dating for people who have children is not easy but can be done. plan well, prioritize,dont feel guilty when leaving kiddos for couple of hours with a babysitter. its your life, you will get out what you put in. I have made choice to teach my children to cook, clean, do their own laundry and be responsible for their own mess, choices and school grades. it is a lot of help and I enjoy my life while being newly divorced single mom of two boys 11 and 10 yrs old. ohh yeah one more thing, I am in college and working beside that. good luck everyone. we create our own life.
