Any single mums of four or more who've manaaged to have a new relationship????

Hi,
Has anyone out there managed to have a new relationship even with four (or more) kids in tow 24/7? I'm feeling slightly depressed about my life today (am 39 with four kids under seven), so I'm hoping some people out there have managed to have a new life again and not just been "single mummy" for ever more...
Today I am feeling like I am going to be on my own for ever and ever and ever.... I can't see who would want to be with someone with four young kids and doesn't ever get any time off (no advantage of shared parenting here - my pathetic ex has spent a grand total of seven hours with his four kids in 2013). I have heaps of friends and I'm really active - BUT I only ever meet other mums. I've been dropped off the dinner party list since my ex ran off, seems I am now only good for girls nights and I'm not interested in meeting guys in bars.....
Any good news stories would be greatly appreciated. I need some hope!
TIA

I'd love to hear some good new stories too.
I've recently separated from my husband & i have 5 kids, im 33.
I have been asked out a few times whilst at work but they either run a mile when they know i have 5 kids or they just want sex, no relationship.
Its really disheartening to be honest.

I've only got one but my childminder has four and a gorgeous boyfriend! I haven't enquired too much about him but on the occasions I've met him, he has been nothing but lovely (as is she).

Definitely possible!

Great thread! I'm a single mum, 38 with 3 kids under 7 years old... Would love to hear some stories to give me hope!

My friend had 3 kids when she met her current husband, but then went on to have 2 more. I definitely don't want any more kids though!

I'm 35 with 2 DD under 3, I've been wondering the same thing. Come on...let's hear the good news stories......

I'm also single with 4 kids. Not really sure I want a new man, I really can't see how I could find the time to devote to a new relationship without my kids suffering.

There is that, switchedtoeatingbutter... Any relationship I have will have to play second best to my boys. It's so much easier for the men isn't it! I guess it gets easier the older the kids get.

Having said I probably don't have the time, I would (kinda) like to meet someone. But in reality someone who doesn't have kids will either want to have some (I think 4 is more than enough for me) or already have kids, In which case we could easily end up with six or more kids between us.

I think my solution (at the mo) is to not actively look for someone but if mr right had to appear them great. But I think it would be more of a fortnightly dinner and shag than anything else!

Does anyone even manage to have a fortnightly dinner and a shag???? A shag would be very nice - its been a long time!

Haha that would be good wouldn't it!!

My cousin was telling me about her friend who has 3 boys... She's just got married to a bloke with 3 girls! Don't know if they all live together lol.

Nothing for 5yrs here, and I only have 2 dc's. The kids and work have to come first, no one will look after them in the evenings so I'm stuck.

It's very hard, I rarely talk to men and I only have one or two evenings out a year.

Someone needs to do single parent speed dating where we can take the kids .
