allmcc: Whenever i tell a guy i have children i watch them run.
For every single mother out there a single father also exist.Being as I don't date women I can say that having gone down the road of dating single dads many times I would never ever do that again.With men it's almost like the moment there is a woman around they will just sit there and drool on the couch while you tend to every need of THEIR child.All of the sudden they think they have scored a free babysitter patsy.
In response to: Whenever i tell a guy i have children i watch them run.
well the only thing i can say is tell them to run faster as they ant worth it i have spoke about this before being a single parent myself if they cant except you for who you are and your family they ant worth knowing are they i meet the same problem on a farthers side and it is not nice so i say to people is give single parents a chance in life as most of them deserve it and can be very loveable .
personally I would have thought if someone runs because your a single mum it would be a simple matter of saying to yourself " ok he wasnt right for me " and move on .
Face it having a relationship with someone that has kids is a daunting task and isnt taken lightly . Would you rather they stuck around and made things unbearable because they didnt want to be there ?
Fact is single mothers are a package deal and not everyone wants an instant family . sure there is other factors involved ie kids age, opportunities for alone time etc etc .
You asked for guys opinions and mine would be " I have 2 children I dont need / want any more " shallow and fickle maybe but like it or not its my decision as to having a relationship and if Im not comfortable its not going to happen .
well of course if your looking for a no strings attached regular roll in the hay sign me up
This is an interesting topic. In my experience some guys will pretend to like your children just to get to you if you know what I mean but they're really not planning to stick around for long. Some guys will just not want to get involved at all and then there are those rare few who are just good , sincere accepting people. You have to be really cautious, a bit street smart and I tend to go with the guys who are devoted fathers, this way I KNOW for a fact that they can relate to me.
