i can tell you first hand that women hate full time single dad's , thats been my experience since my partner died , children are first priority and peoole should stop using them against each other they are not to be used as weapons or tools as that is child abuse ,

That's one double crock full of crap.

My kids have and had stepmothers who adore and cherish them.

They've even flow past me to visit with one. Every year she goes to the Northwest to visit her son, they all get together for a reunion.

Good for you, but he's right in a way that some women do resent single dads. I experienced it myself when I brought my son up and it really is double standards with some women. If a guy meets a single mum, then we're just expected to accept their kids as part of the deal and rightly so? When it comes to a woman accepting a single guys kid though? Different story then! That's when you get the ' It's your kid or me? ' I've had that in the past and it wasn't a hard choice and she was shown the door on the couple of occassions that it happened. So maybe you were lucky with your kids stepmums? Me? I was happiest raising my son and didn't need any outside help from anyone, financial or emotional !

in my experience women really hate single dads , i have twocchildren under six , when my partner died that was a challenging situation, my son in grade 1 this year , its hard for chikden , they are not bargining tools or weapons, single dads have no rights , i would do any thing for my children

Have you thought that maybe women just didn't like something about you and not that fact that you are a dad? Maybe you are giving bad vibes; or not treating them right. My sister in-law divorced my brother because his priority was the kids and he simply had no time for her. I dated single dads like that too and it was a terrible experience.

Navy girl right!

My ex took in alot of strays and was good. To them mostly when I was working .men that is she was useless as a mom and a wife

the woman i have had dealings with say its them or my children , of course i going to choose my children , its quite sad really

the women i have had dealins with have told me its them or my cildren , to be expected of course. well i will choose my children

the women i have had dealings with tried to get me to choose between them and my children. children will be chosen

I think they're just as deserving as single mums are. It show's that you can look after a child properly. Why should that not be praised? As long as you know what you're doing, I see nothing wrong with that. It can't be easy, yet you manage.

I agree with you willing 2.
I've never heard such a load of rubbish.
Hate is a very very strong word for one.
To generalise all women together like that is very narrow minded

After my x wife was found to be incapable to look after my 4 kids, I had to b forced to choose over my kids n wife, so now I'm single with a 6,4 and 2 year old twins. The way I see it ill never get a woman as iv no time any more so screw what anyone thinks!

This kind of statement is sad. I, for one, am a single mom that would prefer to date a single dad. He knows the struggles of being a single parent. It takes two to make a baby. You never know the other side of the story. It is admirable to me when the dad steps up and takes care of his kids. Plus, it is important for the kids to know their dad is still there for them even though the marriage or relationship with their mom did not work out for their dad. Both parents, if possible, should take responsibility of the kids they put in this world and leave their selfish and foolish pride behind.

((steps off my soapbox))

That probably explains why this guy is and will remain single.

I think being a single dad's are as admirable as a single mom, no more, no less. I for one have held to the standard that i would never date a man who has kids if he did not take care of them.... that is spending time with them, paying child support, the whole nine yards. That was my standard when I was in college dating long before I had children, that's my standard now.

To the gentlemen who think woman hate single dad's that is absolutely untrue. However, no woman likes to be ignored or feel that she's taking a back seat. So if you are pursuing a woman and a relationship, you should be able to have SOME time to devote to that. If you are at a point with your kids, where you can't devote time to building a relationship, then perhaps stay out of the dating arena until you do. Otherwise, it's unfair. I don't think any woman expects that a single dad is going to devote hours to them every day of the week, but if you're dating them, they are going to expect some time with your undivided attention. Honestly, if you were married with kids, you're wife would expect the same- some time devoted to her.

Agreed. This is why my brother is divorced; he ignored his wife for the kids.

Actually it is not child abuse but manipulation of another person.

Hey there you hit the nail right on the head but you missed out the getting all piled up and not remember cheating.
