I'm actually going to go the other direction... being a single dad is a good thing in terms of dating, but as Emily points out in her posting, I think that's because I'm seen as more real, more willing to commit, etc. From my perspective, it also ...

So far being a single father has been a deal-breaker for me. In fact during my date she suggested that I try to meet single moms instead. Maybe she's right, someone who understands what I'm going through. It's also been hard for me too pull myself...

Love this post! And yes, I've definitely been ruled out many times because of my daughter, which is ironic because she's intelligent and mature enough to participate in adult conversations (Then again, that may be the problem; this creeps them out...

About Me:
I'm a newly single mom (as of September) of 2 toddlers, Rex and Gen. I'd been a stay-at-home-mom and caregiver to my grandmother, who suffered from dementia and congestive heart failure. She passed away in July, which was incredibly hard for the 3 of us. Now I'm trying to find my feet beneath me. I keep saying, things can only go up from here!

Is being a parent a deal-breaker?

I guess we all have our deal-breakers--you know, the qualities or habits that make someone undateable by our personal standards. (For me those include any indication that he may be abusive, an addict, a narcissist, and/or an infidel. Clearly I just want to weed out THE NAST this time around. Beyond that, your issues are small potatoes and I'm pretty sure I can deal.)

Catching up on my reader tonight (Whoahwhoahheyhey. You've been posting like crazy, kids!), I came upon… Continue

where the heart is...

I'm Catholic. Hmm...I was raised Catholic. I guess I'm a lapsed Catholic...?

Do you know what "lapsed" means? "Having fallen into sin."

Yeah...that's my problem.

I know my religion. (C'mon. I was raised by my Polish Grandma.) I did not miss mass. I was active in my faith. I went to parochial schools. At one point I was a catechist, a lector, a youth group leader and a Eucharistic minister. I agonized over the lack of involvement of young people in the Church. The Church was home to me.… Continue

promising

I feel like I'm on the brink of something here. Something that could be amazing if I let it. But it could also be devastating, and I don't know if I can I handle that.

He seems like such a good man. I believe the unbelievably perfect things he says to me. He's patient and understanding, and that's exactly what I need him to be. When I think about him, I smile.

It feels so promising, yet I can't bear to make him a single promise. I feel like I'm building a wall around the three of us, a… Continue

letter that i'll never send

"...he's so good to me..." When I read that, I actually screamed. Thinking about it now makes me cringe. You have NO idea. I could tell you so many things that he IS, and good to women would never make that list.

I'm really angry at you (at, not with, because you clearly never considered my feelings). No, I don't know you, but you represent any woman that would knowingly become involved with a man that has a family. Who does that? And adding to my confusion, I wonder what kind of mother would d… Continue

Look at your precious angels! I love the picture of them in the bathtub - too cute! I have 3 little girls and have finally made it past the toddler stage. My girls are 8, 6 and 5. I've also been a stay at home mom and took care of my great grandmother who suffered from dementia. She passed away in March. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I know one thing for sure, you must be so *proud* of your babies!
Blessings,
Kim

Don't ask me the "where do you find them question!" I found mine 2,800 miles away. I'm a bad, bad example!

Not divorce yet. But i did get to meet two little angels. One is a dear lady who is in the same boat as me. But she has more money that I do. She referred me to a great lawyer. Win or lose I am happy. I have given the toad one last 48 hr time to w...

I agree 100% with you. I find it really hard to forgive my son's father for everything he has ever done to him. He never apologized. I want to forgive him and when I look at him I try to act like everything's fine (for the sake of my son) but I ca...
