If you are just out having a good time then there are somethings that can be left unsaid unless asked. My boys are my pride and joys so don't get me wrong when I say this. When I was going through the dating scene my life at home was my personal business. Its like an interview, why spill the dirt on the job if you don't know if you are going to hire. Meaning you have to make sure the guy isn't going to be one of those jerks that think the way that you described. Get to know him go out on a couple dates find out what kind of guy he is going to be before you tell him about your children. In a way its protecting your children and you from problems. I would not introduce a man to my kids unless I knew I was with someone who was comfortable with the fact that I had kids. And I would lay it all out on the line that they have a father and I am not looking for anyone to replace him. Usually it would be a few months of being with that man before introducing them to eachother. because the other thing I feared was one or the other becoming attached and then something happening. Hope that I helped some

Oh do I ever know exactly what you mean!!! I have had all of those comments and more!! And that is despite the fact that I am a very independent, career orientated woman as well as being a single mum!! I've even had "well you're a single mum so you'll be desparate!". I spent 9 years alone, then last March met a lovely man. It has been a very slow burning relationship, but that is fine. Now I am completely in love with him and constantly amazed by just how wonderful he is with both me and my son. He is the proof that not all men are the same and has been well worth waiting for. Be strong and don't give up is the only thing I can advise - there are good ones out there, you just have to be patient!
