raising my kids isn't a real prob...the problem that probably weighs on me the most is being 40 and finding a woman to accept the realities of a single dads responsibility

Hey,

I'm not in my 40s (just turned 29), but I've been a single dad for about 5 years (my son turns 10 next month).

Actually, I could make a good case for how I raised his mother so I feel like I've been a single dad for >10 years...

Anyway, hope I can join the single dads club here...

Bobby

Edited to add - I clicked on this post from the home page...sorry...I didn't notice that it was in the 40-something section!

BigBobby, welcome aboard. Don't sweat the 40 something thing.

Lots of great people here so enjoy the site.

You guys might want to check out the live chat room some time. Just a way to have some good clean fun with other members. We still haven't come up with the best standard day/time for a group chat, we had been trying for Sunday 1 EST, but you can still occasionally find some impromptu chats going.

Howdy,

I am a full time single dad, 41 y/o, living in MA.

I can't say I love it. This was NOT the way I wanted life to go! But life doesn't always go your way.

I wanted to be married and was, but she left for another man. Three years ago she died of breast cancer. Before that I had my daughter 50% of the time.

I have always loved being a dad. Before she was born I was scared, but as soon as she was born I got right into being a dad and taking care of my girl. Nothing phased me, no even diapers, puke, and 3am crying fits.

Now she is 12 (not as many diapers ny more! LOL!),
and I still love being a dad. All except the single part. I've tried dating but very few women want a full time single dad. I don't have the time for 2 females in my life, and my daughter comes first. SO for now I remain dateless.

But nothing is better then being a dad. I am helping my daughter solve the mysteries of math and she recently discovered the Lord of the RIngs and wants the movies. I'm getting her into cycling (which I love).

I just wish she had a mom to do all the women things with, especially clothes shopping and make up.

I know what you mean. I just recently swore off dating. There is just no point.

I am 41 and you are right; there are damn few women who want single dads. In my case I am a full time single dad (ex died) so I have even less free time.

Women demand a lot of your time and attention. My daughter comes first though. SO until she is grown up the women will have to wait.

It sux but its the reality of the situation.

I completely understand what your talking about. I am a 32 year old woman but also have had a hard time finding a man that can understand the demands of having a child fulltime. I'm finding it to be very LONELY. Just didn't want you to think you were the only one feeling frustrated.
