Comments on: Single Parent Genie Gives You Three Lovers http://singledadlife.com/2010/04/26/single-parent-genie-lovers/ Single dads making a difference Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:49:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: kiwi888 http://singledadlife.com/2010/04/26/single-parent-genie-lovers/comment-page-1/#comment-8753 kiwi888 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 07:38:47 +0000 http://singledadlife.com/?p=3471#comment-8753 This article bummed me out and makes me wanna stay single. Having 2 sons (one disabled) keeps one busy. Most days I am too busy to notice the missing companion. But some days, I just want to have a conversation with another artist who loves movies...or go to a concert or a metro park. We've been on our own for about six years. My one son says he wants to pick someone for me. But other days he says he doesn't want to share me with a parent again. It's overwhelming to think about. It feels like any move you make will be wrong. It feels safer to remain as is. For the right person, I'd leave this comfort zone. I tend to think non-traditional ways. I've learned to take my time. One idea for my own family's needs is to keep our separate homes instead of moving in together. Maybe we'd consider a home together once my son was ready for college or his own place. My son with special needs is the most flexible! He loves having people around at all times. The more the merrier. I guess I take it back. I'm not bummed anymore. By writing this comment, I was able to think of ways to handle it. So thanks! I guess I should work on my whole fear-of-dating thing first....
