Aa
am i the only single mom on here!?
I'm not sad or upset I'm just wondering, I just recently chose not to dEAL with the father or even try to reach out to him anymore because he won't reply anyway lol well however I'm a single mom again at 36 and a half years old and im having my 5th daughter and 6th child. So are there any other parents on here thats like me share your experience please uplifting words only there's nothing wrong with being a single parent we can do it on our own do it on your own we have to stay together and stay strong!
I will also be a single mom and "first time" mom at 35. The father wanted me to abort then keep then abort it and right now we don't speak. So I am planning on doing this solo. Also I say first time in quoted because 7 years ago I got pregnant with my son but went into preterm labor and he did not make it. So I'm definitely not trying to add stress with a man that doesn't want to be around. Cheers to us stronger ladies.
I'm a single mom because the kids father and I don't live together and have never been married, but we are great parents. At first it was war, (court dates, restraining orders, child support) the whole 9 yards! We realized we didn't need the courts telling us what was best for our situation. I dropped my child support case and fired my Attorney and eventually with communication we were able to reach a common ground and put the kids needs before our own. We have a 14 yr old who isn't his biologically, a 5 yr old together, and I'm due any time now with our son. He's a great provider and a great guy, and will do anything for anyone, but we just don't get along as a couple. It took years for us to come to this conclusion..now we're best friends! It's not always easy, and he knows I will kick his *** if need be..lol Hopefully you all can co-parent together for the kids sake, eventually.
I'm a single mom of 4 never saw my life to be like this but you know wht I love each of them. I've learned along the way and I gave no problem doing whts needed to take care of my kids. I'm 38 and this will be my last child. The father claims he wants to be there but I know it will only last mayb the first month. He was one tht was someone else until something's happened and his true self came out. And it's a person tht I can't be with,he's tht man I said I could never be with. Either way I'll be ok cause I'm used to taking care of myself. We all must keep our heads up god always know wht he is doing
I was a single mum for 15 years, but I met and fell in love with my now husband so I'm not a single mum anymore. I loved being a single mum more than anything, the girls' father had nothing to do with them, not even a single phone call after I found out I was pregnant with #2, so I got to make all the decisions. It has been hard, I'm not going to lie (#2 is autistic) but I wouldn't change a day. I was here as my beautiful daughters blossomed into the wonderful young ladies they are, I have shared in every one of their joys and been here when they have struggled. It has been the most rewarding experience of my life.
I am a single mom with two children and this one due any day... There are hard days but the hard ones make the good ones much better. Plus i look at it this way: i get more hugs, kisses, i get to make ALL the boo boos better instead of some of them. Little things matter so much more
Wow, strong women on here. I'm glad you are keeping your baby. Definitely stay strong. I'm not a single parent. I was lucky to find a good man, even though late in life. I'm 38, he's 45. we married 2 yrs ago. We both thought it was to late to start a family and wished we had met 10 yrs earlier. Needless to say, that wasn't our time, but now it is. We have a 8 Week old girl and he just loves her so much! So just pisses me off when I hear a man not wanting anything to do with their kid. Pathetic. Good luck to you all. I know you can do it. There are good men, just have to find them.
I got my divorce of 16 years in June. My ex wanted nothing to do with my son. I have to beg him to visit with his son, but he doesn't ever try on his own. So I became a single mom of my 14 year old. Then I met my boyfriend who I now live with. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered I am pregnant. When I told my bf, he begged me to abort. I can't, no I won't do that, so now he's kicking me, my son, and our baby out as soon as it's born. Needless to say, I understand what your going through. It really has made me distrust men. Regardless, of my feelings, I plan to raise both on my own, so don't give up, ok? I believe God gives us only what we can handle.
Im goin to be a single mom to I just don't want anything from the father he haven't been there since I told him I was pregnant n doesn't want anything to do with my son he got other kids on the way besides my son he's a deadbeat he doesn't take care of any of his kids and I know for a fact it's like 7 or 8
you're not being naive at all your being positive and there's nothing wrong with that enjoy your pregnancy enjoy your baby! and have fun with it
I'm going to be a single parent too. This is my first baby and maybe I'm being naive but I really don't mind at all. I know i will love this baby more than anything and just tired of the empty promises and don't want my child to experience that if I can help
