[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Midlife crises? I don’t know. It’s depressing. Now I find myself a single mom in midlife.

Any tips from those who’ve BTDT?

A friend told me to just go on dates and sleep with someone.[/quote]

You are fine. Do not panic. Men are useless anyway. Your life is better without them. [/quote]

Men are not useless. Most women need a man. And children absolutely need their fathers.[/quote]

Most fathers do nothing fatherly. [/quote]

I think you need to find a new group of friends. That has not been my experience. All the fathers except my exBIL  including mine, DH’s, and all my close girlfriend’s husbands, were great dads. All DH’s friends have been there for their kids even if their marriages didn’t last. [/quote]

My circle is half and half. [b]What I see is that it just takes one dad slacking off or giving up in a social circle to give all the other dads permission to do the same. [/b]Add in cultural differences or other things and it can be hard to surround your kids with positive examples of fathers. I’m really grateful to the dads of my kids’ sports teammates for at least giving them a glimpse of how things should or could be.[/quote]

One dad in our social circle is a slacker. One evening while we were all hanging out watching football he ignored his kids and his wife ended up taking them home. After they left the other dads all excoriated him. They said he should be ashamed of himself, he should be a more present father, he should be a better husband, etc. [/quote]
