I have 2 children myself, a 2 yr od and a 6 yr old. It does get hard to have a social life, but I keep my chin high and know that my day will come one day. U too will have your day. God will put someone in your life when the time is right. The hardest part is waiting on his time...u'll get there, I promise.....

I am 42 and raised my 5 kids alone for 5 years and still have my 2 youngest daughters living with me.
It is almost impossible for me to find a girlfriend.
I wish you luck.

It is hard being a single parent raising kids. I am a divorced mom of identical twin boys. They will be four years old next month. Just found out this week they have autism. We will make it through this, especially with the Lord's help. Hats off to all single parents (moms & dads). God bless each of you.

I am also a single mother of 2 teens ,somedays are better than others.I feel bad for those of you with young children,they require lots of attention.
But I will tell you this, it does get a little easier as they get older.
I do believe that when you do meet the right person they will be understanding of everything in your life ( even your children) SMILES .............and remember you are special and strong ,deserve nothing but the best, never settle for less

I think thier is a double standard among many women out there. It is expected rgat a man accept a woman with children (i most certainly do). Yet when they find out a man has has children living with him they seem to back off - If a woman cannot accept the fact i have my daughter living with me or it scares her it is a very clear indication of the type of person I highly doubt a real relationship would be able to flourish. I hope women have open minds towards the men who stood up for thier childrens rights to a promising & healthy lifestyle & succesful future it really does say a lot about our character as people becuase courts really do favor women & it took a lot of determination to insure my daughters safe upbringing. My custody battle had been a real mess when it should have been a very clear cut case - but they give people chance after chance to prove they are ok to be a parent & to have the determination to carry through all that. I now know so much more about the real person I am & my new better half would only benefit from it as well.

Amen I think half the guys are scared off because I do state I have my 3 kids living with me. I also do have free time on the weekends when they see dad but most dont' seem to care, just that I have kids! I know that someone out there understands. I would also date someone who had kids with them, I think they would be most understanding of what I have been through.

Ive been a single mom for abour 2 years now, and I have to agree that it is very hard to find someone that doesnt mind your child being involved with your relationship. My little girl is a part of me and whoever wants to date me will have to lover her in oder to love me. Thats just the way it works. Any guy who wont give you the time of day because you haev kids isnt worth your time in the first place. Just love your girls with all you have and eventually love will find you. Just give it time. Good things come to those who wait

i know exactly how you feel!! this is really hard, its the biggest blessing in my life and at the same time the hardest thing i have ever done, i am a single mother of 2 children ages 3 and 9, my nine year old is easier to take care of , but my 3 year old takes up all my time, he has no father in his life and its just me and him 24/7, the man i meet would have to understand and accept this. i havent found that person yet and i will not bring around a guy who just wants a friends with benefits deal because i dont want to confuse my children, so therefore right now im alone, focusing on making them happy...

Being a parent in itself is difficult, but being a single parent is twice as hard because we are having to handle both roles. But look at the positive...it makes us who we are. If we are devoted to raising our kids with morals and values and doing what's right and the challenges that comes with it, it makes us stronger people and more understanding about life compared to the rest of the population. But yeah, it would be nice to find someone who can understand the challenges we face, respect us for being committed to our role, and know that sometimes we just want to feel like a human being and not a super hero all the time!!!

Being a single parent is hard, but it also makes you a stronger person. If a guy cant accept the fact I have 2 kids, theres the door!!!  I take my girls out and do things, and just have fun. Not going to sit around watching life pass me by because I am a single mom. I get out and live life, and if by chance I meet someone out and about doing the things "we" are doing, it could become a great thing. This weekend "we" went out to the Mesquite rodeo, guys had no problem flirting and talking while my girls was with me. Than we headed out to Hurricane Harbor and it was the same thing. I know somewhere out there is a guy thats meant for me. Time will only tell

I def know how you all feel =\ Being a single mom is hard but it def has its rewards. Double the Hugs and kisses. I do wish I could find someone who doesn't mind the fact that I am a single mom by choice. The first thing guys I have come into contact with think "oh you are adopting...well all you are lookin for is a daddy then" That's just not the case. Yes I am adopting because my son deserves a good life. He deserves to be loved  even if it's just from one parent. One parent is better than no parent.

heck yeah its hard, three kids, one is grown, two are teenagers that live with me. That means I usually have a house full of teenagers, and most of them call me mama. Then I TRY to have a social life and they want to be ALL up in my business. It is sweet, because they want to get to know the person I am talking to, but at the same time, I get no privacy, AT ALL.
