Advice For Single Moms

Love Couple

1. Get a reliable babysitter who you can call whenever you need them. You can't date and bring your kids. Not if you want to have a good time and keep the focus on you.

2. Date on your terms and the way you want. Many friends and relatives may offer well meaning advice when in reality you just need to make sure to do it however you are comfortable.

3. Never lie to your kids. You do not have to tell them everything, but lying about your date or what you are doing is a bad idea as well. You want a family of trust and this includes you telling the truth.

4. Don't rush your new man to get involved with your kids. He will let you know when he is ready. So will your kids let you know when they want him to be a part of their lives as well as yours.

5. Can you balance being a single mom with dating? It should always be kids first and dating second if you have to choose where to spend your time.

6. You do not have to talk about the kids all of the time. As a matter of fact it is ok to think about yourself and your date and keep the conversation about each other.
