Really single

[Steffany08]

My fiance has a son by his ex girlfriend and when people ask he still says he is a single father is that true if I have been helping him raise his child. I don't believe he is a single father. And it kinda pisses me off what do you think am I over reacting?

Does the kid call you mum?

 

[Steffany08]

Does the kid call you mum?

No I don't really think he should because he does have a mother and although she may not be a good mother she is his mother and I wont take that from her even if she isn't around........ I guess I'm a little weird but I'd be pissed if I had a kid and he was calling someone else mommy, but I guess if I didn't do my responsibility as a mother thats my own fault

no hes not a single father coz he has u, hes a lone parent (if its full custody he has)

i wouldnt say hes a lone parent either, my partner is helping me raise my daughters and loves them as his own, i dont class myself as a single mum/lone parent as im not single and im not alone in raising them

If he was a single father he'd be ''single'' - but he aint?

He's engaged to you, but has got a kid with another woman. I would go mad if my fella said that (If I had one) - He's a father yeah, but he's far from single. :s Men confuse me somtimes. . . Why would he say that when he knows he's not. :doh:

i agree he isnt a single parent a single parent is exactly as it states someone who is alone but he isnt he has you to help out and i think anyone who is willing to help raise a child deserves a mension i.e a family not single parent xx

I concider myself a single mom of my son...I have been with my OH for 8 years and have a daughter together but I'm the one who supports my son...my oh is a good friend to my son and maybe when we move in together (we are looking for a house to buy) I wont call myself a single mom...I dont know what to say hun ...
maybe you should talk to him about how you feel

i don't see him as being a single parent.
my 3year old isn't my partners, but i don't class myself as being a single parent. i'm not, i have a partner who looks after/brings up 'my' son as his own. myex is ok with this and 'gets' that that is how life sometimes works out and always says he's happy i've found somebody to loveme and to love 'my' son. i would never insult my mr.man by claiming to be a single parent my son refers to him sometimes as daddy and sometimes by his name, but he knows he has 2 daddys and again ex is ok with this. i am onlyclassed as 'single' when it comes to filling in forms as 'lover' isn't usually on thetick boxes... just single or married

I would say, if you living together then he is NOT a single/alone dad, but if your not living together then, I personally would say he is an alone dad, but not in any way is he single.

I hope that helps in any way
