This dating things is tough-- especially when you are not really doing it much. So- if you have read the rest of this blog you know, I am new to dating post divorce- had some casual sex a few weeks ago and am looking to repeat the experience. Because I like sex... But, I have a 5 year old and a 6 month old chihuahua that I am up all night potty training (don't ask). So I am essentially the epitome of a single mom.
How do other people do this? I get two nights a week "out"- at least one of them I usually have a work thing. The other night I'd occasionally like to do something with a friend. And sometimes I just want to be home, alone, with a glass of wine and bad tv... How do women do this? I just found myself texting someone that I'd like to try to make a spontaneous random sex date for 2 weeks from now!!! That was the next available time I had. Do other people try to get a sitter after their kids go to bed? Is that slutty? Do I care?
I want to spend all the time I can with my daughter-- I never thought I would miss her as much as I do on the two days a week she is with her dad. BUT I also want to have an adult life. That's the balance right? That's what you miss as s single parent. It's about putting someone to bed at night and then having no one else to talk to but a 6month old chihuahua. And no one to kiss- or to ravage!
So what do you do? Have you figured out a way to balance? let me know-
Thanks
