If this were on Facebook, I’d like it. Yeah. Can totally relate. I believe @ZenMommy would call that “raising a dad.” Not interested. The depth of emotion that comes from having a child cannot be matched.

Oh, wait! At first I thought the title was “Why I don’t date men WITH children” and was all into it. Ha! Ha! Just kidding.

Thank you for this great story. The parent-child bond supercedes all else, and I have found the same thing – it is impossible for a nonparent to really understand. I have yet to find anyone in the dating world who wants to touch my journey with my child’s life-threatening illness with a 10-foot pole (even though she is perfectly healthy now and thriving – it’s just not something parents want to have to think about).

Yeah – I think it’s that you want to know they know what you feel..that inexplicable connection…I’ve found it easier to date men with kids too…though the others tried and were understanding, it’s just not the same if you don’t have kids…
