I am a single mother of two active boys age's 5 and 2, when I look for a partner I tend to study the way they act around children,how they respond and so forth to what children do in very way, But also I think it would be wonderful to have a father figure for my children. I always worry and observe how they react around my children, If this man is wonderful and makes me feel like gold it doesn't matter if I am falling head of heels for him, my children come first...So this is my question instead of worrying so much and studing how they react around my children should I relax some until I see something to worry about???? Or am I doing the right thing???????

I'm intrigued to know what assets you looked for in your previous choice of mates if it wasn't the fathering attribute you seek now. Or is it now that you realise it was the most important asset all along?

Hi, I am a single mother of a 5 year old daughter.. I totally understand what you're trying to stay. After her father and I split up, I always thought.. "I need to look for another father figure." I didn't realize that I was looking someone for my kids and not for myself. As a mother, natural instinct would be to put our kids first but relax.. go with the flow for awhile. Worry about it when it comes along. If you find someone who is great, most likely, your kids will like him too and vice versa. Just always be open and honest.

I have to say that you are definately doing the right thing as i am also a single mother and i will not settle for anyone who is just there for me. I have to see a lasting connection between him and my children or it will never work!! Our children have to come first and you are a wonderful mother and your posts prove that!!
