Happy Father’s Day to all the single dads out there!

Father’s Day used to be so darn sad for me. I’d wake up, open my eyes, close them again and wish the day away. But now that we live out here in in Cali, near my dad and step-dad, it’s not so bad.
What makes it all better are the single dad bloggers I’ve met through [...]

All I got for Mother’s Day was a finicky orchid…

And it already looks dead.
No really: I was so tickled when the Biologist showed up for our date the day before Mother’s Day with an orchid. So sweet! It’s the first time in his life that he has ever dated a single mom, and he gets an A+ for his sincerity and genuineness.

Help: How do you have a sleepover when your kid is in the other room?

If you think I’m asking you this for selfish reasons — you’re right.
It was so easy when I was the single mom of a wee little one, like Ms. Single Mama or Chrissy at Glamour.

I wasn’t going to write about Him in my blog because I’d already promised him that I wouldn’t.
But I can’t hold it in anymore.
I’ve never gone this long without blogging. Granted, I was in New York City last week, riding the subway up and down Manhattan with Mae, as well as meeting my go-getting’ new [...]

In 2005, as I was shopping around the proposal for Single Mom Seeking, I read this “Modern Love” column in the New York Times called “Who’s that lady in the bedroom, Daddy?“
I was giddy. At last, a single dad who told the truth about trying to date and parent at the same time! I wanted [...]

Update: Trey Ellis has a feature at today’s Salon.com –“How does a single father ever get laid?” that begins:
“I have two kids to raise, a dating scene to navigate, and a rubber vagina in my drawer. Bachelorhood is off to a rough start….”

Recently, I asked single moms, “What do you desire?” — and Kelly, [...]

“I’m always so tired of seeing articles about single moms”

UPDATE: What timing. Just after I wrote this post, four spankin’ new hardcover copies of Trey Ellis‘ memoir arrived.
Bedtime Stories: Adventures in the Land of Single-Fatherhood officially comes out on Feb. 5. I’m going to give away four copies — to two single moms and two single dads — who comment here in [...]

Tell me if I’m wrong, but there aren’t too many single dads out there writing blogs. C’mon guys, where are you? Speak up, please.
Trey Ellis, one of my favorite single dad bloggers, kindly responded to my email in 2005, after I wrote to him. I’d just read his brilliant Modern Love column in the New [...]
