I am just not sure how to approach it with my kids, how do you tell your kids that you are dating, or should I even bother saying anything until I am serious about someone.
I do have this great fear that if I start dating that the kids might resent it and I will have to make a choice between a girl friend and my kids. I know who wins that battle but I just don't want to be put in that position. I think this is the one thing that has held me back from dating up to this point....how will the kids react. I am probably worrying to much about it, I am making a mountain out of a mole hill I am sure,...but still it is on my mind.
I just worry that the kids will resent anyone that I am seeing, that they might blame her for the separation, I know that is not true, but is just what I worry about.
Maybe I don't give the kids enough credit for being grown up, they are teenagers, they are not babies anymore that is for sure.
I guess I have to get on with life, waiting for the kids to grow up and leave home is really putting my life on hold.
