I simply avoided the conversations of dating, marriage and men! One day I decided enough was enough.
Single Parents Lesbian Personals
Lucky for me, my wife was just as concerned about the well-being of the kids as I was and she went along with whatever I thought was best for them. Yet over the course of those months, the invitations from the other mothers started happening less and less. The conversations about the kids homework or who was taking who home after practice started dwindling.
Pretty soon the only contact I had with these women was a wave from across the parking lot. There was a part of me that was disappointed in the actions of the other mothers. But it had been bearable when I was in denial about my sexuality. Additionally, I had almost no self-confidence. So when my ex and I split, I was suddenly a gay, unemployed solo parent who felt as out of place in my community as an elephant on a dairy farm. In fact, I thought a girlfriend was exactly what I needed—someone strong who could balance us out, someone who was better than me.
But until I found her, I was going to have to do my best to create a stable, happy home for my kids. And who was I to blame them? We moved from our small town to New Orleans, where I felt more comfortable being openly gay.
As the kids got older, I got out more. My self-esteem improved, and I began to like myself.
But there was still one thing hanging over my head, and it hit me last fall on the day of the baby shower. I looked over at the expectant couple, Naomi and Emily, sitting on the couch.

They were each talking to other people but were sitting hip to hip, so comfortable with each other, as Naomi rubbed her swollen belly in a tender way. Now they were having a baby, and their family would be four. After seven years of awkward dating and failed relationships, I felt a surge of jealousy at how easily it seemed that Naomi had a great woman come into her life.
She had exactly what I wanted: Someone to talk to and figure things out with at the end of the day when the kids were asleep. Seven years into this Solo Mom gig, I was exhausted.

I was tired of trying to figure out everything by myself, of days in which making everything work meant I had to be in four places at once, of moments when I felt lonely and not just sexually frustrated but really wanting a kiss. But anyway they arent interested. And I find it even harder to "come out" feeling so alone in this situation. I am so glad someone pointed out that you CAN be with a man for a long time, have kids but just scared to "come out" even though you are horrified at the thought of sex with a man and have never felt right in your relationships with them. This was me all the way around.
My kids dad knew this, I guess all of them did after you end up trying to explain why you are repulsed by intimacy with them not wanting to completely hurt them. So Im out here too. I guess its just harder to meet people like us cuz we are home with the kidlets.

5 Great Online Dating Tips for Lesbian Moms
I'm out with all the new people I meet and with all my online friends. I normally don't talk about relationships with my family so they don't need to know who and what gender person I'm dating until something becomes serious. Weird how they didn't even make eye contact with you?
I don't often see lesbian couples out and about. Ya, I definitely go below people's gaydar now. When I had short hair and lived in the gaybourhood in Toronto everyone could tell. But now I have long hair, live in a small city, and tote a baby everywhere. The other day I smiled at two women holding hands andthey didnt even make eye contact.
Didn't say that of course: LOL I'm out in my life, everyone knows I'm queer. I just don't look it on the street. Hello, I am a lesbian planning to get pregnant soon, so not a mama yet. I have a partner at the moment but when I have the babe we will still probably live apart and I will be doing the majority of the parenting.
But that may change as time progresses. I also find the you don't realise i am a lesbian thing kinda funny. I was looking after my nephew a few weeks ago and got chatting to a lesbian couple in the health food shop. They assumed that he was mine poor child looks very much like me!
