Well I would rather not date them but since I do not want more kids and I want a marriage, I should not be dating the guys that do not have kids I suppose.

I can afford to buy a house, actually already own one that can accommodate my family, but certainly cannot afford to buy a 5-6 bedroom house.

Unlikely. People have "types" and "deal breakers" for a reason.

I get up at 5 am every morning for work. By the time I get home, do homework, feed the kids and pets, the only drink I want is a cup of coffee on my couch, not to meet in a bar.

Seriously, I have two kids. If I meet a man with 2-6 kids (4-6 kids extremely common for some unknown reason), how will we ever buy a house to support such a large family? The men are to broke to contribute to that kind of expense.

Feel free to add to the list.
How about I bash on single moms?

1. They are looking for some guy to pay their way because they are too broke to do it themselves.

2. They always have their kids, not just on the weekends.

3. They constantly complain about their ex who isn't paying enough child support so they can afford new clothes for themselves.


That list could go on and on, too.

Maybe if many single moms hadn't decided to pop out a couple kids after being with a deadbeat, they'd have a better life to begin with. What goes around, comes around.

Bingo!

See #1 in my list above.

The lack of self-awareness and introspection here is really staggering.
I do not collect child support, which is why I do qualify for assistance, which is really not much in reality.

My financial picture is not your normal stereotypical single mom. I do have money in the bank, do not live paycheck to paycheck, have no debt except mortgage and car.

I do fine supporting my own kids. I do not want to have to pay all the time in order to date a man either. I want a man that can bring something to the relationship.

I do not want anyone to pay my way. I won't even commingle funds with a future partner.

After 11 years, I am over complaining about not getting child support. I do not always have my kids. I have parents and babysitters and can make time to date.

I'm not a dad OP but I wouldn't date you, because I'm not beta.

You qualify for assistance? You mean public assistance like welfare?

After reading all your posts I am beginning to think you don't really want a long term relationship
