If I had to choose between being a single parent and having a boyfriend, I’d be a single parent. Or, I’d have a boyfriend, but I’d keep him far away from my kids. That sounds rather small-minded of me, but I read WAY too much shit about boyfriends abusing/raping/killing kids on Parents Behaving Badly; that combined with my own experience with my mother’s boyfriend has left me pretty cold and determined to trust my children with very few people. My husband (their father) of course, my mother, my brothers, my husband’s siblings and his aunt and uncle, and our friend Jason. That’s it. And even with Jason, and any other potential friends, I had to witness a lot of good interaction before I was entirely comfortable. Again, what I read + my own experience as a child has made me the way I am in terms of this…
It would suck to be alone in terms of not having adult companionship, but my children always come first. Always.
