Telling a man you are a mom
| Wed, 05-21-2008 - 8:34pm |
Hello ladies,
I am new on the board and I am trying to find someone out there that can empathize from my standpoint.
I am a mother of two boys and have been divorced now for over 1 yr.
I am starting to meet men and don't know when the time is right to tell them I have children?
Any suggestions?

The way I see it, if your intent is just to date and have fun and not get in any serious relationships then there is no reason to tell them that you are a mom.
When arranging dates, etc. and if there is a conflicting scheduling issue because of childcare or kid problems or kids' soccer games, etc. then I would tell them that.
Of course before you have sex with the guy then it is better to 1) make sure that it is exclusive (as well have the usual STD protection/testing) and 2) know about each other's personal situation/life, e.g. kids.

I usually would slip it into the conversation topic with a, "yeah, my kids like that as well..." and see how they react.
"I can date myself just for fun, lol!"
AGREED!
