Re: Single with 4 kids!?! AfterMath: [quote author=amola link=topic=18565.msg165525#msg165525 date=1126493429">
oh boy....
i am right there with you.....i have 3 wonderful kids who are almost 6, 4, and 15 months. had all of them with my now ex-husband. started dating after our divorce, and got pregnant. i'm now about 19 weeks along, and the baby's father is gone (actually, he's with his OTHER girlfriend, who is about 10 weeks along...but that's a whole 'nother story).....
anyway, i was scared to death that no one would want me. especially being pregnant. so i figured well, ok, after i have the baby maybe it won't be so bad to try to date.
but.....it looks like my situation might be changing.....there is someone out there who is willing to accept me and ALL of my children.....and i can't even begin to tell you what an amazing feeling that is.....just take your time.....
yes, there are going to be guys who will run screaming the other direction when they find out that you have 4 kids. and those guys aren't worth the effort anyway. but somewhere, there is a guy who is perfect. and you'll find him when you're least expecting it...

Re: Single with 4 kids!?! Suddenly Single: My boyfriend said a similar thing a year ago...who would want a balding, thirty___ year old with 3 kids.
I did and still do. ;D
There are single people out there with no kids that will not run from someone with children.
Re: Single with 4 kids!?! tyrogers: I didn't think anyone would want me either. After all, what man wants to get involved with a woman with two children and two ex husbands? As you can see, it all works out. ;)
Chin up. There is someone out there for us all. Regardless of our "baggage". Love is love. You overlook the past and look to the future.

The thing I discovered when I re-entered the dating world was I had more in common with single moms then I did with single women. We simply understand that children come first and that they have to be taken care of.

I'm finding this to be very true. In addition to the understanding the Bubba mentioned, single moms and dads also have more *respect* for the person who is raising the children -- they know how hard it is, and when you're raising healthy children in a positive manner they want to be around *that*.

P.S. Find a babysitter :)
Re: Single with 4 kids!?! Shanna: I didn't think anyone would want to date a woman with 2 kids and a minivan, but they do....don't worry there are plenty of men out there who will accept you no matter what you bring to the table.
