firstly, soufie, you are awesome

and now, to the point


I have a daughter now and I am much more protective , possibly to the point of paranoid, about who comes around her,,which is one reason that I haven't dated since her dad split eight years ago

children get attached very quickly and if one is not sure that something is casual or serious, I feel it quite selfish to take that risk over and over



but when it was just my son and I and I was much younger,, I wasn't quite as paranoid,,,,I still was sure not to bring around anyone that I hadn't already established some sort of long term commitment with,,,,,,


I can recall him meeting only my best friend(male) , and a male I was all but ready to marry,,,oh, and my second husband after we were engaged

if and when I do date again, I probably would prefer someone with kids because they are more likely to understand the work of a parent and be ok with it, and because it is less likely my kid will feel like a burden or third wheel if there are other kids involved

Well said! & sung! :)

I don't take dates home for safety reasons.
I don't have children at home
Far out I don't have a home we all moved out. Lol
I feel like a bird flying.

Your safety or theirs, eh

* a nice "birds" house

i would never want to be in the same house with Turkish kids (my own nationality) never !!

i love dutch kids. the dutch parents grow them up very correctly. they do not cry, they do not cause problem, and they are adorable.

i do not have a kid, maybe i am thinking wrong. but i do not like it when a kid falls down with a small cut on the knee, and the parents behave as if that is a disaster and spoil the kid. at the end of the day we have all been grown up with cuts and bruises. why that exaggeration??

eh! the annual head lice, puke on my good sheets, oh! we all have watched the sun come-up threw the Emergency windows. As to cuts, if its not flowing it's just a war wound, go play
