Bedtime Stories: Adventures in the Land of Single-Fatherhood

Three years ago, I happened upon a “Modern Love” column in the New York Times called “Who’s that lady in the bedroom, Daddy?“
It was the first time I’d read an honest, open piece by a single dad who was parenting solo — and trying to date. I wanted to invite that writer, Trey Ellis, out [...]

One Man, Three Kids…

“Are you sure you want to [...]

Meet Matt, the new kid on the block

How to pick up a man. Any advice?

On the way back from the beach this weekend, my Latina single mom friend and I talked in hushed whispers about meeting men, as our girls played with their American Girls in the backseat. (We turned up Disney Channel by the way.)
Neither of is going back online this summer. I’ve given JDate a good hard [...]
