Are there any ladies in the Joplin, Springfield, Carthage, Mount Vernon, Carl Junction, Monett, Aurora, Mount Vernon, Neosho area?

aLittlebird,
I am looking for work right now. I quit the job that I had in 2006 when my wife started getting sick. I tried to go back here recently, but they aren't hiring now. I have had jobs working for independent contractors installing carpet and flooring, nut I am looking for something steady because I plan on going to college to get a degree in Accounting. I do not expect any woman to support me or my son. It is my job to not only support my son, but a woman as well. I guess i am just old fashioned that way...lol

When my wife passed away from a serious illness March 14, 2007, she had a blackout seizure and accidentally overdosed on her medications while I was at work.

I have been on 2 dates since then and it seems like the women I have picked could not live up to my expectations.

What I expect is for a lady to accept the fact that my son comes first in my life. He is 4 yrs old.

The first one I really wasn't ready for and she couldn't understand, oh well. The second, she tried to get me to put her first and put my son on the back burner.

That wasn't going to work, I told that and she started yelling at my son every time he did something wrong no matter what it was.

I put my foot down on that and broke it off with her. I don't know what it is with women. Are my expectations to high?

What my expectations are:
1. Accept the fact that my son comes first or if she has children, then the children come first, my son included.
2. A lady who is responsible: knows that bills, food and childrens needs come first before going out or likes to stay at home to have dinner and cuddle on the couch to watch a movie.
3. A lady who likes to talk about problems instead of arguing over nonsense and get into a yelling match.

I have alot more, but will post them in a different topic.
