when i go through womens profiles here, havin a peek and seein who's out there, i see an awful lot of single mothers..

just wonderin, (single mothers) is online dating something that appeals to you because you can't get out as much anymore? obviously being a mother has a lot of responsibility and your time is not so much your own anymore, or is online dating just another avenue you would take even it you didnt have children??

just curious...

well now!!!


before I was a mum i would never have been on a dating site. Its just something that i never thought of as I could go to pubs and clubs whenever i wanted... now as a single mum I find it great because I dont get out that much there is never really an opportunity to go out and chat someone up so now i can do it in the comfort and safety of my own home..

My child is my first priority so it means i can get chatting online and get to know alot more about someone before i take a leap and go on a date..


although i have found that alot of men on here have a problem with dating single mums and that is there choice but i think they think we are looking for a "daddy figure" for our child which is not the case at all and for that they rule us out.. we are here to find someone just as much as everyone else..

I went out with a single mum with 2 kids before and they started calling me daddy,
I suppose i didnt mind but i told them they new who their daddy was, Amyway relationship broke up not because of her kids at all,

In fact i miss her kids more than i would miss her dunno

well u would have to think about her kids, imagine a person is in their lives for a year and a half, (bearing in mind they were 3 and 4 year olds) and then suddenly u break u with their mam, That has to have an effect on the kids dunno

Id be wary abit too but it depends. Im a single dad so i can understand a bit more. I wouldnt have a problem with it but if the person had 2 or more children then it would be a different story alltogether.

From the other point of view there are a lot of single dads on here as well. It wouldn't put me off him but wouldnt like his kids calling me mammy. Nooo.

firstly, if i fell in love with someone, then it wouldnt matter who what or anything about her..

however, im wary of gettin involved with single mothers for two reasons...

one.. i would hate to get involved, get attached to the kid/s and then for it to fall apart and break up.. that is always a risk when u get into a relationhsip but i would not want to be a person who would cause children any pain or suffering.. i can only imagine how they would feel if someone knew came into their lives and after a year or two, they were gone again...

secondly... i would much prefer to meet someone who i can start a family with from scratch... this is just a personal preference, and not a judgement on anyone.. but like i said, if i fell in love, then her havin kids would not be a problem, but i would always be extra cautious about gettin involved with a single mother..

gorrestfump: i wasnt juding single mothers at all.. was merely asking a question to single mothers...

in fact, i have nothing but admiration for women (and men) who have to raise their children without a partner..




i didnt say you were ,

professor interesting question

i probably wouldnt be on this site if i was single because my life would be in a very different place.... me thinks infact id be living in america

but i have 5 children two of whom still require my mothering services full time
and professor maybe some of the women on here with children is because the fathers sheirked their responsibilities
so we get left with all the responsibility and we take it seriously ( watch the avalanche of attacks at this thought) and i am not saying men dont get a raw deal with regard to custody etc because they do
but my experience is a lot of women get left holding the baby

but maybe thats not what u meant

if you have children they have to be ur priority so therefore it is unlikely you will have a fantastic social life unless u have a wonderful mum or family to keep taking ur children while u go off galalvanting

and there is the crux of it

we think it is galavanting and we feel guilty so we stay at home and spend what time we have with our chislers and put ourselves on hold

or

use a site like this to have a bit of a life, and laugh and make friends and maybe even find dare I say it love but our children come first

maybe

a thread should follow how u introduce ur children to ur male dates

never
at some point
only when ur ready to take things a step further ( he's movin in or ur moving out)

some thoughts teddybear for u gorrestfump


cool
