Being a Single Parent (325)
AutumnFierce: I think being a single parent is one of the hardest things. I dont think we get enough credit, its not hard enough to be a women but now Im a single mom because my daughters father can't grow and MAN up. It sucks. and its just not fair. He gets to walk away with no problem and act like he never met us and I am stuck here trying to do the best I can and it seems like its never the best for my Beautiful Daughter.. Does anyone else feel me on single parenting? It's hard, stressful and exhausting. Im hoping to meet some nice people on this website. local people so we can hangout. :)PEACE.
It is hard and not going to be any easier.
No one owns us a credit for being single parents, though.
It's unfair and it hurts when a family falls apart and there is a little one you have to answer to. I do know.
The best of luck to you to find love. But be careful. Your child is your main obligation now.

It doesn´t have to be "hard, stressful or exhausting". You are in a position to have a very special relationship with your daughter as I had with mine... a relationship where you are a team. The important thing to remember is to not allow your own feelings about her dad color her feelings about him, or men in general. I know it´s difficult when a parent bails out and leaves you holding the bag... but you are the lucky one, you get the joy and love of raising her. It´s a wonderful experience... mine is 27 now and just got married to a fantastic man who she has been with for 9 years. I believe a part of her successful relationship is the fact that I provided her with good male role models since her dad wasn´t around.
Stop stressing and start enjoying... raising a child is the most wonderful experience you will ever have!

..........Whoa....I was a single Father,to a wonderful daughter and a wonderful Son...and I will tell you right now....Being a Good parent is the toughest Job in this whole wide world,but the most rewarding one as well.......and a sad fact is..... 'Life is not Fair'.....accept that,and move on with your Life...and sorry to say this...Don't wallow in 'Self Pity'....its not going to get you anywhere in Life...and in most cases it will scare people away....take care,be safe....and don't lose faith or confidence in yourself...you seem to be a very sincere and a very genuine Lady.

I'm ok with being a single mom. When my husband died in an automobile accident (after 21 years of marriage) I had no choice but to become stronger! My children depended on me and giving into moments of weakness was never an option for me. I'm fortunate in that I have a wonderful as well as stable job that I love. Our healing began with a wonderful christian grief counselor, weekend getaways and starting new traditions... We hang on to old traditions that belonged to "that" family... but now:
If my son wants to go fishing... I take him. When my daughter got married last summer, my then 11 year old son and my father walked her onto the beach for her sunrise wedding...
Life isn't always easy, but for the most part it's not because I'm a single parent... It's mostly because I'm lonely. I miss having a true love parter.

being a single parent is hard but its also amazing and fullfilling, dont look at the bad sides everything has a bad side enjoy ur children love them they need you and the other things will sort themselves out in the end.
ive beena single parent for 16 yrs, through all the hard times the struggle was worth it, always look to the posatives it helps u get through the times u wish u had suppot, but enjoy and do the best u can.

mom though i do see him every other weekend.....but I love
having my oldest live with me as we are two peas in the same pod....brings back memories of how i was when I was 16.....and yes it does make dating harder, but then again i know my priorities & my boys come first....I can live with that

I agree with you 100%, your words are SO TRUE...so similar to my experience as well, only my Daughter is only 19 but the Happiest girl alive, I also agree, that the only one who loses is the Dad in the end.
WE get the Joy of Raising them and seeing the way they grow up in every single way!
Cheers to you!!!! and to the rest of us Women who Raise kids alone!

Sorry if I have a different veiw on this subject, it is something I know a little about......Personally you sound pretty jaded, and are kinda looking for a little pitty party.... But I look at it this way, I had and still mostly have all the blessing, that she may never now rarely gets to enjoy. And it has made me become a better person and straighten my life up more so then I would of if my daughter had not come along...So though yes, you are right it takes a toll on you physically and definitely mentally... That's life, just think about people years ago, they had it alot worse off, because there weren't all the modern conveinces that we all now take for granted...when it comes to raising kids...JMO I do wish you the best of luck though...

No matter how you look at this...raising kids takes time and money...both things you loose and could have spend on yourself. Things never are the same(or at least for the next 21 years) after having them. You do have to share the prime of your living years with them. You get the joy of raising them and see themm grow up...but don't forget the "joy" of growing old whilst this happens...
Women should think twice before they open their legs and maybe they'd be better off...

I haven't experienced that but i can say just seeing my colleague at work talking about it, i get stressed out just by listening, all the things they have to do and plan.
My heart is with u, and hope u meet a nice person who will be there for u all the way.
I believe that your sweet little daughter is worth it.

I sense a bit of hostility and that is fair enough. I am sure we all thought at some time or another we would like to escape but My son has brought me more joy than I could ever have imagined.On the flip side, although I was a single parent, my ex husband and father to my son made many more sacrifices (I think) because he had him on the weekend so I don't know how he managed a social life.
I think we BOTH did a damn good job--although not perfect.
