I am not sure if this question fits into this category or not, but I think it does....

How do you men and woman find the time to date? I mean between work, chores, the kids involvement in sports and school. Where and how do I find "Me Time".

Mike, you never find time. Time is a constant, you MAKE time for what is most important to you. Raising you children should be at the top of your list. Proud of you. You still need to make time for a personal life. Step out of your box & you may see different things to do.

You asked. What i have done is find a good sitter and started having some much needed me time. When i meet anyone for a date I make it a rule to never introduce the person to my child simply i go with the 3 to 6 month rule as this is the best way to spare my child from getting attached to anyone and the youngins do have feelings. Going thru several very long and hard custody battles I have had my share of abuse and abusive men in my lifetime. This also ensures my safety and my childs in the event the man is abusive towards me or my child. There are alot of not so nice people out there so be careful bringing them home. Being a mother isnt always a fun or attractive job but what matters most to me is my childs physical and mental health in this dance i call life. Good luck.
