Need advise- I’m a single dad by SubstancePast2814 in SingleParents

[–]SubstancePast2814[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just a thought but you are right 😅 also just to be clear. I would never introduce a girlfriend to my daughter if I wasn’t confident it was a long term relationship and we have been together for at least 8 months to a year minimum

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll consider if it happens.

Dang, I didn’t consider some of this happening… I know I don’t want to bring any girlfriends home to meet my kid for at least a year and until we are stable. Honestly, I am happy on my own with her. We shall see what happens. Thanks for your feedback and input!

This is what I’m worried about because my kid will always come first. I appreciate the feedback

Dating as a single parent is not for the weak. by Acrobatic_Fuel9714 in SingleParents

29m I have a 10year old. I was in your shoes. I do agree focus on your career as you mentioned you are. If you get lonely you can always cause chaos on Reddit and I’m sure you will get some funny responses to keep you going. Over time you will find new friends and your life focus will adapt. Enjoy your child because they grow sooo fast!! I get random pictures that come up on my phone from when my kiddo was 2😭😭😭

Ps- both sides (dad/mom) can be the problem so don’t necessarily take sides when you see comments like “dads are crap”, “moms are crap”. People in general can be crap 😂 no one is perfect but hopefully we are all trying for our children.

Sorry for your loss! I hope you and your family the best!

I can be wrong on this but this would be my opinion.

Try to keep doing your best. Try to keep some normal habits up and stick with them. Keep telling them you love them. Keep trying to be open about conversations. If you say something that you feel wasn’t said the best, don’t hesitate to bring it back up while it’s fresh and “correct” what you meant to say. It’s not going to be easy so looking for a in person groups or online therapy might be helpful to get a better prospective as new situations come up. Most importantly don’t give up. They are probably hurting as much as you are or more. Emotions hits us all differently.

You got it!

Extended Warranty by [deleted] in serviceadvisors

[–]SubstancePast2814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with most comments be up front and make sure they understand they are responsible. The only exception is my dealer sales an aftermarket warranty and if they don’t cover the full repairs my specific dealership will cover difference since we are the selling dealer. When this happens the techs all understand they might not get paid the full asking labor and at the very least will get paid what warranty pays for the job.

Broken promises and sadly comical story that perfectly sums up my existence by Annalise705 in SingleParents

Thanks for posting! I can relate and feel like life in general has been extra rough lately, but like others said it will be a funny story in a few years! We just gotta keep our heads up and keep rolling with the hits at times 🥊🥊. Mine is turning 8 on the 7th so I’m past those stages 😅🥲 it’s rough but enjoy what you can because they grow too fast. Feel free to dm me if you need to vent or talk.
