On behalf of all the other single mothers out there who have busted their humps and either worked Godawful hours or 2-3 jobs sometimes to raise their kids; but, also, managed somehow to attend many--if not all of their little school and activity events--and feed them, clothe them, drive them to school ALL BY THEMSELVES as their ex- decided his "retirement" and partying was more important:

I just hope you are SINCERE when you say you are interested in REALLY spending more time and doing more with your children.
Guess I have just heard one too many stories from my other single mother friends about neglectful, uncaring ex's....... It would be nice if you were one of the sincere, caring fathers doing what he should do for his children. There are just too, too, too many of the other kind...unfortunately, from what I hear from other single mothers, the majority just leave and that is that. On with the party, I guess.
