I think Alice should have posted that in the Scammers section

i have two wonderful kids whom i look after everyday as we lost mum very suddenly, i agree its difficult to try and start picking up the pieces but you have to make the best of wht you have and hopefully you will meet someone who can understand that having kids doesnt mean that you cant have a relationship.
I thankfully have some family who take the kids or watch them to give me some time out at the weekends if i have something on and i try to do as much with the kids as i possibly can.
I work fulltime too so you do need some tiem out and its nothing against the kids but we all need some adult company in our lives.

hello and welcome stayin29

hi cheekyeyes thank you x

im a single dad been like this for 6 years now had odd relation ships but i find they have all had a problem with my child coming first.

her mum ran off 6 years ago and doesnt have much to do with her ( i think shes been to her mums 3 maybe 4 times max)(for a day)

the way i see it is im responsible for her and if someone else cant see that then im sorry but thats the way it is

Hello Chrisktm and welcome

Hi I'm also new to this. In a way I am fairly lucky. Been separated for 2 years, have 2 daughters age 14 and 11, they see their dad 2 nights a week and one afternoon and every second weekend (Sat lunchtime to Sun teatime).

My estranged and I do not get on and I am so p**sed off with him. Its only if I want to change the arrangement its so hard.

I have no problem with him taking them, its only the odd time if the oldest wants to go out with her friends or one of them is ill that they he doesnt see them.

He just doesnt do very much with them, normally sitting in the house watching TV.

im a single parent too , ive one 13 yr old lad !
he goes to his dads every fri teatime till sunday teatime so im pretty lucky there and i have saturdays off from work i can pretty much swop shifts with other staff if i need to we help each other out !
only thing is ,my ex has an habit of dropping my son home on a sat sometimes if my son has asked to come home cos he wants to go to a mates house ! without ringing me.not knowing if ill be in or anything
when i do start dating i dont want my lad turning up (in the 1st stages) of getting to know someone if they come round to my house for a meal or anything .incase it we dont click .i dont want him seeing dif blokes while im in dating stage! so ive started telling him to ring and check that im in 1st.
his dad got with a lass 1 week after i left and is still with her and my lads ok with that !

or am i worrying to much what my lad will think lol probably
