Hello, Dear members of the Mingle to! My name is Jen and I'm new here. I'm mom of two wonderful children and I'd like to meet a good man with the children, too. For the three days here I loved this app. But the search for my purpose could be challenging. I hope you will like my idea and Administration of the Mingle will accept it. Lonely parents could will write in the comments just few words about yourself and we will find each other more easly.
Thanks for reading!
Have a nice day!

Welcome


The thing about "Lonely Parents" is the fact once you are a parent you are always a parent. I'm a parent of 4 children all of which are grown, married and have children of their own. They do not live with me but I am still their parent.
(I'm not looking for anyone, I've already found someone)

There's also people who have children but those children do not live with them.
They have custody only some of the time. Usually due to a divorce. Few men win custody of their children. However, they are still parents.

I'm curious as to why you are singling out lonely parents in your search?
Are you seeking a "Brady Bunch" type relationship?
Are you thinking only a man who is a parent can understand your needs?

Perhaps, and this is my own opinion, you should focus on finding someone who is right for you. Most of the time, someone who is right for you will also be right for your children. When searching, its highly unlikely anyone is going to choose you because you are a single parent. However, if they choose YOU, many times they will also accept that which makes you, you. Which includes your children and your extended family.

I doubt many people would want to date your child.
They may want to date you but what happens after that is up to you.
If you put your children in front, many will walk away.

I hope you find someone you seek.
Try to remember their focus is going to be on you first.

Hello Jen, welcome onboard
It's good to know that you like the M2 family already

Now, coming to your topic - most of us, who are about our age, are parents, and single too! But not necessarily, lonely! True, once the kids grow up, they have a life of their own, and the single parent begins feeling lonely! It seems, only till yesterday, the kids would take so much of our time, and almost overnight they have grown up; no longer asking for our undivided attention!
This is one stage of our lives, most of us are never really prepared for! This is where sites like this one can ease out things for us, by at the least, not letting us feel that lonely! I wish you all the best, happy mingling....

WHEN I WAS YOUNG I HAD TWO SON'S..MARRIED A WOMAN WITH TWO KIDS IT

WAS A DISASTER....

IN MY GRANDFATHERS DAY IT HAD A BETTER CHANCE OF WORKING. THERE

NEAREST NEIGHBOR WAS OVER TWO MILES AWAY WHERE THEY WHERE AT

THEY HAD TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM...

...AS THEY WORKED TOGETHER THEY LEARNED TO

APPRECIATE EACH OTHER....IF YOU HAVE A GARDEN AND THINK LIKE MOST

PEOPLE ''WHAT CAN I GET FROM THIS GARDEN''..... INSTEAD OF ''WHAT

DOES THIS GARDEN NEED FROM ME'' AND THEN

WONDER WHY THE GARDEN FAILED....RELATIONSHIPS REQUIRE WORK ON

BOTH PARTS TO MAKE IT WORK....FIRST YOU NEED TO DO IS SOME

INTROSPECTION ON YOUR PART.....GOOD LUCK...I HOPE YOU FIND THE

LOVE YOU WANT..P.S ONE BOOK I REALLY ENJOYED WAS BY NANCY FRIDAY

IT WAS CALLED ''MY MOTHER, MY SELF''......PEOPLE GET SO WRAPPED

UP IN THE SURFACE NOISE OF THE RELATIONSHIP TO EVER SEE THERE

PART....ITS REALLY WHAT WE WILL EXCEPT, NOT EXCEPT, OR

REINFORCE.....WE ALWAYS HAVE A PART IN OUR SUCCESSES OR FAILURES

...SOME OF US ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS AND SOME STAY STUCK WHERE

THEY ARE......AGAIN....BEST OF LUCK....

Parenting is not an easy task if you’re a single mom or dad .. it’s never been the same since my wife passed on so I try to spend quality time with my son each time I’m home .. I get to travel from time to time that Lee’s is away fro sometime (weeks/months) depends .. right now I’d say I’m looking for a friend in a woman who’s ready to make my home our home

The other day I wrote here about single mum and finding love and someone just replied to me that it would be hard for me to find someone. The reason I got is that many man would not like to be associated with the child they have not sired. That statement broke me and I decided to stop looking for a man but build friends and people I can interact with. I just gave up on looking.

Hello

I'm a single mom of 2 teenagers, and I find that many guys that I met on here think I'm looking for men to have one night stands with, just because I am a "lonely parent" - which is just effing ridiculous. Those type of guys are on my super long blocked list!

I just want to meet someone with mutual interests, the same sense of humor, very intelligent and all the good things that come with it. So far I've met a couple of interesting people who "almost" fit the criteria.

Nice hearing your topic pretty, I am single dad of two... A girl and a boy from two different mothers who I neither live with, I'm in Uganda.

Hi, don't know who told you that rubbish but rubbish it is! Any person who says such comments should be straight into the bucket. A man falls in love with a woman, end of. It is nothing to do with who sired who as that smacks of macho hoo ha & very short on acceptance & tolerance for a person trying to find their soul mate.

I'm a single Dad who works a lot. Most of my other time is dedicated to my son, so I completely understand

Am a single mother and looking for someone ready to love me with my kids i don't mind if he has kids too we shall raise our kids together i want someone who is serious not fake please

Am here we can can mingle if possible give me a chance

Sup

Thank you to the group creator(s),
I find my situation unique- and realize that part of this could be due to the fact that I do not talk about it for the shame and guilt which overwhelms me when I say: I am the mother of the two most amazing boys but their father has FT custody. I immediately sense judgement.

What remains unsaid is that I single-handedly raised them for 7 years while my ex took a free ride; he became monstrously abusive- but I gave my word in saying I do. When I reached needing by, went to ER- where he had me served. He had been busy- court order I was no longer allowed in my own home and he took full custody of my children having concocted fanciful story of incapacity on my part and his concern for their safety (whom I had had even just the day before and no concern). He had never been alone with them for more than three hours. And I quickly learned he had cyphoned all of our money.

Did I fight for them? Hell yeah- to bankruptcy.

I am a mother who raised amazing children. I see them - at his leisure. It is humiliating to say.

Is this how men feel in the opposite situation?
