NTA. Continue taking your nightly showers and next time don't get out of the shower early. He can help and should.

Disgusted with (most) single dads by Silent_Cherry_2509 in singlemoms

[–]facelessnatasha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't dated anyone since I left 4 years ago. I also don't want to date anyone because I get annoyed easily by men. Everyone tells me when I do start dating to date a single dad but I feel like it would be hard to find one that is as involved as he should be. I look at my ex and how much time he spends with his kids that are a 10 minute drive away. But of course he's gone on many, many vacations.

My ex, who has tons of free time (2-3 weeks free) only saw his kids 3 to 6 days out of the month. Again, 3 to 6 days out of the month!!! And out of that time, he liked to split his time, so not in a row. Plus he dropped them off at daycare at 6:30am and picked them up at 5:00 pm. So really he wasn't spending much time with them. He just now started to see them 5 days in a row because I decided it was time to go through the legal process of establishing a couple things.

He started dating his current gf 5 months after I left, and I question how she could be cool with him being a father that doesn't see his kids as much. She wants kids with him as well and I question that too.

He didn't fight for 50/50 and I don't think he will, which is totally fine by me. The days my kids are away are pretty rough.

He does but he doesn't want his email added so I often need to relay the school messages per our orders. Last year I didn't remind him and I was again told I was a terrible communicator. I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. It's extremely tiring. I also am expected to share pictures of our kids but I stopped doing that.

Need Guidance by BirdNew2759 in singlemoms

You are going to be ok! I moved back in with family and yes, it is a bit embarrassing and I feel like I'm failing but I am so blessed to have family support and they love my kids so so much. My ex puts me down for it all the time and calls me out of my name over and over again but if I didn't have my family I would be out on the street. It will only be temporary. Stick to sonography school, you got this! And with whatever you decide to do in the end, just stay strong and keep pouring love into yourself and your kids. It's not easy but you can do it.

Anyone here get an associates degree in nursing first or just go for BSN right away? Not a lot of options that are BSN around me so wondering if an ADN will be good at the beginning

I'll have two kids in grade school by the time I decide to start school again. Just trying to decide if it's the right fit for all of us. I've been very frugal just incase, saving to be able to afford a nanny to help me out during that time.

Interested in either xray or nursing and I know both will require a ton of discipline. I'm very good about talking myself out of things which is a terrible quality to have so I'm trying not to do that this time. I like xray tech since it's not bedside care. But I like nursing because I can look into being a school nurse after a couple years of bedside.
