Single Dads are Pathetic Womanizers and Partiers? WTF!

Posted on June 29th, 2009 | 37 comments

Leave it to a bitter divorced woman to paint a picture of single dads that belongs in caveman days. A blogger named Lollie wrote an open letter to Kate Gosselin – Dear Kate, Welcome to Single Motherhood, where she spews venom about what divorced men are like.

I took my teenage daughter and son shopping for summer clothes the other day. There in a boys clothing store was a hot mother with her five-year-old son.

They turned deadly serious. “We’re both going through divorces [...]
