[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To OP, it sounds like it wasn't just the fact that she is a parent, it's that her parenting arrangements with her ex are unreliable.  If it works for them, great; that's a LOT to ask someone else to go along for the ride for.

When I was dating after divorce (I had two small kids), even as a parent, it would have taken an extraordinary person for me to tolerate a parenting set up like that.  I have my kids most of the time but have a reliable schedule with my ex.  That's really important to me, the kids, and for everyone.  [/quote]

Actually, someone who wants to take off for surprise weekends in the Poconos is not likely going to enjoy step-parenthood. Unless, of course, OP is very wealthy and can easily make arrangements that work for everyone. Even on weekends "off," it's likely moms will have things to do that they couldn't do on their weekends "on."

Then again, I'm like the PP who would not like to be surprised like that. If you said, "keep the weekend on the 5th free; we're going somewhere" that would be fine. If you called me on the night of the 4th and said, "pack a bag for a beach vacation and one special occasion outfit," I'd likely say I couldn't make it.[/quote]
