my date had to cancel, cheer me up

I'm really not that bummed cuz she was so incredibly nice and motivated, just couldn't get a babysitter. Oh well, c'est la vie !


:argh:

and baby oil.



Sorry...sorry....sorry....:o

:wow:

Hope I don't get your thread locked....

eom

:shrug:

geez.

:shrug:

right. you know all the tricks i am sure. :P

but I would be too embarrassed.

:)

a bit of help in the self-help area.

Another instance when having a "convertible" is helpful.

LOL

:beer:

I already got my order.

I'll have a Phillips Screwdriver. Vodka and Milk of Magnesia.

Do I look like a bartender?!

house?:shrug:

:argh:

Call and offer to bring pizza. If she says yes- take something for the kid. If she says no....um, well...

have me do the disappearing number and f**k them up mentally. I respect her for that. I really do.

:argh:

I have a relative who has gone through like 10 girlfriends (along with their own children, in many cases), in the last 15 years, while raising his two boys in a joint custody agreement. Most of them ended up being live-ins/babysitters while he pursued the next conquest.

It's been tough on his kids. Especially when they bonded with the other kids.

friday nights should be reserved for them anyway.

that being said, booze really helps.

taught.

i was supposed to go to a party tonight, but the hostest canceled it because someone quit where she works, and she has to close.

so...time for pizza and movies :)

...and they were lying, nasty people! So you see, it could be much, much worse.

lol

:argh:

in the mean while you can spend the evening with us. That can't be all bad lol

:argh:

If you're going to be getting into a relationship with her, the kids will be a part of it. You may as well get used to it now, and you'll also score points for being understanding and accommodating!

Plus kids can be a lot of fun! ;)

So, that settles everything :-) She is being very protective of them, which I understand totally.

:argh:

I dated my fiance for over a year before I let her meet my boys. Of course their mother might as well have a revolving door on her house. It looks like she belongs to the "man of the month" club or something. Hopefully the boys will follow my example instead of hers.

Sounds like your lady friend has a good head on her shoulders and her priorities are well-ordered. Congratulations and I hope things work out well for you!

:party:

:-)

Looks like this whole thing will require some patience, what with the complications of children from previous marriages...

Hope all your patience is rewarded with a good relationship.

good for her! it doesn't always feel good, but it's the right way to do it.

i'm a single mom, too, and it's another sacrifice we have to make - get to know someone when the kids are not around, then bring that person slowly into their lives. i've had a couple of men (even just friends!) bail on me, and my kids suffered yet another loss.

when a child loses their dad, they experience grief. each time a man leaves their lives again, it brings up all those issues. better to play it safe. good for her, and great for you for respecting her and the situation.

so you can hang with your virtual friends, kids or no kids, and no one gets hurt! well, most of the time.......

Uh, if you already get Showtime...uh....

Did you reschedule?

since I'm out of town next weekend. Between kids and work, it's tough to schedule things.

:-)

any social event is 'tough to schedule.' this is normal!!!!!!!

not

:argh:

my 14 year old tells me i have no social life. i tell her it's because i have kids!

there are a LOT of logistics, when there are kids.

excuse me - must go make dinner.......

almost as much as JJ :-)

:party:

disappointed as you are. I know I would be. :hug:

I could tell from her voice on the voicemail.

:argh:

Nice long midnight conversations are very nice. Just don't even suggest slipping over for a little while. I like her boundries.

:-)

...oh, that's right, good boundaries. haha
