So whats new in single parent land ?

I've got to tell someone about a friend of mine - she kicked her husband out last November when she found out he was having an affair. She spent the whole of December wondering if he would leave the mistress, have counselling and would they get back together. In mid January, she met a single father and started going out with him. I heard nothing but dramas about this bloke for the next five months. She was full on and he wasn't. She exchanged phone numbers with another bloke at the pub two weeks ago and then broke up with single father man over the email last week. She has slept with pub man and he's met her kids, all in under two weeks. And tonight she tells us how shes missing single father man, rang him up to say she was dropping off some of his stuff and she started crying on the phone ...

Call me a bit slow, but faaaaaark, no one is meeting my kids unless I know it's serious. Plus, I am so enjoying being on my own with the kids and not having to answer to anyone or do anything I don't want to and make all the decisions.

Divvy - about RSVP - you met someone thru there, right ? I joined a while ago and was emailing someone who wanted to meet for coffee, but I chickened out, giving the reasons above.

I say that I would like to have a man like my job, only 12 hours a week.

How long do you wait ? I don't miss my EX AT ALL, so there is no going backwards. But how do you go forwards ?
