I've dated a single mom before and I'd do it again. I'm a father myself, so I know a bit about the kid thing.

As for the single dads in Wisconsin? I couldn't say, I'm in PA ;)

I am single but not a dad.

I look at things like this, all relationships take adjustments.

If a man married a woman and she had no kids. Would he upon her having a child leave her.

If he does he is not worth having.

Since I would not leave her, then why can I not love and marry a woman with children.

If a man can marry a woman and they become family. Why can't a man love the children and they be family also.

The woman and the kids are both not his blood. So whats the difference.

I agree that dating a "single Dad" would be easier, since he knows where you are coming from... so where are the single Dads in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area?!

Whether the guy is isngle, or single dad...Makes no difference...My kids come first. If you are aware of what it takes to raise kids with or without issues, all the better. If not, maybe learning a bit about it would be a good idea...
There does have to be adult time. Depending on the ages, situation of the kids...some of us might not have babysitters, childcare, or family to help out...So, as Nice said abive, an adjustment..figuring it out...

i am a single dad and i understand about children but as said adult time is also important but in moderation...


I just had a week and off and got my son for a whole week it was great every day was an adventure...

:)

would never not consider a woman because she had children in fact it would make me feel better as she understands about a great many things single women without children do not.....

hmmmm math

It makes me smile to read when you all have adventured with the kids..The need it so much. More so nowdays, I feel...
I thiink for single women (no kids), it might be that it is a huge decision just to have kids to begin with...biology...Then, what it really takes to raise your own or anothers' kids...it is a very big step. dunno if I'm explaining this well, still early, lol.

One ay last week while having lunch in a courtyard, 4 girls under 18 were having a conversation right acreoss from me discissing the pros and cons of having babies, "it'll give me something to do..." other remarks heard at the higher than normal converstion level, was "oh, don't woory about money, welfare will pay for your rent and shit..." "Well, I'm gonna have mine in about seven months..." "Oh come on, it'll be fun, we can still have parties..." :who needs him around, he's just a loser anyway..." blah, blah, blah and on it went til their joints were done and they all agreed to go look at baby clothes....such is the attitudes of fill-in your own term/s...yuk!

omg, are you serious!? =-0 No shit?

If I'd have heard that, boy oh boy, I'd have had a say...That makes me furious ]-/

I gotta go out...My heads gonna explode if I keep thinking on all the crap...

sickening.

oh, you would not believe some of the tings one hears while quietly haing a lunch and trying to read....some of the women also sitting there just stared, stunned and shook their heads....future "mothers' of future children...

whats really sad about it is that single moms that work and still live with their parents like me are strugging to make it and we cant get our own place and the gov. doesnt pay for anything. I find it sick to think that others having babies in their teens feel that way about our gov. that we as people pay taxes to help fund gov. help for those who choose not to keep their legs closed LOL

it's a condition that permeates everywhere and some countries almost went bankrupt over it and have had to stop almost all forms of assistance, even up here with all the cutbacks on all social programs, these attitudes are only growing....and the Govt.'s are still paying out to these "young-single mothers"...there are a few "housing projects" where the tennants are over 70% "young single moms"...and the kids are everywhere....dirty to fithy and many overweight from all their junk garbage food diets...and the beat goes on.....

yes they are and the ones that try to help themselves are only stuck out. most of the single moms that do get help dont and wont even try to help themselves and teach their children that the gov. owes them a living with we all know is not true.

I was a single man at 28,with a daughter from a previous.I met a single mom with a son of 4 yrs old,I ended up married to her for 10 years>took care of her,and her son,me and her son became great friends,we are divorced now,but not only is her son truely one of my best friends ever! he is my son also,and I love him very much!I just wanna know if any women will date me period! moral of the story--------------------if you Love someone,you Love them for them,all they are,and all they have!regardless!

Hi lisa; i have dated single women before; doesn't bother me in the least.

Here's a little twist... my children are almost grown, I'm soon to be single because of the pressures of having taken my grandchildren (adoption) to raise. It puts an unbelievable stress on a relationship... Here I am 40+ and still raising babies. I sometimes get the feeling I'll be raising kids until someone puts me into a nuring home. I love them all very much but.... I wonder about the future sometimes.

The majority, of the men my age, I've talked to don't want young children. Right now, I'm not looking for a soul mate, but I would like to find someone that doesn't talk baby talk to converse with to bring some sanity and mature conversations into my life.

you and me both my friend ,lol

Cheer up, Tanzer, you are not alone. I too still have a teenaged son at home and will have him here always because he is handicapped.

I have found friends here on this site, men and women to talk to, men who I flirt with and consider my friends. Many of them have children and responsibilities that they consider THEIR top priority.

A soul mate is always possible, but friends are worth their weight in gold!

I would. the only way I might not, is if she has multiple children from multiple fathers.... doesn't speak highly of her character.

it takes a strong woman to be a single mom. much respect for all of them.

Thanks for the encouragement, it's nice to know I'm not alone.
