The Invisible Mom–Building Cathedrals

NOTE: Dads do this too, but I will let it slide as a “mom” piece. Author unknown. It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I’m on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I’m thinking, ‘Can’t you see I’m on the phone?’ Obviously not; no one can see if I’m on the phone, or cooking, or sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner,…

Kiddie In The Middle!

Here’s our first guest blogger!  If you are interested, please let me know! (JWF) Why is it that my ex always wants to put the kids in the middle of what should be an “adult” conversation? She never fails to get a snipe against me in front of the kids and it really ticks me off. What she doesn’t realize is that the kids see it, know it, and realize it, and honestly resent her for it. My son was in one of his “gimme” moods as all kids are…

Power Struggles

The more I talk with single parents the more I realize that there is such a power struggle between moms and dads putting their kids in the middle. Maybe it is outdoing one another on vacations. Maybe it is the Christmas presents. Or maybe it is just being the “cooler” parent. I know I have experienced it several times in my own experiences and I am sure I am guilty (as much as I hate to admit it) to a point as well.  How much of a problem is this…

Single Moms–The Root of All Evil

Earlier this week, Ann Coulter went on the Today Show with Matt Lauer to promote her new book. Of course, Ann is never one to shy away from controversy and her latest gaffe is no exception. Watch this clip. She feels that single moms are the cause of all that is bad in the world–I guess us single dads escaped this time!  What do you think?  Let’s discuss! If you want to check out some more opinions from a friend of mine, Rachel Sarah, on MomLogic!…

Dating, Kids, and Introductions

As a single parent, when do you introduce your kids to a new “significant other”? I have read all the theories about children becoming too attached too fast to a new boy or girlfriend, but does that change with age? Does it make a difference if you have 100% custody? My basic rule is no introductions (but they might know about her) until I am sure that it is something more than a few casual dates. However, I have also broken the rule a few times when my kids knew…
