It certainly can be rough can't it. You are unique in that you have taken on the role as the single parent. It's usually the mother who takes the responsibility for the children. So I give you props and respect. I don't know about realistic responses to your inquiry. I don't have any family and no ties because my children are grown and I live alone and wouldn't mind being able to take care of a family again but this forum isn't a 100% telling and safe way to meet people. There should be dating services in your area that you could try or some other social setting like a school function or community group event. Be patient and someone will come your way and make you and your children happy and content.

You are one tough guy. 1) Call your library. Say you have a "research question." Ask if they have a Big Sisters program in your area. 2) Call the girls' schools. Ask to speak to the Guidance Counselor or the school Psychologist. 3) Take them to church. (Hmmm... your eldest son is about to be a driver...) Their class teachers will see what needs to be done, and you will meet a bunch of compassionate ladies.

this is sweet but you surely have your hands full at the moment dont you,,have you tried the classifieds? dont smirk,,not all people are losers you know,,some are women in the exact same boat as you but people dont think,"sweet" when a woman does the job,,just the men,,taking care of his kids all alone,,sucks doesnt it,but your time is undoubtably limited so why not try placing an ad or looking at one already in,,you get to say what you want and all about you so if you do meet,it isnt an uncomfortable experience,,just dont forget the pepper spray for those who wont take no for an answer,,(if it is good enough for the ladies,i say)

Sounds to me---like you're looking for nothing more than a housekeeper---nanny---laundress---
After 5 years of being a single father----just find a girlfriend----You have your house she has hers----VISITS-----
You're really asking alot from the possible female out there ...
There might be some woman out in the cyber land places that would jump at the chance to care for you and your children. Seek out the possibility at a singles church retreat or group. You just don't want any female out there to fill the MOM role!
My only advice to you is....think what is in the best interests of your children.....Maybe there best interest is NOT to have another parental figure involved. DADDY should date......but becareful what messages you send your children----Parading a string of women in and out of your house and BED is the wrong message you should be sending your children!
SECURITY, LOVE, TRUST---RESPECT!

As a single father (as I am also) I would suggest that your primary responsibility is to maintain an effective loving relationship with your children. Providing them with the love and security which will only help in thier development. Although this sounds endless, believe me when women get to thier mid 30's and they lay awake in thier sleepless nights thinking (Whats in it for me) will change to... gee I wish I could find a loving partner like your good self.
Please do not see this as a condecending statement but rather a positive outlook for the future. Focus on your children and the right partner for you will find you.

Join a singles group and make a profile of who you are and what kind of things you like. Mention your kids only once. Don't make it look like you are shopping for a babysitter. Tell the truth about yourself whether it be adult friend finders, BigChurch.com.
Good Luck

Try to find someone that likes children, but before that, you have to be sure that you like the person. Don't go out with a woman thinking to get a mother for your kids, but to get a woman for you. If she likes you, she will accept you kids, and they will accept her.

to start with get out & make new friends with no further expectations than that - if anything further is meant to be than it will follow.
get involved with your kids activities ( sports/dancing) ; find activities that you are interested in for yourself- taht way you will meet like minded people
