| Being recently divorced and my kids living with me 4 to 5 nights a week has made me realize something lately.most people believe in single dads about like they believe in the toothfairy. its a great concept but not real. i understand that it is a newer concept for the most part but its not a fariytale. can anyone explain why its like that in a world where we speak of equality of races, creeds and SEXES?

| penn sorry but don't know who you hang with.But most of my friends are single dads.Their children with them..and always have....I date men with children sometimes it just is more easier to date men with children also.....men without children sometimes JMO seem to be into themselves.They don't have time for the single mothers.In todays world it is either single mom or dad.So look out world singles are taking over with the children by their sides.

| Penn,
I have plenty of guy friends that are single dads. They make me realize that it isnt the mothers going through the times with their kids. My theory is that it takes a real man to accept been a single dad raising his kids on his own.

| dont get it wrong, myh friends are of a different breed, they are open minded and alot of them either are or were single parents. it just sometimes seems like when i meet new people they are shocked/surprised adout it. i have even had people congratulate me on it and i mean my view is cmon already, congratulations like i just won the olmpics or something, its no big deal. i am a dad, not a sperm donor.

| There is nothing wrong with people congratulating you for a job well done. Dads like you are in the minority. Just be proud of the job you are doing and let people stand in awe.

| It is a growing breed and it is something to be proud of. my ex left for another guy with my kids. and I now live over 45 miles from them. I pray that one day I'll have them with me everyday. but I just don't have the willpower or money right now to get it back in to court. so don't worry about what everyone believes and be proud of yourself. then stand up for us guys trying to get there.

| ck...
is there any court order that limits your time with them. why i ask is that if there isnt or if it is listed as visitation it has been explained to me that that means possession is 9/10 the law. it becomes more of a civil case that very little can be done about until paperwork is revised. my lawyer has explained a few things to me (i am far from an expert though).

| I have no children of my own. I find single fathers who are stepping up to the plate for their kids to be very attractive to me. So many don't and you should accept the congrats as something positive. It is out of the norm but becoming more and more the way things are. I have met many men who have custody of their children and some who are trying to get it.
You hang in there and remember that the children will always remember who was there for them. Best of luck.

| I think alot of people don't think Men can actually mother children as well as females can. I was raised to believe a womans place was in the home with kids and the man was suppose to be the one that worked. I think its great when its a 50/50 relationship between parents. One parent has a hard time doing it all alone these days.
Some probably are just still living in the stone age peroid to give you a hard time.  I'm guessing you are going to prove them wrong...and probably be darn good at it!! I think anyone can be a good parent if they set their mind to it and follow their hearts.
I think its great you step up and raise your kids. Not many men would do this ..or even know how. Like the rest of us you will find its not easy being a single parent and there is no manual. I'm a mother of "5" and I still learn something new every day!! Good luck to you and your family!! May God bless you richly!

| i just want to say hang in their buddy. i divorced back in 95 and had joint custody could have had full custody but i had pitty on her and before i got custody social services put me threw hell they all but said. a man wasnt able to take care of kids. i know you have your hand ful. and sometimes its hard to even find a woman that will date a man that has custody. but always put your kids first. and from experince dont let other people out their bring you down for doing whats rite. by taking care of your kids dogstake better care of their pups than some mothers do. if you can call them mother's

| I think for me personally I would rather date a single dad so that he knows how to treat my child and can understand the daily stresses of being a single parent. Knowing that just because u want to get out and do something it takes effort and alot of plaaning. Where single men without kids cant get it through their head u cant just jump up and go and stay out all night. I hate when my daughter feels like the third wheel I enjoy having her involved in having fun. NIKKI
