a bed on the floor by my bed as well.

Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 2/27/2006 2:37:34 PM
You know i have a friend that states she will never find someone because she has three kids as well. I think you women have a better chance of finding someone to love you and your kids and wanting to take on the responsibility of your family. I'm in a little bit of a different situation than you ladies out there. I have six children and yes i said six. I have seen the results in just talking to men and mentioning that i do have that many. They run they won't even talk to me on the phone. It is almost like they think that I have some deadly disease or something. I love my kids dearly and I don't feel that any person with children should feel like their children are the "problem" to getting into another relationship. My motto is this, If they cant get by the fact that i have six kids and try to get to know me then that is their loss not mine. Keep your heads up. It all works out in the end.

what do u think of a single dad... Posted: 2/27/2006 2:21:42 PM
Honestly I know how you feel. I'm a single parent as well but my problem is the amount of children that I have. If it was me, I would not run away from a single father in fact i would rather prefer a single father. He has been through things that single guys haven't.
