Unfortunately this happens all to often. I have one little girl and although I do not need a Dad for her and am not even looking for a spouse, men run. On the other side it divides the men from the wimps. One day we may meet a real man of character.
wixomwizard: I agree! I think it takes a special person, man or woman, to accept and take on the responsability of raising someone elses child/children. A child is better off without someone who does'nt want to be bothered with them. That is why I hate and detest divorce/death, if there are children involved, they are the innocent ones who suffer the most.
...........Well said,Good Sir........and so true on your statement 'The innocent ones who suffer the most' ........
hi mnowsa, try singleparents.ie its a good site and have made some good male and female friends on the site...thanks for that and yeah more of a future with that site...try it and let me know....
jvaski: I'm a single man with a cat ......and all women run from me .......so, you see we're all in the same boat......
HAHAHA....YA, THATS COOL!
Na Deisecat! dont pay attention for that! I am a single parent too. Dont let the negative thinking be your stone problem! You just need to BELIEVE that you will find the good one. If the other left you, you HAVE to convince your self, you are not belong him (It means YOU ARE FREE TO FIND ANOTHER!). Besides, what is the meaning if the man is good for you but not for YOUR CHILDREN. Thats why they are runaway....COZ they not good for your children!
HotrodLarrys: I think the #1 Problem is we see no pic of you, so it is like looking at s cartoon pic, How is a man Going to get to even like you, if he cant see that YOU are real, when yo work that out the wonder about the Kids, but first worry about a Face, and i dont mean this rude, Really but No Frigging was i would ever consider someone I cant even see, You could be a Friken Man, How do I kno??????? Now do you see what i mean????
mnowsa: i think there should be a network where single parents with kids would be able to connect to each other much more reliably and positive effect.
Mulberry4000: erm so you chosed to be a single mother, erm what about your children they did nto choose to be with dad. What about the father, does he see them, or do you stop him or does he not care. In general i stay away from women who have kids, because its a nightmare, the guy always ends up loosing, esp with her kids etc then u have the ex to deal with. Its just not worth it. Men who come into a ready made family are always going to be the outsider. But most important of all, if a woman said she became a single parent by choice i would head for the hills. As a man it would be her saying i will dump any time i wish and if i have child with you, your role or the childs emotion play second fiddle to mine. I wish western women would wise up and realise that there is billions of women out there in the world who are not like this and would not dream becoming a single parent on their own.
Children need fathes, you may not need a man but your children does.
If this how you think then you cannot really complain that man are not talking to you. best wishes

what if the woman says "come here and give me a Kiss"? Or is that to demanding for you?
somechick: Some men just aren't cut out to be dads or really don't want to raise another mans children.Just like some of us women.
The package just doesn't work for many of us. We're not running, we're just not that interested in the package... it's not our fault, we didn't "do it". Well I haven't at any rate.

Question is, where are all the single men who have had children with other women and why aren't they more interested in dating single mom's like yourself? It can't be just 1 guy going around getting all you gal's pregnant!

Witchaywoman: There are plenty of single fathers out here too. Try them. Also, men always scream, "No kids! No dogs! No cats! No THis! No That! No nothing ever! We're gonna live in an empty white box shaped apartment and you will be my maid!" Um, WRONG. A lot of them crack and cave in eventually, don't they?
Not soo. I reckon more good men out there than good women not exactly an official statistic but most know how the western world works.

I'm really shocked that you ask this.
Tell me a parent; even if the kids are hellions; that don't think their kids are angels and brilliant.
1. First of all you and the kids are a package deal but then you say you don't see the problem because they have a dad; very contradictory.
The new guy still has to deal with it. And if you ever get serious or married he cant' be a dad; he has to financially help to support them but he's in the background.
2. if you get serious the new guy has little or no say in discipline, religion, and many other things. The guy just has to sit there even if he doesnt' agree since he's not their kid. I teach and there are a whole lot of spoiled kids and parents that drug their kids for ADHD instead of disciplining them.
3. The new guy is second in everything. When I date I like to be spontaneous and do what I want. If kids are involved they come first; school functions, sickness, other things; they are the focus and the new guy is secondary.
4. Many women are terrible at choosing someone to have children with; there are a lot of single women who marry; or just have kids with loser guys; this brings a whole lot of responsibility to the new person and a lot of conflict with the guy especially if they are flaky.
I'm absolutely stunned that you think there is something wrong with a guy reluctant to date someone with kids; kids are a HUGE deal;
