This is all very normal. I have three kids. Try to find a babysitter. Family or Friends and get some down time. Go out with your friends. A mini vacation on the weekend. You need to get out and get loose and vent a little with your friends. It wll do you a world of wonder.\n\nGood Luck!

Baby Girl that is the story of my life. I don't have a kid, but I still feel your pain. I am 23 ( will be 24 may 7) I am it college(graduate in Dec. 06) and I work for a Mortgage Company(Post Closing Manager). The only men that approach me are TI and 50cent wannabees. I carry myself like a lady. I know I do, but it still happens. I remember feeling like you. Then one day I spoke my mother's best friend. She told me what my mother has been saying to me for years. Straight out the bible. The word says,"So as a man thinks so is he." meaning. If you think it, keep saying it, and believe it, it will come true. So I started saying to my self, "I attract good, intelligent, men with common sense." It sounds silly, but I said it until I BELIEVED IT. It took a while, but it started happening. It will get better. I PROMISE, You just have to have faith. It is hard I know. I've spent every birthday and holiday alone. I am the baby of 9 Kids and all my siblings are either married or with someone they've been dating for Years. I'm always the single one and IT HURTS. I haven't met my Prince yet, but I know he's out there. In the mean time I'm going to enjoy these executives and professionals I've been dating. If you ever want to talk or chat with someone that you can relate to email me sista_w_class@yahoo.com.I'm here for you sister. Trust, I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! FOR REAL!!

I prefer to date any girl who is good @ heart, is helpful and sincere and generally has a good aura about her. I doesn’t matter to me if she’s a single mom or a single girl. Character is not defined by having kids. I however do think that single moms are more caring and compassionate as they have gone through tough times (possibly) and have kids to take care of as well. I’ve never dated one though, not that I won’t if I’m presented with the chance. The chance never came for me to do so.

Relax, it isn't all that hard.  Those of us that have been divorced have all had to go through this whole getting back into the dating scene thing.  In some ways it is like going to a brand new mall.  You have lots of options and are over whelmed at first but then over time you figure out what you are looking for and how to avoid the bad stores and get the best deals.  Your already online so that will make it easier for you to look into a variety of options ranging from chat rooms to dating sites such as yahoo.  The key is to remember, nothing has really changed in the dating world.  You still have to wade through a lot of toads to find your prince.  As for your kids, always remember you are the grownup and don't let them get away with thinking they have the right to control your life.  This is about you being happy and your life beyond them.  Hopefully you will eventually find the right guy and he will win them over.

It sounds as though your focus is way off, & possibly because you don't want to acknowledge the real reason.  A lot of single guys look at a woman with 2 kids as having too much baggage, & they would prefer a woman who hasn't already got her life so set in stone as you do.  Add in the 2 jobs & they don't see you as someone who would ever have much time to devote to them.  Then there's the cousin with 4 kids, which would be enough to make most men run from this situation fast, because they would know the only way they could get any private time with you would be at their place.\n\nI think a lot of us single men would appreciate a woman who was willing to work & make something of herself.  However, the bulk of single men will see your past as a detriment to any chance of a serious relationship with you because they won't want to play the stepfather role.  They have worked too hard to get where they are in life to want to take on the responsibilities of a ready-made family.  As for single dads, they may feel their hands are full with their own children.  Finally, all guys are going to look at the situation you have with your cousin as you essentially living in a zoo, what with 6 kids running all over the place.  She is part of the equation, because you will be judged by the company you keep, & they will wonder why you two have what they would view as such a screwed up life.\n\nYour attitude may also scare off potential suitors.  In your effort to make it without the aid of a man, you seem to have a prejudice against men which we can pick up on easily.  Most men don't like feminists, & when you accuse them of being intimidated by your life, & use phrases like "'knight in shining armor' attitude" & "man's world", your hostility towards men bleeds through all too clearly.  It is good you have achieved what you have, but your bitter feelings towards men would be the last excuse any man would need to turn tail & get away from you as quickly as he could.  You'll need to work on seriously adjusting this aspect of your attitude if you ever wish to have a successful relationship with a man in the future, & counseling may be beneficial in this regard.  Good luck, & I hope you can get your issues in order so you can find the happiness you desire.

I think some guys have a perception that a single mother is easy.  They think that they need help with their child and that they probably don't get or have had sex in a long time.\n\nFor the most part this is just that, a perception, and it is as you have said totally wrong.  Most single moms are very focused on their lives and because they are responsible for a child they are usually more self sufficient and careful than other single women.\n\nHopefully you'll find a guy that realizes all the great qualities that you have as a single mom, and treasure you for the gift you are and doesn't see you as some easy target.

You sound perfect - whats wrong you cant find a responsible single Dad in you area that wants the same - Im a single Dad and all the women I find want me to marry them right away and they all have asked to move in - thats why im not seeing anyone cause the moving in thing starts a fight no matter what. I just want my free time to spend with my kids

I am a few years out of a long marriage and have no desire to jump right back in...at first I was but the longer I am single the more comfortable being single I am becoming....and establishing finances, housing..activities doesn't allow me to consider settling down...its crazy enough doing the dating thing.

Try an online dating service, not here. Why do you insist she have children? Sorry but it sounds creepy.

I'm pregant and a mom of one with a hubby in the Navy, by the way I'm only 23 yrs old. Someone needs to cheer me up. \n\nThink about it this way your life could always be alot worse than it already is. And just because you have no one to go out with doesn't mean you can't go out and have fun meeting new people.

My husband and I haven't been on a date since the twins were born 22 months ago. When we did go out, we would go to our local steakhouse and get a corner table. We would sit an talk, hold hands and enjoy a nice quiet meal together.

it's totally up to you.  I too am an independant single mother and now that my 2 sons are both in college, I am proud and happy...it feels really good to answer to no one.  This is something that is personal choice, neither decision will be "wrong".
