So i’m about to be divorced and I have kids. They are my life and I love spending time with them more than anything else I do.

Trying to decide my priorities moving forward and the kids are #1 no question. I’ll have to buy a new house and put up $$$ for tuition, which will take up almost 1/3 of my monthly take home.

Financially, what the frick should I focus on out of:

1. Counseling so i don’t go fricking crazy
2. Hookers and cocaine to keep the juices flowing
3. Hookers and cocaine so I don’t go fricking crazy
4. Saving extra bucks where I can for unexpected household expenses on a single income
5. Strippers and blow for entertainment purposes

Any single dads out there with tips?

TIA

Counseling is covered by insurance usually. Hookers will sometimes work for blow. So just buy blow, man.

Move to a state that doesn’t require you to fork out tens of thousands to put your kid in a decent school.

Louisiana demographics are the worst.

Focus on balance. Kids come first but don’t forget yourself.

Take your kids to the Park. Or out to do stuff.

You won’t need the hookers and blow.

You’ll have single moms and a Disney movie on real loud

Move into the cheapest place you can find because all your money will be going to your ex wife and kids expenses.

If the kids ever ask you anything about what mom said, just smile and say “well you know your mom” ...roll your eyes... “she’s probably right”. Smile and let it go. Smart kids will get that youre not going to say anything bad but understand you just did.

And kids don’t need or want quality time, they need quantity time.

Find a slutty counselor with Coke and solve a few of those together. Save your money.

I’m sorry. Thanks for being a good dad. I am married to an amazing one. Your wife is a moron...that’s all.

Edit-no blow or hookers...don’t risk your kids. Tons of single moms that will distract you from the divorce. Keep your nose clean and enjoy the strange.

When a parent says they are. "single dad or mom" the implication is that they are raising a child alone. 90% of the time they are actually just divorced and splitting custody.

Usually it's women who do it on purpose to sound like a strong independent woman who don't need no man. Annoys me.

Interesting thread but I think the OP is full of shite and made up this scenario/story. Just sounds contrived in his responses.

And true or not, single moms are where it's at.

First off, if you haven’t had your consent judgement finalized, get yourself the best lawyer you can find and work towards something financially reasonable. I managed to get 50/50 on kids and finances. It’s reasonable. We split time, school tuition, and extra curriculars down the middle. Doing it that way actually helps the ex and I get along much better vs splitting hairs in who owes what. My 2 cents.

If there is an inkling of a chance of reconciling your marriage, go that route first. Divorce is hard. It’s hard for you and it’s even harder for your kids. If it still doesn’t work, at least you didn’t go down fighting for what is best for your children.

Strippers, hookers and blow. Really explains the single part. How about love and take care of your kids and worry about yourself in 18 years.
