Sites Specifically for Single Fathers
You are currently at this site. It is included here as a service to myself for anyone "borrowing" these links. It's an attempt to receive a reciprocal link from anyone using my work.
Full-Time Dads goal is providing support and education for primary caregiver fathers, both married and single while providing outreach and encouragement for all fathers to promote fathers as active caregivers for their children.
Full-Time Dads believes that active involved fathers is an essential element in healthy families and society.

"To
support those fathers who have accepted the
responsibility of raising their children alone.
This site is not meant to compete with other fathers'
advocacy groups, but to support those fathers who are
actively involved in raising and providing primary
custodial care to their children. While there are many
web-sites and organizations dedicated to fatherhood in
general, this page is solely dedicated to single
custodial fathers and their children.
A lighthouse is something that guides us home. I started being a single custodial father over four years ago. I was lost, scared and had no idea how to "do it all on my own." My focus for this page, and hopefully, my contribution to the Internet world, is to be the place that I needed when I started on this terrifyingly wonderful journey. I honor all parents, single or partnered, Moms and Dads, but I think that I have most to offer to the Dads (single Moms are pretty neat too, though). I welcome Subscribes, suggestions for improvement and especially "hellos." My fourteen year old daughter and my nine year old son are doing well. Your kids are gonna be okay, honest. Welcome!
"Becoming a father is easy enough, but being one can be rough. On top of being a provider, protector and playmate, it is a father's job to be strong, but gentle; decisive, but fair; a friend, but still be boss. It is also a father's responsibility to see his children learn to use their abilities to the fullest....In the old days, father just paid bills and doled out punishments; now they give out discipline and love. Seeing a child do some serious mischief, Plato went and reprimanded the father for it. Then, as now, the ideal father enforced his rules by the credit of his life. However..."
"Welcome to all you single Dads and other parents out there! The only reason that I list the single Dads first is because I am one. I have nothing against single Moms or married Dads or Moms. I think anyone who parents in this day and age is pretty cool. All parents have a tough job, but the single parent faces a lot of special challenges in that they are the only one there to do all the work (and have all the fun!) We have to be both father and mother. I really admire anyone who is able to raise more than one child on their own. I only have one, and I often am not able to squeeze enough hours out of the day for everything that needs to be done."
"This will be the beginning of the adventures of single fatherhood. Follow the links and see if you see yourself. I welcome your Subscribes and stories. You'll find that I'm far from perfect and maybe, just maybe -- you'll understand - or rather relate to some of my adventures. Keep inmind that these were learning experiences that I would not trade for anything. Of course no one like to live through the pain of divorce (right?). This is based on my experiences and feelings so even though single mothers can and (hopefully) relate, I'm specifically talking about single parenthood from a male point of view - MINE! "
"Welcome to the
not-quite-real world of TV, where the norm appears to be
a bunch of single guys raising kids by themselves or with
thoughtful housekeepers.
What follows is a not-yet canonical list of Single Dads
on TV: the shows,the stars, the years; how the dads
earned a living, who took care of the kids, and the
circumstances in which they became single fathers.
Being a Single Dad myself, I am often too busy to keep up
with the modern choices of cable TV, and I am certain I
have missed many shows featuring Single Dads."
