[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You started online dating right after the divorce??

Wow.... I was still making my kids feelings a priority & the absolute LAST thing I was thinking about immediately after my divorce was online dating.

You do you though. [/quote]

Way to project. Guess what? I can walk and chew gum. I can also date someone and simultaneously care a whole heck of a lot about my kids. Even love them to bits. Once again, I was not asking for opinions on my relationship, so please feel free to scroll on by. [/quote]

As a divorced mom of 2, I want to know how you do it?  When to you physically find the time to date?  ExH has the kids 1 night a week and 1 weekend overnight.  Except both kids have so many after school/weekend activities, that all people that can drive are needed to drive.  We have to divide and conquer for transportation logistics.

3 days a week both kids are out until 8pm.  On the weekends, both kids have games and inevitably there are playdates that conflict with bday parties.  By 8pm on Sat night, I am exhausted.  And since we do it all again on Sunday morning starting at 8, all I want to do is go to bed.  I don't know how to find time to date without making my kids give up something and that's not fair to them.  So where do you find the time to date?[/quote]

I guess maybe the things that are issues for you are not issues for OP? IMAGINE THAT.

For example, when I got divorced, my ex had our kid 3-4 nights per week, depending on the week. During his times, her social engagements were his to manage, and during my times, her social engagements were mine to manage. That meant that he would take her to ballet AND a birthday party if those were things on the menu. I also did not find that I was exhausted by 8pm on Saturday night and that going out for dinner at 7 and a movie at 9 was totally doable.

You are judging OP's love for and commitment to her kids against your own exhaustion and circumstances, which doesn't seem reasonable. [/quote]
