Dating Diva

Single Mommies…please, please, please…don’t involve your kids in your dating life. The last thing kids need is a man merry-go-round; what kids require is stability, especially since it’s one parent doing the work of two. Never should there be a rush to introduce a new man into their lives. If your child is in need of a father figure, there are alternatives like trusted male(s) family member(s) as a mentor(s), Cub/Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Club and Big Brothers. Until that man has proven his worth, don’t put your kids at risk by introducing them to someone YOU don’t know well. As the adage goes, “Discretion is the better part of valor” and in desperation or eagerness to develop a relationship, this is forgotten. If there’s a babysitting issue, you’ve no choice but to be patient. Don’t allow your desire for companionship over-ride common sense.
