17 year old daughter and 12 year old boy. When they were babies or toddlers that was a great time. You don't think so at the time but it is. Would trade anything to go back to that time. Take plenty of pic's...0

My kids make me happy, we laugh, cut up, pull pranks on each other, go to the movies, play sports, go to the gym, to parks etc. We just have fun, I'm just a big kid on that side of it. But I do try to teach morals, manors, right from wrong, responsibility, dedication, work hard for what you want, never quit, and independence etc. They are why I'm here, I didn't just have kids to have kids or the mindset that I'm married now time for kids. I wanted kids, I love family, family is love unconditionally. The other guys don't know what they are missing. I've played sports and done things for myself and thought wow, but when my kids do the same thing like sports, school, life lessons etc. I was more excited when they did it than when I did, no comparison. Its called being a full time dad not a part time. Its a happiness that some will never know and thats sad. Sad for the kids and the dads that don't have that. I'm doing what I feel is right and it has nothing to do with anyone or anything else. I'm not judging others or critiquing others and I'm not saying they are wrong in their way of life. I just like what I'm doing and it makes me happy. I don't have all the answers and I make mistakes but I do the best I can. It has nothing to do with being single either. It might be a small family but its still a family. I know too much wrambling on, so I'll stop.

OhMyGoodness you could SO get a date with any of the girls on this list right now.. :melting: men with your perspective are so rare!!0 -
I get mushy all the time, I see her growing so fast and idk why but I become overwhelmed with emotions!
Me too! Every year with my son gets better and better. I know eventually he'll be a hard-headed teenager, but right now he's my amazing kindergarten peanut, learning new skills and just full of love and smiles. So there's the occasional tough moment, but the good times far outweigh the tough ones.
Becoming a parent has brought more depth to my life than I ever realized possible!!0 -
I totally agree! lol :-) huge hugs to zilla for being one of the good ones i hear so much about!

Hi, I'm Alexia. My son Jack is 3 1/2, and it's been just the two of us since he was about 9 months. That's about when I quit working out, coincidentally. Turns out you need some serious time management skills to get everything to fit in, in this game! Anyhow, I have been gradually gaining weight ever since, and when I got heavier than I ever was while pregnant, it was a reality check and I decided I needed to change something, although finding room to shift anything in this jigsaw puzzle of a life is... a puzzle

Welcome Alexia! :flowerforyou:
You're so right! It's a jigsaw puzzle trying to fit everything in... but hey... if it were easy everyone would do it! so at least all of us have decided to do something about it instead of sitting around complaining!:blushing:0 -

Hello everyone! I'm a single parent of a 4 year old little boy. I've been a single parent since he was 1 and going through all that I found myself slowly gaining weight so a few days ago I joined mfp. I've already lost a little. Now I just have to stick with it. But this time I'm determined. I want to be healthy for him and have the energy to keep up. 0

Ive been single since my son now 2 3/4 was 21 days old, my son was born 6 1/2 weeks premature and my ex husband was abusive towards him so I filed for divorce and my ex has no parental rights, so I am a full time mommy. I love my son to death and would do absolutely anything for him. He is my motivation in this journey. He is so active and I want him to stay that way and remain healthy so I know I need to make lifestyle changes now in order to set that example for him. Feel free to add me as a friend for motivation.0

I guess I'm the only full time single dad on here.
Not any more!0 -
I became a single dad when my son was 4 (almost exactly one year ago) and (you're all going to hate me) I lost 40 lbs from the stress of the split, the divorce, the heartache, and the sudden and total weight of the world descending onto my shoulders. . . I'm on here b/c now I've made it though that nightmare and rediscovered food! (and beer). . I've gained back about 20 lbs of the 40 I lost, so I want to get back that silver lining and stay fit. . I've also decided that eating right and living well has MANY benefits beyond just physical fitness, including mental strength, which all of you know is a must in our situation. . Anyway, that's my story.0
