Being a Single Parent (325)
Yes, being a single parent is the hardest job in the world. But I don't complain about my baby's father not helping out like he should. I just keep going and move on. I just keep working, right now I'm getting myself in school, trying to find a job, and move. It's too bad that things don't work out the way we want and dreamed, but it's even worse clinging on to the pain of the past. I moved on for my own sake, and my daughter's second.

sweetowen: I left my ex when my daughter was almost 5. I didn't want her growing up to think that men treated women the way her father treated me. I had more self-esteem & self-worth than he gave me credit for. I also wanted her to know that a woman doesn't just stay with a man because she feels he's her superior & has to provide for her & the children.
She & I have a bond that will never be broken! We're like best friends. She calls me all the time, just to talk. We've had our rifts over the years, but we're always there for each other. And I don't love anyone in the world as I do my baby girl... well, and my grandbabies!

Like mother like daughter...
Is she fully objective when it comes to men and is she married/still married...i wonder..

The Mercurial One says that single mums are blessed - especially the good looking ones with a nice smile and good teeth!

X_REBEL: Mhhh...glad you brought it up...does the modern woman from the west deserve a man's respect????
I think the 'Modern' woman and the old fashioned ones from one end of the world to the other DO deserve respect if they have earned it and the same goes to the men.
Me thinks that this thread is giving me a headache for the time being.
for now.------ This thread is Archived ------

Sommerauer71: Yes we do, but don't you think you are generalising a little there?
I have made a good job of my life and I don't have any regrets over my decision to have my children young. I wished at the time my life was different, as I was so young, but it is the only life I knew. Regrets are a waste of emotion and I have had a good life with good people in there, so with me it is a fruitless argument. I have achieved many things, travelled and raised my children alongside their father who has contributed to the young people they are today.
Age and wisdom go along way to enabling us to make alanced decisions, I do that now and I know that my children and I did grow up together. But I had a good strong solid family behind me and while I have had difficulties, I have not come out bitter and twisted about life, completely the opposite.
Which is why your argument is no good with me, because I don't rise to what you see. Although I am happy to discuss with you.

I know your past so if what i say in general to the people out there is not applicable ....ignore me...
I know we cant turn the clock back, but i suppose it would have been nicer for you had you had the perfect relationship from the start and lived happily ever after till you die...
dont we all dream of this?

Yes you have your statement right. In fairness to all the men out there who are active in their children's lives
Sometimes it is not possible to be for some people because their ex may hide or poison the child or whatever.

In response to: 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.
I feel for you, despise dead beat dads and even the ones that pay but have no input into the rearing of their children. Keep the faith and I don't mean religion unless that works for you. I do not believe in many things but sometimes you will be repaid 10 fold when you least expect. Good Luck ------ This thread is Archived ------
X_REBEL: Nothing you can learn this rebel... I always say a healthy debate is one without sparing the feelings of others ...
a debate has no feelings
then it would be an argument
arguments are short and boring
unfortunately lot of emotional baggage here so not alot of conversation just upset
pity
