i'm a single dad, but my little boy lives with his mum for 3/4's of the year, we now live on opposite sides of the country so when i have him it's generally for about 4 - 6 weeks at a time. it's hard sometimes thinkin about him being with her, but according to our "wonderfull government" children are better off with their mums

hi came across your profile whilst i finished doing my profile and wow i was blown away with your cheeky smile lol xx

Hi,

I have two boys one 8 and the other 20months, have joint cust, life is not easy, but the are my life.

Hi,
I am a soon to be single dad and I live about 20 miles south of you. I am just over the border into East yorkshire, not too far at all.

I am officially a single dad now

single dad here owned by one beautifull 8 month old little girl good call on the topic there are a few topics for single mums they need cross referencing!!

Sorry to be slightly negative in this thread (Im a single mum myself from him being 3, but he's now a grown up).

I've just dated a dad with custody of his two beautiful girls (21 months and 3 and a half), and when he decided to end it (when it got "serious" and he obviously has some issues with his ex leaving him). I feel I have lost not only him but the girls as well.. and I do think about them a lot. I know I will get over it.. but just think about the women you are dating single dads. They get attached to your children.. so make sure you are fairly positive before you make the leap into introducing them and spending a lot of time with the kids together.

I know thats easier said than done, but I'm just looking at it from a different prospective. I don't really want to go through that again!

I agree about introducing children into any relationship ........... in the 8 years i have been divorced i have only introduced my 2 kids to 2 guys ......... one of which knew what it meant to me and broke my heart a week later and the other they still see as he is now of my closest friends ........ on thr other hand though my reluctance to get my kids involved, have in the past, coursed problems.

My son actually met up with my ex (not his dad) in secret a couple of times because he missed him. He thought it would upset me if I knew he'd seen him, as the solicitor had been trying to find him to sign the divorce papers etc. I couldn't be cross with him. When you are going through a break up its hard to remember that your kid is going through it too (they really got on well and spent a lot of time together).

But I was the same as you funkychick.. didn't introduce my son to anyone that wasn't a serious relationship.

I wasc introduced to my ex's kids a little TOO soon, I think, and once I met them I hardly ever saw her without them. I wouldnt rule out dating someone with kids again, but it has made me wary.

"The one"... yep, I'm still waiting too!
