Sick of the intolerance

Are there really that many single mom's out there that are daddy chasing? Maybe I'm just lucky. My daughter has a father and I'm not trying to replace him. So we are not together, does that make him any less her dad? I'm so sick of all these profiles and blogs that talk about how the man doesn't want a single mom, because he doesn't want to be someone's dad. Jeez... I've managed to raise my daughter for five years without your help. I don't need it now. Isn't this an issue that would come up if you got serious? Not before you even go on one date. I understand that some people don't ever want kids period. That's ok. It just seems like a lot of people on this site are down on single parents. Trust me, it takes a lot to be a single parent. So would a little more respect and a little less bashing be so much to ask? dunno

Oh girl.. I so agree with you! I have two kids that I raise all alone and if I do find a guy.. he wont be required to be "their daddy".. or even play a great role in their lives, at least not until and if we get married.

I have been on this site for a while now and met quite a number of people, none of whom I've gotten serious with, but all of whom seem to accept the fact that I have kids. Some of these guys are also single dads.. one or two even raising their kids themselves.. Havent met anyone yet who has a major issue with my kids.

I do agree though that some people in forums and blogs seem to have little respect for single parents.. but I dont pay them much attention..

Have a great day girl and continue doing what you doing!grin
I'm also a single mom , and dam proud of it...head banger i have a very beautiful daughter, my gift from heaven...no one said being a single parent would be easy...nor is life...i have raised her a long time on my own, but thank goodness for grandparentzz...applause her dad will alwayzzz be her dad, we have not been together for a longtime, but she is the best gift he ever gave me, i am very grateful 2 him for that...but dont me wrong...hate the guy...rolling on the floor laughing but in saying that, yes some men, have preferences not 2 be with women with children..and have a sort of twisted way of looking at relations with women with children..but u know thatz ok,it really is, unforunately, they are missing out on some beautiful packages..but really, there r some really nice men out there that are very accepting and want to part of a family package....and why would they not....teddybear

cheerzz to all us wonderful, beautiful, single parents, of course including single dadzzzzzz.......
cheers

I understand how you feel, however? have you ever thought that many guys cant have children, so they looking to be a dad to otehr peoples, not as a real father but a father figure? I would like to congratulate you in bringing your child up on your own. I have seen how hard it is for single mums, but there are single mums out there who want a dad, for there child/children, so the child can have a dad like figure in ther lives,
Im with ya all the way babe. Do you know how many mature babes there are who are looking to be some kinda surrogate mommy??
Additionally, men who don't seek or date single moms is because some men DON'T wanna be 2nd in at all. Some of us wanna come 1st. I've had a few single moms tell me "well, my kids come first." But when I tell'em "well, my dogs come first," they get an attitude. I've had some tell me "oh well you dont ever have to do anything for my kids & I raise them myself," yet when they're birthdays came around, (to her) I was wrong for not getting them anything. These are the reasons why some men are so INTOLERANT.
totally agree with you..yes, and in saying that, i rescue pups, and my dogss do come first...but it shouldnt be about whose first but it does come down to that, unfortunately, it should be about being one and whole and no competition in a relationship...but i do hear you, i have probably said the same things that u have heard...and i have been shallow...not by intent...more resentment i think cuz of finding it hard at times to be a single mom...had alot of growing up to do...and understanding views of men and how they feel...everyone should be number one...and if u treated less than that..not a good match, anywho..in my books anyways...

yea I'm a single mom too and just got together with a single dad of a 2 yr old. He is wonderful and it shows how responsible he is...just as us single parents are when they get the chance to care for another life. I wanted to look at these crazy blogs one last day. I'm getting off of here. I wish all the single parents the best!lips
I should think that a person who is willingly admitting that they aren't ready to have a child in their life is doing you a favor. dunno

Sure, a lot of those people might be ready if they really looked at it and honestly reconsidered, but then they apparently aren't the type for such introspective adventures- And for those who are, well their opinions stand!

You also have to consider, other than a matter of time or responsibility, per se, the personal commitment they're making as well..

You have a child whom that person is ultimately going to have to share attention and finances with, even if the parent covers all of the 'parent duties' - a child who isn't his/hers. Some people might find that very hard to settle with.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against single mothers in the least. Just saying, even if there are a lot of people who aren't interested in single parents, a lot of them probably DO have justifiable reasons for it.
consider me as ur grandfather
honestly, all i see is bitterness, resentfulness and blame from the previous blogs..and thats ok....its good u all can say how u feel and are albe to self disclose ur past relations u have had or heard about single parents or how u feel about single parents and children....cheers its all ggggggggggg........i totally wish u all the best in ur endeavors.........lips im happy and love who i am...and thank-god for my daughter and all the beautiful men that have been in my life and my daughers...and loves to my man forever..love you babeeeeeeeee.........

<--- prefers a mother. thinks they are more mature and have seen life more than anyone else. nd love kids (as long as they are not his!!) but hasnt met one yet
applause Thank you Sweet_Russian
oops blonde moment...I meant thank you Itscoldinpitts grin
Wow!!! Nothing but respect to all the single mothers. My sister is a single parent so I have nothing but love. As far as daddy chasing, well everybody chasing something right whether its boos..women...men (not me of course) or the all mighty dollar...Euro... Yen...or Won...LOLhead banger
"TOL," the car wreck example about whose really responsible for the damages is a perfect example. A lot of them say we're not responsible for their kids, or having to do anything but wait till birthdays come around or babysitting is needed & you're the only one standing around, or when you come over to see her & the crazy kids' father is hiding in a pair of bushes watching you with binos & you notice a red laser dot on your chest, or when he confronts you & tells you how much you won't filling his spot as a father.....its just too much!
doh omgggggggggg.......guess boys will be boys...doh
I have three kids of my own and i would not blow off or bash a woman if she had 1 child or 5 it wouldn't matter to me
but I myself have been blown off and dumped a few times by women because I have 3 kids but I don't run down anyone because
the way I see it if they cant handle my children it is not
going to work anyway and its for the best .!
