Just looking to solicit a little wisdom, especially from the women.

Been dating single dad of teen kids for 3 yrs. We have gone thur very tough times with adjusting with the? children. As soon as the grandmother comes up to watch them the children has told her incidents of me treating them horribly and its always when there father is not there. My boyfriend has always confided in her alittle too much and told her details of fights we have had in the past .. Definatley doesnot make the situation better. So Now.. its important for him that we get along... Well I have called her, she started yelling and basically saying she does not trust me, believes I treat everyone like garbage and that I am selfish. She is very one sided with this and will always protect her family, She wants to tell me all this in person and tell me exactly what she is talking about. She wants me to fight with her. I hate the fact I have to listen to this woman tell me off. And if its has to do with the kids why aren't they telling their father and we are handling this? God help.. so scared of this woman she is so nasty and judgemental.

Dating a single dad- when is it okay for me to spend the night? Have been dating great guy for about 5 months. He has a 3.5 yo son he has half-time. I have let him guide how much time the three of us spend together - I want to be respectful of their father-son time. Still, the three of us do something together usually 1-2 times/week. Son and I get along fine and are building relationship. Last night BF caught me off guard & wanted me to spend the night (son was home). I hadn't considered we would do that for some time yet. We talked about it & he feels since his son is comfortable with me, and knows me, that it would not phase him or scar him for life to see me come out of the bedroom in the morning. He often asks where I am in the morning anyway if I am there when he goes to bed at night. Am I being over sensitive? It's his son, should I just go with the flow that he says it's okay? I feel I hurt his feelings last night when i hesitated and left - like I was questioning his judgement. I was just surprised - I have no kids - is it okay?

I am dating a single dad, please interpret this for me...? I am dating a single dad. I don't have any kids. He has a 2, 5 and 8 yr old. I met his kids and we went to an indoor playground and had lunch and then went to a movie. I was really shy at first and didn't know how to talk to the two younger ones b/c I don't have much experience playing with kids in that age group. I am totally willing to learn how to interact with them in a way that made it so the kids were having fun. I met his two friends who have kids the same ages as his kids and I think they thought I was pretty and that was all there was to me & that I may not be a good match for him b/c of my lack of experience with children. Do you think they would really think that? He seemed kind of discouraged by the end the day but not too much. What do you think he is thinking? Please tell me what you think, I would be interested to know.

Advice on dating a single dad? I am 28 years old, with no children of my own. I have been dating a man for about six months who has two young children from a previous relationship. I have never before dated a man with children. My issue is that I never know when I will see him, because he does not incorporate me into the life of him and his kids. I know that he may not be ready to introduce me to his kids yet, as I know that is a very important and personal decision. However, I sometimes feel that I get the scraps that are left over in his life. I know that his children have to be his first priority, but it seems that every time we are supposed to do something together he cancels because his ex drops off his kids at the last minute. I am not asking for all of his time, just not sure how to deal with the situation at hand. I get the feeling that he genuinely cares about, and feels bad that he does not see me more than he currently does. Any ideas on how to deal? Or is this just the price I pay for dating a single father? To answer some of the questions below...his ex hates me and I do mean hates me. He and I have been friends for years, so it is not as if I am not aware of the situation. His kids are 3 and 5, and him and his ex have only been broken up about a year. I know that he is cautious to introduce me to his children, because he doesn't want the drama with his ex. Plus he doesn't want to disrupt their routine too much. I know that he is not married, and I have been to his place on many weeknight, when he does not have his kids. I have met his children in the past, when we were just friends, but I have never extensively interacted with them. That is all I am saying. You can only type so many characters on here, so I cannot tell the whole story nor do y'all probably care. But suffice to say I am NOT his booty call. He and I have been friends for years. He doesn't do women like that, and he does spend time with me. I just feel a little left out, because I am unsure of why he doesn't really let me around his kids. and yes, his ex is convinced that he had an affair with me. Which is completely false, she demanded that he quit being my friend, and that he quit his job so he didn't have to see me at work any more. He and I were co-workers and good friends. When he refused to give up my friendship, and his good paying job, that was the end of their relationship. That was a little over a year ago. But she is still convinced that he and I have been dating for years.

single mom dating single dad Q ?? I'm a female with one baby who is dating a male with one son who is 3 . anyways me and him are the love of each other's lives and we both agree. we have had the emotional and spiritual connection that most people only find once in a lifetime. the problem is, his babys mother has threatned to take his son and move, so he has recently informed me that eventhoug he loves me and not her - he is going to move w/ her for the sake of his son. being a parent, i cant blame him ( evne though he could take her to court for custody) but i am very hurt. i think i might just tell him that im gettin back w/ my babys dad as well and that he's moving in. will this hurt him equally when he lveas? and dont say dont get revenge and all that. its going to make me feel better than coming off as the total reject. i hope u can understand and answer the questoin i'm asking. thanks i'm not actuall getting back with my babys dad. i just want 2 say it to hurt him.

He says he loves me. I ended it a couple of months ago but he said he would change, a week ago I had a small get together for my oldest childs birthday and he said he would come but that he didn't want to be around a lot of people (my 2 bros, their wives and my folks) so I told him to stay home. He says I never include him in my decisions. It was my childs birthday at my house, other than inviting him what else was I suppose to do? Is this just going nowhere?

Tips for dating a single dad?? Any tips for dating a single dad whose young child lives with him?

How come dating a single mother got a completely different response than dating a single dad? I asked if it was possible to get a b/fdate etc. as a single mother. Most people were like, learn how to cook, put out, try the internet (worst option). I saw a guy with the same question basically - is a single dad dateable and he got were resounding YES!!!!! Of course !!! and all this? That just proves my point. Im already doing enough. Make more money than him likely so represent a great future for some guy and my son is great, there is NO dad around. But yet people think I am looking for a 'daddy' for what? financial support? not. to help my kid? no. so....like what an old stereotype! Yes. they are still benefitting from the stereotyping they have set up for their own benefit whcih is all dying out and becoming outdated. Noone who answered HEARD the part where I said I make lots of money and my son isnt looking for a dad. Men still see themselves as providers and dads even when they have been left totally in the dust in that area and are not even needed in that area. Hmm, they dont know their role anymore. I dont think there are that many women anymore who still think of men as future providers and dads. The deadbeat dad refuted that and the male power structure is just failing al over the place. I REPEAT. THere is no aspect to my post or my situation where the man is to be the father. TO be honest. Most guys get MAD when they cant be the father. Unfortunately for them, most sons dont want some stranger for a dad and my son definitely doesnt/. The rewquirement is to be MY boyfriend, not my sons dad and not my financial provider.... how come noone 'heard' that part? See, right when s**t gets good the final tactic of the male is to just ignore the situation altogether.jeeez I love what you said superkitten. Dont get me wrong I LOVE guys and I love them as role models. They just arent AROUND. All Ive ever thought about the whole time i have been parent to my son is my dad and everything he stood for and of course my mom too. I am such as fan of guys, I modelled my whole life around guys, I have always been around so many guys thats why I am so sad to not be around them now, I MISS them. I cant even imagine how my son feels too but what can we do. As far as I can tell, guys dont want single mothers> anyway, thats why ive had to make it on my own and why i am so mad at them. It doesnt matter now anyway, i never get around peple i like cause the older guys are NOTHIG like how guys used to be. I dont even KNOW What this whole thing is about. I was 28 when I got pregnant and I havent been near a guy since. The oldest guy ive ever gone out with has been 22. You know what, sometimes I think I like my memories are all ill ever have and in a way im ok with that
