Do single parents have a disadvantage (17)
pilotpupcork, Cork Ireland1 Threads 9 PostsHi all, just wondering....i'm a single male parent to a wonderful 3 year old, she lives with her mum for 4 days and me for 4, etc etc, i am proud of my daughter and mention her on my profile as i 1. am not ashamed or feel she is holding me back and 2.i believe in honesty. My question is...would it deter you if you saw that there was kid/s involved? be it male or female single parents? would love to hear ye're thoughts

Your character, for those who have the wisdom to see it, will be shown in your relationship with your child.
If someone doesn't want you because of your child then consider yourself lucky to not have them in your life.

Your so right, my relationship with my daughter is paramount, and will always be that way! but on the other hand i don't use her as a platform or a tool to get what i want or need through life, thanks medsummer, great words

You are a lucky man to be blessed that way;
Come on though; of course you feel that way; you should feel that way. But I do think though single parents are not very sensitive to the other side.
All of my friends say the same thing. When you have a kid, they become your life. Well if I'm single, would I rather be with someone that doesnt' have kids so the relationship can be the focus, or with a single mom with all the drama of the ex's, and taking a back seat to the child.
Would I date a single mom? yes if it was in the right situation. But if you eventually marry someone then you have to take on all the responsibility of parenting, financial situations, and then in reality have little or no say so in religion, discipline, schooling, etc....
I think everyone has a choice and I respect those that will be in both situations. Thats where communication and having an understanding fit in.
Kids are huge responsibilities and

It would not put me off from dating them. I do think thought that I would take the relationship slower. I would not want to get attached to the child or them to me and it not work out. Good luck

Being a single parent to little kid(s) makes dating more complicated, there is no doubt about it.
But deter? No. If things go well between the two, a child would not be a problem.
Boils down to preferences and compatibility.
Welcome to CS and good luck to you.

Kids remain over anything in this world. I respect mothers as I know their pain to raise kids alone

I'm a single mother and I dont see it as a problem to date or have fun... My kids are my happiness and everything to me..

I am a single parrent and It is definately a disadvantage in dating however I would not trade a dating life for having my kids and being involved with them. you can date at any age but you can raise your kids only once.

Yes it would deter me.I do not hate kids or anything,I just have zero patients with them and resent when men push their kids on you.I have dated many many single dads in the past and always without fail you are the ones taking care of them and looking after them when they are with their fathers.

for the past 17 years i have done what some said was impossible and what some called a miracle.i raised my 5 children by myself,just think it all started when a judge thought it would be funny to give me full custody of my 5 children.i wonder why he was laughing about it.but i would not have traded it for nothing in the world,sure being a single parent is a long hard road and sometimes a uphill battle but in the end you will see it is worth it..but when the last one moves out of the house it is like WTF do i do now
