Mothers Month Roll Call
23
Tue, 05-02-2006 - 8:44am

It is almost Mother's Day!! And I see so many new and happy faces here. It is spring in most places and even as warm as summer in some.

It would be great to get a roll call from everyone so we can all see who is who around here. Let us know your name, approximate age, genders and ages of children and your general location. Also add in some info on how long you've been a single parent, and your current dating status or dating history.

Name: Lisa
Age: 31
General Location: Ontario, Canada
Children: DD7 and DS3.5

I have been a single parent for 2.5 years and I am not dating anyone seriously at this time. I am enjoying meeting people and developing friendships and flirting when desirable. I am looking forward to a time where I can enjoy a serious relationship but until then I am having fun with my life.

Taina- 44
Daughter, 27(DGD-6)Son, 23(Wife expecting baby in June) Daughter, 12
Staten Island, NY
I've been a single parent 10 years now. In 10 years, it took me 3 years to go out on my
first date. I had one boyfriend for 1 year(used me and broke my heart, lied about being over his ex); took me another year to date again(I'm a slow healer). Went out with the next one 3 years (an odysey through hell-he was super needy,clingy, I basically was his
mother most times). I broke up with him 2 years ago and went out on my first date 6 months
ago, met him on Match (the guy turned out to be a total creep). I've given up on OLD and have zero social life, so my chances of meeting anyone are zilch. As a result of a lifetime of bad experiences with men, I have absolutely no desire for a serious relationship nor do I ever want to get married or live with anyone and I'm ok with that.
Through hard work and therapy I have come to really like and understand myself and I do my best when I am by myself. Don't get me wrong, I miss having fun with men, but that's just about it. I have zero tollerence for mancrap and don't want to deal with it on a daily basis, but I wouldn't mind having a special FWB :-)

Tina (but you can call me Moody, especially right now, since I'm quitting smoking), 25

Mommy to Princess Spasticka who will be 5 in a couple of weeks, and Android, and he's 7, we live in the boonies in upstate NY.

I've been single from ex-h for almost 5 years, and single from my last serious relationship for about 7 months. I'm serial dating now for the first time ever, and loving every minute of it, but looking for a serious relationship. If I don't ever find someone I'd want to commit to, I honestly think I'd be okay with that- I'm so in love with myself and my kids and my life right now.

Stephanie-42. My DS is almost 15 and DD is 10. We live north of the DFW area. I have been divorced for 4 years. After a very long time without having anybody in my life, I finally met someone. Things are going very well and I couldn't be happier. After some really bad dating experiences it was a very big (but good!) surprise!

I'm a 40ish female, raising 4 wonderful sons on my own, ages 20, 17, 16 and 16.
Like Moody, I live in the boonies of upstate NY.
I've been on my own since '98 and although it has lonely moments, I'm not settling for another jerk.
I date occasionally, most of them are nightmares but I've made a few new friends and life is good :)

Hey- be10der, which boonies are you in?? I am near Binghamton and Syracuse, sort of, only they aren't that close, since I'm in the boonies, hehe. They're just basically the closest cities anyone's ever maybe heard of.

I've been a single parent since my son was born, since I was never married, nor did his father ever put in any effort, even when we were togeather. Was not in a relationship for nearly 3 years, then met a wonderful man in September of last year. We dated for a while, and made the relationship official in February this year.
