Question

i have three young girls and recently have become single. which im happy with. but i worry for the future i dont want to stay single for ever maybe just a year or so. my girls are 1,4 and 7

Answer 1

Hi there,
There are plenty of honest, decent caring men out here who take on a lady and what she has.
I am in a similar position where I met a lady whose husband had died. She has five children.
I was aware of this when I met and don't love her any the less.
It has been extremely difficult because the kids couldn't get over the loss of their father and thought that I was trying to take his place. I told them I was insulted by this because I was an "addition" not a replacement and also no two people are the same and we are unique and that there is no way that their father and I are the same.
I persevered and eventually they came to accept me.
I think you will be OK and that you won't have a problem with your daughters as long as they realise that there daddy going away was nothing to do with them and that you had split because you and he just couldn't live together.
What ever happened between you and their dad should never become and issue with them because if you are negative about their dad in front of them at that age they will become confused as to how they should feel towards adult men and may make it difficult.
If you can pave the way for a future relationship finding a man to love you and your girls shouldn't be too difficult.
Good luck and have a happy future.
Just one word of warning (I have been told this by many single mum's) some men will think you are "easy" because you have children just be careful.

Answer 2

Thank you for asking that question. I recently became a single mom with 4 year old twins and a three year old. I believed no one would want to date me and take on this task as my children are part of the package and come first.

Answer 3

Seriously, I would take the time to just get use to being you again. You really shouldn't rush into any new relationships until you're sure that you are completely ready. to answer your question. I have on more than one occasion dated someone who has more than one child but I can see how some other men may react in a negative manner

Answer 4

kind of spooky, but if I liked the woman enough & income was ok for all involved & girls were respectful evev if not too happy abt. mom trying again.................. all right
but thats a lot of ifs'
the ages are ok now, but into teens is usually more difficult
for even if you are raising your own
these are most difficult years for most family life
however if everyone hits it off then it can all be a good trhing
but if children against such things
the relation has a poor chance in hell of anyone being happy

Answer 5

I'm only 23 and I would not date a mother of three. Maybe if I was older and not married I would, but not now. I'm not in to the whole pre-made family thing.

Answer 6

A lot of guys would love to be a part of your families life. Just be careful that you go with your gut feeling as I'm sure a lot would also take advantage of you. I would date someone like yourself for sure.

Answer 7

I would, but I advise you to find them through conventional means, not the internet. there are a lot of 'men' who would not have your daughters best interests in mind, if you catch my drift.
go to church if that is your bag, or join some social groups. that way you can get to really know them first.

Answer 8

Probably more than you think! Be honest when you meet a guy. If you're in your late 20's or older most guys probably figure you've got at least one.

Answer 9

Do not worry I would take tomorrow, if my wife would let me.

when the right guy comes along the he'll accept the girls.

Answer 10

THERE ARE MEN OUT THERE WHO ARE SINGLE DADS OF THREE....DONT GIVE UP HOPE OK
