[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be real: it is not normal for a mother of a teenager to want to take someone’s 7 and 2 year old out alone. Why are you so desperate to be friends with someone that is giving you legitimate creeps when it comes to your kids? Believe people when they show you who they are. [/quote]

Op here. Thanks all.

In terms of how long I’ve known her, it’s been a few months. We met volunteering together and in many ways are very similar people and she’s fun and makes me laugh. She’s also very quick to offer help in other areas (do you need a ride? I’m out picking up x item can I get anything for you...).  Now that I know her a bit better I also know she’s having rough time (drawn out custody battle) and I’m happy to be someone who listens. We had dinner last night - we’ve hung out twice with the kids and that was my second time having dinner 1:1 with her. I learned more about her relationship with her child and her ex that makes me assume she is lonely / misses having a child in her life all the time and also cemented for me that I’m not sending my children off with her - at least near term, possibly long term. It didn’t come up last night so I was glad for that. She likes enough of the same things I like that I’d like to see where the friendship goes even though her judgement about boundaries seems a bit off.
