I'm cold, he was suppose to be here at 7. He text after I already set off to ask if we could put it back to 7:15. I got it when I parked up at 6:50. I told him I was here but sure 7:15 is fine. Now he's just rang telling me he's at a similar sounding place 15 mins away. There's no hope is there? I might as well give up now! Then again babysitter is there now.

This thread is weird

OP you're wearing the sad face out

SmillasSenseOfSnow · 19/11/2015 01:00

Lesson here is to not bring stranger into your child's home to have sex with them, start putting your child first.

Just curious - do women fail to put their children first by bringing sexual partners back to their place, or by having sexual partners full stop? Hmm

ExBallerina · 19/11/2015 01:27

Poor OP.

I'm not going to advance search because it seems pretty irrelevant.

Women are allowed to have sex. After they become mothers, even. And (shock horror) should they split up with their children's father, they're allowed to have sex with someone else, too! Multiple someone elses.

Even (whispers) without the intent of marriage or procreation!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 19/11/2015 01:29

I wouldn't do an advanced search either. To me its an invasion of privacy.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. AFAIAC

You will keep that bond. Most Men absolutely adore their mums, well all their female relatives really. Little girls tend to go for their dads and grsndads. IME anyway. I was a proper granddad's girl.

How do you find them, OP? Im asking because i cant even get one bloke to look my way, nevermind a few!

FedUpWithJudgementalPeople · 19/11/2015 09:34

Fucking hell there's a few judgemental old fishwives on MN this week. She has had sex with one bloke and had a date with another. Big wows.

Bunbaker · 19/11/2015 09:49

I agree FedUp. I still want to know if the OP went to the cinema on her own or if the date turned up.

Waltermittythesequel · 19/11/2015 10:04

FedUp if you actually bothered to read this poster's history you would see that people have genuine concerns about her and the effect it's having on her dc.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 19/11/2015 10:05

accidentally getting caught DTD by your child is not the same as deliberately exposing your child to it, although some posters seem to be confused between the two here.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 19/11/2015 10:07

FedUp if you actually bothered to read this poster's history you would see that people have genuine concerns about her and the effect it's having on her dc

to be honest that would feel massively stalker ish
AND if people have genuine concerns that's fine and dandy to do it, i.e. if you are replying to her thread for the 10th time!

but there is nothing wrong with taking poster at face value

Waltermittythesequel · 19/11/2015 10:14

Massively stalkerish?

When you're told a poster has form and you should check out other threads to get a full picture?

VeryHungryCaterpillars · 19/11/2015 10:22

Stop shaming her!

She can sleep with as many blokes as she wants. Fucking hell is it 1942?!

I hope you had a good date OP.

FedUpWithJudgementalPeople · 19/11/2015 10:37

"has form" Walter Hmm

Still slut shaming then...

UmbongoUnchained · 19/11/2015 10:39

It's not slut shaming shaming.

It's genuine concern that she really doesn't see anything wrong with bringing strangers home to have sex with when her 2 children are there because she's terrified of being alone.

FedUpWithJudgementalPeople · 19/11/2015 10:45

It wasn't a stranger - it was someone she was dating!

Also this happened once.

UmbongoUnchained · 19/11/2015 10:52

Stranger to her children.

SolidGoldBrass · 19/11/2015 11:01

The idea was probably to sneak the man in and have him leave before DC woke up. That's not wrong. Lots of people do it. And the more men you shag or have shagged in the past, the better your radar usually is for the ones who are going to nick your purse, refuse to go away or even just wipe their cocks on the curtains.

SoDiana · 19/11/2015 11:02

I see the men are out in force....

1942 indeed.

OnTheEdgeToday · 19/11/2015 11:05

Id also like to know how OP's date went.
Im not bothered about her lifestyle, or her actions - unless she asked people's opinions about it. Which she hasnt.

Alls i see is a woman asking a question about whether she should ditch her late date. This is what id like to know more about. I dont want to know the ins and outs of her previous threads.

The only thing that has got me from what other posters have said, is a genuine question of how? I wish i could find even just one man to date

Lulabellarama · 19/11/2015 11:11

Stranger to her children.

Oh right, so your kids need to know everyone you shag? Honestly this thread is so depressing. She is a single woman who had an unfortunate accident with her DS walking in on her mid-shag, shit happens. All this judgement wrapped up as faux 'concern' is disgusting.

Waltermittythesequel · 19/11/2015 11:18

I'm not slut shaming at all.

OP, on another thread, has spoken about her inability to have proper boundaries.

She even said she felt like she had to sleep with that man to keep him interested.

She's so afraid of being alone that she's making decisions that can damage her and her dc.

But by all means, you encourage her. That'll help.

KeepOnMoving1 · 19/11/2015 11:18

I'm sorry op but you posted just the other day about being walked in on by your son with someone who you were with a few months and now you're already on to the next guy. And a few months before that there were problems with another guy.
You should think about taking time for yourself and being single instead of a new guy every few months. You have kids.

UmbongoUnchained · 19/11/2015 11:21

so your kids need to know everyone you shag?

If you're bringing men into the children's home (when they're there) then yes!!!
