Would you date a single dad ?

[Pinkmushrooms]

We are both in our early 30's. He has one child and I have two, he has his child full time and me too except EOW. He has asked me to meet for drinks ( we met for few playdates, our boys go to same class and we both have hobbiesin common, same semse of humour..) I really fancy him but not sure this can work put with both of us having the children most of the time, I don't want to hire a nanny every week ( not fair on my children) but I also don't want to meet with the children as I would like to know him well first and then involve him and his child in our lives ( and us in their lives).

Anyone had the same dilemma? Thank you.

Single dad here, I've not dated but I kinda assumed if I did it would be a single mum, simply as they'd understand the issues of it & realise kid has to come 1st, well assuming they are a decent parent anyway.

Although I'm a pretty old dad with a young un, will be many ladies my age who's kids have grown & flown & not sure they'd be interested in the young kid around again thing.

So it's a bit complicated territory no matter male or female I think.

Why should she get to take the child 😑

Because I think most people would agree a child needs a mum!

Yes.

Give it a try, see how well it works. If it's too difficult, you can always say it isn't working and call it to a halt.

And children need a father? you can't just uproot a child from their whole life, all they've ever known, their family, friends, father/ school, because of your own selfish desires! Thank god you don't get to make the rules.

Yes absolutely!

It's really decent of you to put your kid first when there are a lot of men who neglect their kids, good on you!
