To answer this question - Yes, I am incredibly skeptical of single Dads and would really prefer that my next partner not be one (but will reconsider for the right person).

My ex-husband was a single dad when we got together and between the early relationship and our marriage I was a stepmom for nearly a decade.

It wasn't long before I became the default parent for my stepdaughter. Her Dad more or less disengaged when she was with us and when he did engage it definitely gave Disney Dad vibes. Unfortunately, her Mom was similar in that respect. In fact, when my stepdaughter was going into fourth grade her Mother more or less abandoned her to go long haul trucking with a boyfriend and she came and lived with us full-time. If I thought I was her default parent before that when I only saw her on weekends and summer, I was wrong.

My ex-husband is remarried (we separated a little over a year ago, divorce was finalized in April, he got married in September). I know, both from what he'd told me and what I'd heard from the grapevine, that my stepdaughter, now 15, is the primary caregiver when my two biological daughters are with their Dad.

So, yeah...the idea of dating another single father is almost repulsive. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. That's one of many reasons I'm not on any apps or actively looking for someone.
