Question for police officers dating single custodial parents? If your boyfriend/girlfriend whom you are madly in love with opened his/her heart out about his/her tumultous marriage, and tells you about the ex-spouse not paying child support (sometimes crying in the case of the mothers,) how would you react? Has this ever happened to you? How did you feel? What did you do about it? And how determined and how far would you go to track down the deadbeat non-custodial parent, and demand that he/she pay up, or you will take him/her to jail yourself?
Dating divorced single parents? it's tough enough out there in the dating world but I've come to a tough conclusion about dating single parents and who to stay away from. Single parents come in all flavors. However not all are equal. The single mother who was walked out on by her husband is a good person to date. they have morals and really didn't want the relationship to end but had no choice but to be a single parent. What i have a problem with are the single parents who were grown adults and had unprotected sex and just wanted a baby or really don't care that the baby's father isn't in the picture or just decided that they were not the happiest in their marriage and went looking for the grass is greener. The single fathers who had an affair and left their marriage you should stay away from as well. I think that's why it's so hard to trust a single parent dating. you don't know what their motives are or if they're ok or just careless. agree or disagree? and to all you single moms out there that it wasn't really your choice to be a single mom but because he beat you up or left you when you wanted a stable family. I applaud you all.

Dating a single mum. How should I tell my parents that I am planning to be in a relationship with a single mum? I am from a different culture and I am dating a single mum who has a 7 months old daughter from her previous relationship. My family is very old fashioned and I am not sure how my parents' reaction would be towards this case. My parents may be very supportive especially my mum who is very feminist! but I am scared that they may dislike this idea. Can you tell me how I should approach my parents and tell them about this girl who is a single mum?
Any single parents dating stories? How has it been for you? I am a good guy, pretty d@m sexy (this is what ppl tell me and i do take great care of my body) I am responsible. But it seems as if kids really are a dealbreaker for most people. I am fine wiht it honestly sicne my kids give me all I need really. I would not trade my spot for the mothers spot for anything! (she is living free and single with no responsibilities...she gets the kids only 4 days out of the month and seems to be ok with it to live her single lifestyle) But I'd like to hear anyone else who is a single parent on how dating has been for you?
What do you think the internet dating for single parents? There’s little doubt that Internet dating is increasingly popular among single parents. I think it’s for obvious reasons: Single parents have less free time to get involved in traditional dating rituals, less patience for the “dating game,” and, since they’ve likely been “burned” in some relationship capacity, they like being able to surf profiles to be more selective about who they express interest in. With kids in the picture, being selective is particularly appealing. I'm a single mom and I don’t know too many single parents who haven’t delved into it in some capacity. I do know some who have met mates through groups like Singleparentloving.com, preferring the face-to-face encounters that offers. My question is what do you think the internet dating for single parents?
Good books on single parenting/dating? I was just wondering if anyone could reccomend some good books to me about single parenting, and single parenting and dating. I read a really good magazine article the other day, but it was in a doctor's office, and I don't remember any of the book titles. I'm a single mom to a 6 month old girl, and sometimes, I find that this whole single parenting thing gets rough. Last night when my daughter was screaming, I would have loved for someone to be there to play tag-team with. And dating... scares the hell out of me. I also have this fear that no one wants to date a single mom. I know it's not true...but...that's how I feel. ( a little background before I get the whole "you're a harlot because you're a single mom" speech...my child's father kicked me out of our home when I was 5 months pregnant, and has wanted nothing to do with either one of us since then.)
single parent dating would you date them or not? Would you date a single parent if so why? if you don't why? oh would you like to meet the children if you are date the parent with children . or do you want to know the parent before children.
divorced with kids dating single people with no kids...any hints? i am a single father with 3 kids (10,8,6). I have them every other week. I am starting after a year since my divorce to date. I felt it was important for the kids and I to have some healing and rebuilding time. Now that I am open to dating I am being approached by single gals with no kids. I have heard a lot of horror stories of single parents dating single people. I want to do this right. I know that I do want to be in a committed relationship. My kids are well behaved, respectful, good grade getting, sunday school attending kids who answer yes ma'am and yes sir. They want me to "have someone to go to movies with". They know I want that. Does any one have any wisdom to share for this situation. What to avoid, what to absolutley do, what to prepare for....etc. Has anyone done it and failed or done it and succeeded and want to share how/why? I'd love some ideas and guidance from the experienced.
For single and dating parents? When you were going to introduce your child to your new boyfriend/girlfriend, how and when did you go about doing it? Did you introduce them right away, or hold off until the relationship was further along? And what age was your child? Would you have done it differently if your child was older or younger? My son is 12 months, and a very close friend of mine recently came back into the picture, after having been away for 2 years. He knows about my son, but has never met him, and I am uncertain about how my relationship with my friend stands now, whether it will become romantic or be platonic.
Legal rights of single parents when dating? If there is a paralegal that can answer this, it would help. If I have been dating someone long term, and I have requested and recieved a background check on the person in question, and other then a few minor traffic stuff , there is nothing that causes any real worry or concern. The gentleman in question recently went through a nasty divorce and custody battle and had a lot of accusations tossed at him by his ex during the divorce, so to be on the safe side I requested a background check because he would be around my kids. My ex has threatened to interfer because he does not want any other male playing his daddy role - however, the ex does not call on a regular basis, does not pay child support on a regular basis, and has an overly active imagination. He tends to blow small slights or imagined slights into huge problems - one of the reasons that we are not together anymore. I worry because he has said that if he THINKS that someone I am dating is saying the wrong thing in front of them, or he thinks that something is wrong going, he will call the police and cause problems for the man I date. Does he have a legal right to defame or accuse someone of wrong doing without proof?
What should I expect when dating a single father? I recently starting dating a single father. He is a very nice man, and easy to get along with. The only problem I have is that he takes too long to contact me between dates. The norm is about three days between communications. He says that he doesn't have a phone, so all our communications are through IM's. I really like this guy, and I understand that being a single parent is very time consuming, but how long should I wait before he has time for me?
Do you think single parents should date? I do not have any children right now. I'm just curious because my marriage and family course had a discussion about this issue. Alot of people believed single parents shouldn't. However, in my personal opinion I believe they should as long as they can balance out their time.
As a single parent, dating another single parent, when is it appropriate to involve the kids? I am 36 years old and a single mother of a 6 year old boy. I have been dating a man who is 35, and has two girls ... 3 and 5, for 7 months. We only see each other every other weekend when we do not have our children. We talk every day and have a great relationship. I feel we are at the point where we could introduce our children, but he is very apprehensive ... I don't want to push, but I feel like I am ready for more than 4 evenings a month!!!
What are some things I should be aware of when dating a single parent? I am considering getting serious a single father. I really love his little kid, so we get along well, but are there other things or tips you could tell me about so I might be better prepared for a relationship like this? What are the challenges in a situation like this? I am pretty young and I don't have alot of experience with this sort of thing. All sincere advice is really appreciated! He is 5 by the way :)
How do single parents find the time for dating? How many of you out there are single parents and find the time to date? I've been a single parent for over 10 years now, and it just seems like there is always something going on. I've had to resort to online dating, there's even a website for us single parents (singleparentmeet.com), but that doesn't even seem to be working real well. I'm not the best looking guy on the planet, but I'm not the worst either. How do some of your single parents do it?
Are there any single parent dating sites out there? I know it sounds a bit sad but with my situation now im gonna struggle to get out the house when id like to.

