I notice there isn't a thread for this,..yall please come share ya stories. Share what it's like to be a single dad and the problems yall face. No judgment, learn niggaz what it is.

Sucks that I gotta say this..I'm not trolling, this can be helpful for alot of us in general.
 
So I'm not fond of the words 'issues' or 'problems' when talking about parent hood

The largest challenge is time is if you have multiple children, depending on their ages.

I also had to learn and still learning to tone down with them, especially my son. I tend to forget they just kids at time and without another adult to counterbalance my sternness I come off tougher than I need to.

And being the only decision maker is a gift and curse
 
Sometimes its hard to turn Daddy mode off. Lol @ sometimes.

I'm always in Daddy mode because there's no one there to pass the responsibility off to. And it shows when I get around other ppl.

I was in the middle of a conversation with my s/o, full speech mind you, when I stopped, answered my daughter, and tried to pick up where I left off. It wasn't until she told me what I had done that it registered.

I don't attribute it to being a single dad, just a single parent
 
one of the biggest detractors can be the other parent in the dynamic

if you have someone that has made a smooth transition into coparenting, count your blessings

if you have someone who struggles with it, prepare to be miserable af for a while...well at least until you get to a point where nothing they do moves you anymore
 
Cosign what @Chi Snow said.

Serious relationships are hard because I don't like bringing women around my daughter.

I find myself doing things like getting pedicures, makeup shopping and having "girl time"with her to replace things she should be doing with her mom. Our bond is stronger because of this but she still tells me she misses having a woman around but the few times I tried to bring thing around they never seem to click.

Women find out I'm a single father with a 17 year old and get turned on and almost immediately start selling themselves on why they would be the perfect stepmom but in reality they want to juice a stable nigga cause I got my shit together.

Ive become a bomb cook in the process.... lol

I also understand the pain that single women go thru with raising kids with no support from niggas. Everything I do, I do with the thought that I have to get home to her at the end of the day so I'm never putting myself in any situation that can jeopardize it cause I know I'm off she has.

Lastly, i know I'll have empty nest syndrome when she goes off to school in the fall and probably end up with a dog or losing my mind
