Hi,i'm r.w.,i'm a single dad and my daughter,she was 5 yrs.old when her mom walked out.I just want to say the stories are good and girls and women do need to speak their mind,and be truthful,and most are,i hope i can still receive emails&any time ask me anything,you or your readers want a guys view. I know being a single dad women,like at the malls/stores,etc. have been very helpful.I know at one time their was only,almost 25%of dads that would be a dad&i know what single moms go through,like day care,etc.,so i can relate alot.I do know girl's do/want a special relationship with their,dad,like go with them,here&their,so again thank you for the newsletters,cuz their good reads&i'll be sure to ask question's two,cuz i value a girls/womens input/throughts.R. walker. P.S. I do know their is alot of good women out their,most guys after a bad experience,are down on women,like a (anti-women haters club),but i'm different, i'm for one open minded&try to be a good dad,and tell my daughter i love her&give her a hug if she wants one.

What can I do next?

Welcome. There are some things you really need to understand about mamapedia.

1. It's not a dating site. You will not receive e-mails here - you can get private messages (PMs). However - this is NOT where you go to meet women for a relationship - other than guidance on child rearing.
2. Paragraphs and punctuation are your friends!
3. DO NOT use your FULL NAME. There was an incident a few years ago where MMP posted a thread to FB and used names and had the story ALL WRONG...
4. There used to be some nefarious people on this site that would go to facebook and other social media sites looking for people...it was not pleasant.

I'm sorry the W. you chose to have a child with walked out. Sucks. Sucks when women do that to their kids. You don't say how long ago that was. Did you get full custody of her? Did she give up her parental rights?

You'd be doing better by SHOWING her you love her by setting rules and boundaries for her and ensuring there are consequences for her actions when she breaks the rules and boundaries. Don't allow her to guilt you into doing things because she doesn't have a mom. (seeing that happen with one of our dear friends right now and she's a HOT MESS).

Good luck in raising your daughter!

Hi R.,

Welcome to Mamapedia. I agree with what B said. You must change your post (click the edit button) and take out all the references to your last name. You have a child and if you use your real name and real town, people who troll websites can track your child as well as you.

We have a number of men and have for years. You don't need to make all those statements about women to be welcome here - this is a parenting site and all responsible and respectful parents are welcome. We'll know whether you're a good person by how you answer so you don't need to defend yourself - we're not anti-man here at all.

And do, please, use paragraphs, punctuation, and so on so that your posts are as readable as possible. Spelling doesn't have to be perfect but it helps people understand what you're saying if you work on it. If I have a long post, I often write it in a Word document so the grammar and spelling are automatically checked (at least to some degree), and then I copy/paste it to Mamapedia. That also helps because sometimes you can get halfway through a post or an answer and the thing disappears! You'll be less frustrated if you take precautions, and you'll get better qualify answers because other members will be more willing to read what you wrote.

Welcome to mamapedia, R..

What is your question? If you read the Terms of Service? You will see that posts are supposed to be QUESTIONS...

I'm sorry that your daughter's mother walked out. I'm glad you stepped up to the plate and did what a dad/man should do.

This is NOT a dating site. You really should NOT use your real name nor even your full name...that's my opinion.

Good luck!

Hi and welcome!

It's a good idea not to use real names online for security purposes - just about any nom de plume will do.
Paragraphs, punctuation and capitalization all help to make your questions a lot more readable although I realize some devices are harder to work with than others.

Posts here usually need to have some sort of question that people can share answers and opinions.
We do have some men/dads on here - so you are not alone.

Welcome! Good job being a good dad. :) Any parent is welcome here...the site could have been called "parentapedia". You can come on and ask questions and get advice. Or you can give advice if you want to try to help someone.