dating and single parents..? i've been seeing a single dad now for about three months - and have yet to meet his child. i was able to leave my previous marriage (we are both on the fast track to divorce) before having children - so i haven't been in his shoes. i do make sure to ask about his child everytime i see him, and share whats going on with the kids in my family (neices and nephews) - which i know isn't the same - but its as close as i have come to having children at this point. how long do other single parents usually wait before introducing their b/f or g/f to their children? are their certain critieria you look for before doing so? please no posting for points
Current/Former Single parents- Dating? How much time do you spend away from your child when pursuing a new relationship? How long do you "feel the waters" before making a decision to continue in the relationship? And at what stage do you introduce your child(ren)? Once introduced, how often do you involve them?
Question about single parents and dating? Is it possible to have a relationship with a man that is more than "friends with benifits" but not quite "step-father of my children" when you are a single mother? How do i go about finding the middle ground? I do not want a step father for my kids. My kids have a father and i dont want any man i date to think he has to step up to the plate. But i want more than someone there just for sex. I want someone to hold me and kiss me and tell me they love me and buy my flowers and do that thing where our forheads touch...and thoes sighs of contentment.. can i have that without them being put in the step father role? I made the mistake of letting a man meet my kids once. He was introduced as my friend and i had a few other friends over for dinner that same month so it wouldnt be so weird for the kids and they would believe me that he was a friend. We were dating for about 8 months. He freaked out and told me over the phone that he didnt want to be a father and that was the end of that. I know my ex's girlfriend is in the step mom role. My kids tell me she puts them to bed and she plays with them and she reads them bedtime stories and makes them meals. I dont mind it as much because i think the more people who love my children, the better off they will be. As long as they are following my rules. The second she steps up and tells me how to raise my children is when i will make her bleed. I am seeing this guy now who holds my hand and kisses me and all that romantic stuff. Its been about a month. I wouldnt introduce him to my kids for about a year but i am afraid. of getting too close to him and then him meeting my kids and saying "whoa, too much.. see ya"
A question for single parents, regarding dating..? Does anyone else feel like you are all but undateable, due to the responsibilities you have as a single parent? I am an attractive, professional single father that is fortunate enough to have my 13 yr old daughter living with me full time. I have her all but 4 nights a month. I adore her and love having her with me. I dont have any problem finding dates, but it is tough with such little time away from my daughter. Just curious if I am the only one that gets frustrated by this.

What are the effects of single parent dating habits on their children? I have a friend who is a single mom to three boys all under the age of 10. In the last 2 years she has dated 4 men who she fell in love with quickly and made them part of her children's lives. The boys bonded to each one and then suffered when the relationships ended. I was wondering if there are any good studies or books on the long-term effects of this pattern on the children.
