And if you think it's hard when they're little - try it when they're preteen and teens. They KNOW something is up. They want to know where you are. And with no father around, and no family for hundreds of miles, to go out late or overnight I have to find sleepovers for two kids and care for my dogs. Sometimes it's just not worth it. A red flag? A mid-life crisis camoflauged as a Harley. I don’t introduce men to my kids. And if you think it’s hard when they’re little – try it when they’re preteen and teens. They KNOW something is up.

Don't compromise. If he's just a nice guy...think, because what happens after he gets attached to the kids and they to him? I'm dating a great guy right now who, for many reasons, can't be permanent. (He lives in another state with a great job he can't afford to lose, I live in the boonies with no work in his field, I have a specialized field and can't leave here...blah blah) Unfortunately, my kids LOVE him. He's great with them. I'm either stuck with him indefinitely or I have to risk them going through another emotional upheaval.
