I have been divorced for 4 years now, and both of my kids live with me. They are the best thing that could have ever happen to me. I believe family is one of the most important things in life.
I know with out these two I would have been I different person (not a good person)
I want to date, but the last lady I took out a few times told me I spend to much time with my kids. How dating has changed! Anyone have advice about dateing for the single parent?

She said WHAT to you? That you were spending too much time with your kids? I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at such a ludacrist comment! How can a parent spend too much time with their children? Oh.... I get it... you must not work... you've taken the whole "my entire life revolves around my children" a bit too seriously because instead of working, you wait at the bus stop and get on the school bus to ride with them to school each day, taking turns between their classrooms. Have the teachers allowed you to sit your chair right next to theirs, or must you remain in the back of the classroom? 
Seriously though... unless you're not allowing your children to breathe without your being present to witness it, you're not spending too much time w/ your kids. My only suggestion would be to invite your lady friend and her children to join you and your children.

I'm sooo sorry to hear that someone told you that. I'm looking for a man with his kids living with him! Maybe your lady friend meant that you don't spend enough time with her? Perhaps she was jealous that your kids got time from you that she wanted.

Gee! What's up with her. Any woman, especially me would be happy to date a man who spends alot of time with his kids. It shows just how much character he really has. To bad I live so far away.

even if you did spend too much time with your kids they come first and if anyone ca'nt see that that you really don't want them in your life.Family is always first priority.

My advice is to keep looking. You found yourself a HM lady (High Maintenance). You don't want that....be honest, tell woman up front how much time you do/don't have to spend with them. There are plenty of women in the same boat as you who would welcome a relationship with a devoted father.
Keep the faith and don't settle.

Bottom Line you come with a package! I know they're teenagers but there your kids for LIFE!! Any woman that has a problem with a man spending time with his kids is definately not relationship material! There's no COMPETITION WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE GIRLS!!

Well I would not date until the kids are out of the house and on there own. They need your full attention. The lady that said you spent to much time with your children for sure isn't for you. If you want to raise some respectful adults just wait... If there both 13 its only 8 years till there 21. Don't rush things as there only young once...
And that's my 2 cents worth...

Its really too bad she said that. Heck I would like a man that spends time with
his kids then he wouldmt mind my spending time with my family.
Oh here is one find a lady that loves kids then do things as a group hers and yours
together go on dates together as a group.
I know by me that would be alot of fun. Geez my guess that was just
her excuse to bow out without her hurting her own feelings.
If a person has children (in my eyes) thats the package. Sorry if some
dont agree.
I hope you find better.
SMILE have a nice weekend.
