Although, my kids father don't play a big role.....one is in California and the other in Virginia; however, my youngest sons father is awesome, when he wants to be. He calls his son on a daily basis, helps with homework (over the phone) and even helps me in disciplining him. Now, he older brother's father....in Cali....doesn't do anything for his boys. No calls..every 2 months or so and he sure doesn't support me with them. Oh yeah, he pays CS with is garnished from his checks, but I get more from my youngest than I have ever with my twin oldest boys. Its hard now in days to raise kids alone, let alone 3 boys....but with the Grace and Guidance of God.......I'm making it. ;-)

I feel lucky. I have a 4 month old girl. Her father tries to see her almost everyday. We are still together but we don't live together. I don't want to move in with him if he doesn't want to marry me. My concern is my child. I don't want to be in a situation where he tells me to get out and me have no place to go. I know a serious commitment from him does not mean we will be together for ever.

Hey ya'll. I'm 25 and a single mother of two wonderful girls, Jasmyne (8), and Emma (6). I had Jasmyne in highschool with my sweetheart-or so I thought- and then a few years later had Emma with the "man" I married. The wonderful thing is that both father's treat them equally. I seperated with my husband about 4 years ago and everything went downhill from there. However, thanks to lots of hard work and prayer I purchased my first home last Friday!!!! Jasmyne is my little Drama Queen Diva. She is very dramatic and always in the latest fashions. Of course, she knows who the boss in the family is (me). Emma is my little soldier. She is one tough chick, but she is definitely a momma's girl.

I am a single mom of an 8 year old girl. Her father has never been a part of her life. She tells her friends that I love her enough to be her mom and dad. I get a card from her every father's day. No regrets.

I am a single mommy of two little girls! My oldest, Kayla just turned 8 and my youngest, Makena just turned 6. They spend about 1/2 the time with their dad. He's not the greatest father but at least he is in their life. He would be great if his girlfriend wasnt in his life but we cant change that! I work full time and spend as much time with my girls as possible and try to be the best mommy I can be! Kayla developed AML-Leaukemia at 16 months of age and underwent a year of chemotherapy. This was after she had open heart surgery at the young age of 2 months old. That pretty much split up their father and I which was the best decision I made. Sometimes its a little hard but I remind myself everyday how lucky I am to have my girls and for them to now be very healthy! I thank god every single day!

hi i'm jennifer. i have 4 kids and my kids father left when times got too hard and we got involved in CPS and they asked him to do parenting classes and go into a drug treatment program and he didn't like people telling him he had to do stuff so he split. i think that was a chicken way out i feel like the kids aren't important to him because if they were he would have stayed and fought with me instead i'm doing it all by myself and it's taking twice as long. if he would have just said ok whatever you say i'll do so we can get the kids back we would have them back by now because he is the one with the great paying job and i don't have a job yet.

My older son, 12 years old, has some of his father's quirks, like funny faces he makes, the way he responds to questions sometimes, etc. Which I thought was funny because they stopped contact about 5 years ago, after not having consistent contact for like 4 years. So I thought how funny that he can be just like his dad without him having any bearing on his life. But then it struck me that the no bearing is bearing in itself. The absence is presence in itself. and his father's absence was presence in his life...like a sick little cycle of absence... It's wierd how a relationship, or lack of, can be so profound. Iused to thoink being able to raise my son alone was easier than having to raise him depending on someone else, or expecting to share the responsibility at east, but as my son becomes older, I started feeling like maybe not...there are just somethings a boy needs a dad for, I think. but hey! I like restling too...lol!! and who better to help him decide qualities in a wife?? lol!

I understand, my children's father isn't in their lives. He has only seen his son once, and his daughter asks about him daily. Some men aren't meant to be father's and the only thing I can tell you is he is your son, and you don't have to share.
