cute little kid

Haha, I have the same thinking too. When I always carry my niece around, I still remembers, I have the feeling that people sees me as their mom. Because I truly always wanted to be a mom. In this society, challenging is coming more and more,mom seems to be so hard-working role, money comes next everytime in the mind. Hope niece and nephew grow up to be strong independents and lived happily with me. Thanks God for having them be with me for the time being. I always wanted to stay successful and earn enough money for myself in times of worries. Nice chatting. See you! Best Regards, GoldenSatin.Carol

First theirs no need to explain to someone that she is your niece etc. If a person like you, he like you. theirs no need to explain anything at all. Simple as that. I guess your sister is not married right? but as far as I know your sister can still file child support. I don't understand why the father choose to abandon his child. But your sister must not. Because she is the mother. No amount of financial problem can justify that. She choose that so she must responsible enough to take care of her. No amount of money can is worth the mother's love.

If a man doesn't want you because you are so open hearted that you are raising your niece, he isn't worthy of your time or you. You are going to be that little girl's heroine because of the sacrifices you've made.

Wow tess, you should serve as a model to many of us. Not all people would raise other people's child. You are very kind to take all the responsibilities in raising your niece. You inspire me. My husband also has a 2 year old nephew who stays with my husband's parents because the parents of the kid are both nowhere to be found. The mother of the kid just left the baby to my mother in law's custody. I have noticed that they would always bring that child to our place and many times, the child would call me "mom" which I am not comfortable. I do not want to cause confusions and I really do not have any intention of taking care of the child even though we do not have a kid of our own. I know that my statement may sound mean but that kid is so different from other kids I have seen. You can just tell the guys that it is your niece so they would already know. Raising your niece would require time and money and would really affect your social life.

Hi,i love kids,too.I think they are cute little angels and every parents wish they could grow up happily and be great person.But i really think that it is not easy to just raise them up.So that's why i'm so gratitude to my parents.I love them.

You should have no problem finding a boyfriend! In my country single mothers are very common and they have no trouble usually finding men. I know however there are many differences in Philippine culture then here in Canada but I am sure you will find a good one:) Many men might find it very sweet and nice that you are so kind hearted concerning the child. Good luck to you:) You filipina's have good hearts.

Oh how cute... I mean both of you. :-) There will be two possibilities that guys may think, they can think you are taken or they may also think you are adorable of they know your cute niece. :-)

If there is someone that walks by and you seem to like him (so to speak), you could always look at your niece and say to her: " Now girl, be good, and I will tell your mama to reward you later" or something to that effect. I am sure if the guy is also interested in you, he will be sensitive to what you say to her. Hope this works! :)

If you feel like you're tired nannying your niece, there's a lot of us here willing to raise kids. Of course you will find a boyfriend if you seek one. Try to wait, it will come in time-someone you deserve and who deserves your love.. To those 'guys' you are referring, it's easy for them to know if you're married or not-that is if they are interested. Good luck and say 'hi' to our niece!

Yes, you will find your love, in good time. Actually the fact you raise a child that isn't yours all by our own will tell them what a great person you are and that they can relay on you in hard times. And on the other hand, it will help you find out the people who are really serious about you, since the "playing" ones will be scared of a child...
