i myself am also a single mum of 3. It is a hard job but we do it with unconditional love & discapline...you are doing a great job...don't let anyone tell you other wise. Areti

I also am a single mother of three beautiful children i raise them by myself their dad's have nothing to do with them or anything......i know how you feel about not being able to find a good man who would want to be with someone with children

It appears to me that you are making an unproven assumption about men.

FIRST AND FOREMOST< you are a blessing

someday another blessing that can recognize that will cross your path,, till then, enjoy the time with your blessings and they will appreciate that you didn't knowingly settle just to have 'someone'

sometimes we will be waiting a while for the 'right one'

I am a stay-at-home widower, and I do the same things that a mom does.

Except nurse babies, I hope!

I think any gui or man that takes being a single mum a sin is just simply the type that shy away even from thier responsibilty. To all single mum: be strong n stay beautiful.

I luv single mothers,they are the most intresting,caring n luving woman ever.they got experience on how to take care of thd kids n even we the men.i swear i will lyk to have a single mum as my lifepartner who i can keep for life

Problem with single mothers is they got that way for a reason and now when a real man comes along and get involved they become a nun all the sudden.

I prefer dating a single mother. I am a single father not a weekender I have my kids full time, and most single moms have there kids all of the time so we can relate with what each other is going thru or have been thru. I think I will post a what do women think of single fathers on here I have had a very hard time dating and I don't get it single dad takes care of his kids. im not asking them to step in and play mom so I don't know. im gonna go post that now and hey I love all of the single mothers your moms I grew up with a single mom and now im a single dad so just remember when things get tough keep fighting it will get better

Well said.

My mother Raised 2 boys , work full time , And sacrificed her life for us. My father Was an alcoholic Who only paid child support And was never around. I have nothing but respect For single moms.

I wouldn't go out with a women because she has or doesn't have children. It will, of course, change what we do. Like any family, once children are involved you have to plan around them. If you are serious about this person then you need to bond with her children as well. It's a package deal.

Remember, you are just another guy, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't...but the children are her's for the rest of her life. You're replaceable, the children are not.

Also, at least at the beginning, you DON'T have an opinion about HER children, won't be appreciated...and in reality it is NONE of your business.

On the other hand, if you are accepted into the family, she should then include you in decisions about the children.

Well said, NorCal.

.. well this is just my opinion..
. I am a single father of two...
.. I didn't look at women any differently because they have children... first off I look at the woman... all women are the same children are no children... they want respect.. they want tenderness.. caring and passion.... what does having children have to do with any of that...
.. unless a topic is. would you become involved with a woman romantically.. that has children...?.... but it is not... when I meet a woman in public... the first thing out of her mouth isn't I have kids.... but honestly I have been known... to approach women with children... and no not in a creepy way.... butt politely. flirting with them.. first of all they are a woman.... their desires do not change.. simply because they have children.. blessed with children as a matter of fact... this means they have more to offer actually.. they're more compassionate .and sharing... they know and .appreciate the meaning of time.. they are more. expressive and. caring... compassionate.

.. I had a bit more to add to that.. but I'm using my phone .. and sometimes I hit send.. prematurely.. yes Haha... women are just beautiful. End of story

Well said girlfriend. Single moms rock.

Being a single mom is overwhelming and challenging but I know from experience that I wouldn't know where I would be if it weren't for my children. They are the ones that are their no matter what.

I think they have a very hard job raising kids on their own. I have great respect for single parents.
