god its so hard looking for love when you're a single parent.i'm single for almost 2 years now and only recently started going out again.but it's hard when when youngest child is only 12 and his dad dose'nt take him for the weekends.i have to rely on my parents to have him over night which i cant do each weekend so its once a month for me.it makes me angry knowing my ex is out every weekend with no responibilities to tie him down.how am i supposed to meet the man of my dreams(if theres such a person for either love).


joining this forum was a good start..lol
Im in the opposite position to you really..i have my daughter every weekend, whilst ex is free to go out..

i'm the same... my ex is out there doing whatever it is that he does...(not a whole bloody lot when we were together anyhow) while i have the kids 24/7. dont get me wrong i love my kids and love being able to spend time with them. but i do resent the lifestyle my ex may or may not have created for himself.... at least he had the chance.

my mother will take one of them for one night at the wkend if she can and my granny will take the other one. but i have to be down early in the morning to collect them so can't really take off somewhere. it's quite frustrating. my youngest is only 3 so i can't take him away for a weekend either.

oh blah. but hey in ten years my daughter can babysit. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

i know how you feel cozy girl, i'm only 21 and have my little girl 24/7 i have to nag her dad for say a month or so before he will actually pick her up, i've given up now and just stay in , i must say this site has been a lifeline i can have more fun on here chatting to people than i do when i go out and realise everyone's dissapeared and setlling down lol. Keep a smile on your face and keep posting you'll get there in the end Very Happy

Is so sad when children have two parents and yet only one of them love and support them.


It's not always lack of love that stops a parent seeing their kids. I have to sell my car soon, it's getting harder and harder to get my boys because of the distance and cost and i know their dad won't bring them up and fetch them again every time.

I've already resigned myself to the fact that they may come a day when I may not see them from one year to the next Sad

Most of the time we get on fine, it's just this particular issue. He was the same when we were together and the girls dad would drive the 5 hrs up here and back because the boys dad refused to do any driving.

I know by law that if i don't have a vehicle, he should do the trip, but it would mean court and I just can't do it emotionally or financially.

Yikes.... i feel for you i really do! And here is me whinning that my ex lives to close. Less than half a mile away from me. But the advantage of that i suppose is that the boys can walk over to see their dad when ever they like and he is happy to have them. Awww Red you so need a hug!


I sometimes find myself looking whistfully back at the time between leaving my first and meeting my 2nd husband. Just me and the girls in a small flat, 5 minutes away from the girls dad. We got on then and he'd pop by on his way back from work to see them every night. I'd make him a coffee and we'd all get on fine.

Ah me... that's life Smile And I have 2 gorgeous boys out of it all. So no real harm done Very Happy

i spend every other weekend with my daughter who is just coming up to 4. i had ti fight hard for the access and contact, not because of my ex but her father was being a t**t. me and my ex get on better now we are seperated than when we were togehter. i have been single for about 3 years and i would never say i want a relationship with a person but no involvement with any children they might have. the kids always come as part of the package. its just a case of finding the rgh person to spend time with. j Very Happy

my first bit of advice is to check out your local OU meet-ups and if there isn't one, find out through the OU how to go about getting one started yourself (yes I'm an OU geek too )
