ive noticed on most sites that we enrol on you never see a box to tick to say that states you are parents or a single parent especially in dating ,adult dating or even swinger sites
as a single parent myself ive had to tick being single as theres no other box that would suit my situation even thoe ive got kids that i care for 24/7 except when i get babysitters or other situations
i place it on my profile to alert people of my situation but when i have spoken too some they sometimes neglect this fact as on my profile it states im single.
sometimes it can be awkward trying to read a pm or even speaking to them over the phone
i know theres parents on here and also single parents
and just wondering how many have come across this situation
I'm a single parent, and over the years have got used to having to explain the fact that it is not only mothers who sometimes have to bring up their children alone. I'm convinced that people assume that because I'm a straight male with children who can't accommodate but can travel, means I have a poor wifey at home who I am cheating on while she is stuck indoors with the kids. The fact that a couple of my kids are old enough to look after the younger ones while I go out from time to time never crosses their minds.
It's not a big deal, but I think there should be a single parent option on the profiles. Maybe one day!

I haven't had any issues in the last 5 yrs on the single parent front. Yes it can be a pain sometimes to read things on the site but i'm sure the children will go to school or sleep at some point? As for the bit i have highlighted, if your single then you will tick the single box.
Being that single parent is your privacy, I really don't think its necessary to have a box for the whole of swinging heaven to see it. If I want/look for a meet then I do it in the time I do have free(which isn't a lot these days) and if people have an issue with that, then its tuff.
