[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a fellow divorced working mom with a little more dating experience than you, I think you aren’t compatible.  I look for men with kids at home and hobbies. The last 2 relationships I’ve had, we aim for 1x week and the occasional weekend when we are both kid free.  It can be frustrating sometimes when our schedules don’t align but we both get it and respect each others priorities (kids first, each other second but also hobbies, friendships and other  commitments are important).  When dating I actually screen out guys with too much time because your situation would drive me nuts.[/quote]

Sigh. I’m worried it’s this. He stopped by to have dinner with my kids and I, and it dragged on forever. I was playing with my kids while he sat on the couch and scrolled his phone, I finally snapped for him to leave because it’s not really helpful for him to just hang out and scroll. And it’s not like I expect him to pitch in with the kids, but also, I just don’t see the point of sitting around and saying random things to me while I’m trying to do other things.

But, I recognize he’s at a stage of life where that’s probably what he wants from a GF, and that’s totally reasonable. Most people without kids do that. It’s just not me. [/quote]

PP you’re quoting and yeah exactly.  I went on a couple dates with a guy who was great but his kid lives overseas and he didn’t have any serious hobbies and I could just tell he’d be like “what do you mean you can’t come over after the school play?”  I knew it would always be a point of tension. Until my kids are in college, I’d much rather have too little of my BF than too much.
