When my children was 3 and 4 years old... In England it’s unheard of for man to look after children of this age especialy one with autism!! social services offer me for me to care for my oldest son and my lawyer told me by law I have strong position to care for my oldest and have legal rights... however if social service play the card that special needs require one to one care I lose my youngest into children’s home!! For me it was a gamble but on principle it was both my children or I take none... the compromise was my children go in foster care for 6 months and I take a full assessment of my childcare ability’s... The social worker hated men too... she had several children herself to different men!!! In the 6 months of the assessment at school I had every teacher on my side!! And my school made sure I got my children home... we are a small town and I had an amazing school on my side with a superb head-teacher... by time my children come home my boys was 4 years and 5 years and now have been in my sole care 13 years now... my youngest child had a special needs assessment this year and he scored 0 points saying he was normal... again I had to fight to get his aurtism accepted due to the quality of care I’ve gave the aurtism is very slight maybe he’s like Forrest Gump.. but a nicer child young man you will never meet... I’m very proud of my family... but my one regret is never being a two parent family!!!

Which wasn’t ever my choice!! For years I always had fear of one day there would be a knock on the door and they would take away my children!!

If I had more children in future I can do everything except for breast feed  

But when my children was little I got much prejudice by people who thought a lone parent man was weird situation the bouncer security 🏍 biker image not help was told many times 13 years back I looked like wrestler Bill Goldberg 🙄 how could such a man care for kids   not like being stereotyped

My kids with me when younger I respect women has often women get kids but not always. There are responsible men too
