No ordinary love....

I think that is a wonderful agreement. Of course I don't feel that children should meet just any date here and there, I feel that the single parent should feel within themselves that the relationship is going somewhere and is solid before they introduce them to the children. 6 months is definately a good time frame to know.

 

Isn't it cu-razy how some people here feel that you shouldn't even date at all? Forget that some men don't mind either way if you're a mommy - they want to be with you...it's strictly NO DATES, NO WAY, NO HOW!

 

My ex and I don't have an agreement, but my thought is at least 6 months of dating the person on a consistent basis before I introduce him to my daughter and I will have to be feeling that it could be leading somewhere before I think about introducing him to her. I won't have a parade of men around my daughter. :smt023

very good........very good!!!

But I don't know how old your children are. And I guess if one must date this would be the way to do it.

 

THIS


this is my second this today

 

Very good, very good!!!, we have you down from 14 yrs to 6 months!

 

completely agree lovely. i have a couple of friends who would have a parade of men coming in and out of their lives and it confused their kids. if i think a relationship i'm in is going to go somewhere & we're in love and planning a future, then and only then will he meet them and hopefully they will all get along.

exactly petal pie. i don't understand why single parents aren't supposed to date. we put our children above all else, work hard to support them, love and cherish them, but we have needs as well and deserve love. i must say that it's quite lonely being a single parent. when the kids are in bed, i'm all by myself

 

I agree that having a revolving door type situation isn't ideal. My children were very vocal about wanting me to date. They tried to make me set a time frame, pushy little shits.

 

lol...bless them...!!! they want to see you happy, and deservedly so...!!!

 

I have one daughter, she's 8. :smt023

 

ahh, you know the bandwagon is not quite full yet. come on aboard.

....

 

Congrats sonny, i hope it all goes well for you.

As for some of the other posts, i had two kids by the time i was 23. They have the same dad and we were together for over ten years but not married, does that make me a bad person??

Dont judge shit you know nothing about. That is all. :smt018

 

Everyone judges.

 

No actually everyone doesn't. Some of us are capable of considering something without doing that, we don't make a judgment either way because it's none of our business. People make mistakes, those are theirs to pay for, or work past, or repeat... who are you to tell them they are right or wrong?

 

They are incredibly good kids, and I know they are trying to do what they think is best for me... but I was kinda happy with my lifelong solitude and celibacy plan.

 

Ummm no, not me. I dont judge people n i expect the same in return.

 

It's all true.
