[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a divorced mom, I almost exclusively date single dads.  Guys without kids just don't get it.  And that's ok.  I didn't get it before I had kids either.  If you prefer the spontaneity of your child free life, you probably want to steer clear of women with kids, at least ones in elementary school.  [/quote]
 :roll:

I have kids and I still don't "get it"  . There are levels to this parenting thing some of us have lives of our own.

So if BF calls you up at 7 and says, how about a night out; I've got reservations at 8:30, and you have an 8-year-old child at home, you what... walk out? I certainly can't be sure I can find a babysitter in that time frame! And I would get exhausted trying to do that on the regular.[/quote]

No. When I was a single parent dating I had a babysitter and nights  where I could go out, when I got serious with my now husband, occasionally he would come over for dinner or drinks after the kids went to bed.

The point is  yes kids take up alot of time and life with them can be predictable, but if you truly  want to find marriage again you are going to have to figure out a way to balance both and it can't always be well I can't do xyz because Larla has flower picking or something like that.

The I can't do anything because of my kids attitude leads to  step family situations whre no one is happy.

The OP didn't say she couldn't ever do anything. He said she couldn't be spontaneous. And then he defined that as including surprise weekends away and day dates. [/quote]
