Im single mom I keep my dating outside my home I have never exposed my child to it.Who out here agrees with th

Answer 1

Good for you, very smart thing indeed to give your child the respect he/she deserves by not exposing that part of your life inside the home (which is unconsciously signified as a stable source of emotional, mental, behavioral grounding for your little one.) The child as of now, should not know nor would be thoroughly capable of understanding why mom is trying to integrate herself back out into the 'dating scene'. In my opinion I believe that you are handling this situation very appropriately. You know what's right.

Good luck & Be well.

Answer 2

I agree that this is acceptable. I can speak from experience of being that child. My mom was a single teen mom and as I grew up (when she was in her 20s) she was an excellent mom who did care for me. She would go out on dates but kept it a distance from me. Once in a while I would meet her date and they both would take me out. I did enjoy that.

I knew she needed to have some time for herself because she had me and worked like 12hrs a day. Then again I was always a pretty understanding person. In the end if she was happy, so was I.

Answer 3

I agree with this. I'm a single mom myself. Before my divorce was final, I had to attend PAC which is a program designed to help separating and divorcing parents work together more cooperatively and effectively. It suggests that in the best interest of the child that you keep your dating outside of your child. When a relationship gets serious for a long time (at least one year), you can introduce this person to your child as your friend. Give time to takes its course.

Answer 4

U should never bring a man home 'till Ur sure the relationship can work out. It it doesn't & U move on 2 a new person then Ur only confusing Ur child. Specially if they get used to 1 person & then they go away. Ur children don't need to know every man Ur interested in. Good luck!

Answer 5

I wouldn't just let you child be exposed to a guy who you might only go out with a few times, but if it becomes serious, just slowly bring him into your childs life as a friend.. let them develop a relationship and etc.

Thats my advice.. My dad dated constantly when I was little after he split with my mom, and it was hard to understand why a different girl was at the house every night.

Answer 6

I completly agree. When I was younger I despised when my mom would bring her boyfriends over. It just isn't right for some kids. You have this man who isn't your dad and it creates tension. I think you have the right idea not exposing your child to it, unless it's someone you are very serious about who has long term potential. Just don't bring different men over, it's confusing for the kid.Hope this helps.

Answer 7

tough call .. it would send a bad message to your child if you were to parade a series of different men in and out of the home.

but if you end up finding a guy that you want to have a serious long-term relationship with, eventually you'll have to decide when the time is right for your man to meet your child..

you deserve to be happy and you need to find a good balance between doing what's best for your child and doing what's best for your own happiness.

Answer 8

Hi Hunnie
This is billy boy0521 and i agree with your thinking about dating outside. You child is more precious than a date

Answer 9

I guess it's a right move but sometime in the future when you plan to settle with that guy you found it will be a little it hard for your child to accept that new man, I guess for her that guy will be a competition for your attention and love.

Answer 10

I single again but havent started dating again. When I do, I too, will keep the dating outside of the home.

Best for everyone involved...especially, our children.
