Well, let me clarify: I have no shortage of “dates”. I have an outgoing personality and seem to be asked out a lot…I guess I must be in reasonable shape because NOBODY can guess I’ve even had four kids, or that I’m even 34 (I get asked out by guys in their early 20s- I feel like I should read them a story and tuck them into bed… we usually go on a few dates, everything is going wonderful… I’m not talking about church bells, but just to an actual relationship. I am sick of being treated like a piece of ass, and treated like I must be desperate because I have kids.”It’s the only time the kids and I ever left Disneyland before the fireworks.It took me a while to refine my mommy-approved, date-worthy radar, but eventually I was able to weed out the dirt-bags and find a good man.but dating when you have FOUR kids is like the Mt Everest of the dating world!It seems almost impossible for men to see past that.

Try not to take it personally – they probably would want to spend more time with you if they could.Use other means to keep in touch – texting, phone calls and emails and value the time you do get together.If, when and how you meet the kids has to be the decision of the parent.This year I came home four times from college and he was in town every single time.After I went back to campus each time Mom said, ‘I never get to see you!
