Single Fathers...The Forgotten

Now we all know that there are a TON of single moms out there..myself, i'm one of them and sometimes it's been a struggle, but at the end of the day my kids are my most valuable asset in life.

The thing is this, there are a whole other form of single parents out there that don't get the recognition. I'm talking about single dads.

Now anyone that watches shows like Maury is freaking about about now, but the whole truth is that there are millions of single fathers out there that are going through the same things that i myself have gone through raising kids.

So why haven't we had a parade for the daddys of the world? Well, because of shows like Maury. It kind of makes you laugh when you hear "You are NOT the Father", but how many men have stood up to the responsibility only to be shut down? The numbers are too much to deal with. Now don't get me wrong there are men AND women that have kids that they won't even buy a card for because everything is more important, but there are equal numbers that pace the floors at night worried and wondering how and where their children are.

Believe me, i've been there with the anger towards the other half, but when it came down to it the kids were alot more important and i forced a smile during visitations.

If i had to choose who is the best man to be with in this day and time, it would be a single father that's activly involved with his children, because no shirtless man in a magazine can compare to the appeal of a man with a heart.

No one ever thinks about this breed of man that puts the kids to bed, takes them on outings, reads them a story, makes a bottle, yeah, that is the definition of sexy to me.

So maybe we should pay more attention to Father's Day as much as we do Mother's day. Honestly people, they are working just as hard, loving just as much and sleeping as little as every single mom that's out there.

We all need to show them more support and stop pointing the finger thinking they are all deadbeats because the relationships ended.

They are The "REAL MEN" all single women out there are searching for.
