I’m a single parent to a 7 year old, dad isn’t involved and apart from my mum having her for a few hours here and there, I pretty much am with her all of the time.
I’m starting to get to know someone and have been for the last 2-3 months (in the talking/casual dating but not dating anyone else stage if that makes sense - it’s also long distance) but obviously with the summer holidays coming up, it’ll be trickier to schedule in time to see them.
I’ve not really dated as a parent before - would it be appropriate to ask them if they wanted to come along to some of our days out that we have planned coming up to make it easier rather than trying to split my time?
They are also a woman, if that makes any difference (?!), great with kids as it’s their job and knows I have a daughter etc which has never been an issue.
It would also be an introduction as Mummy’s friend rather than anything else, so there’s no pressure there, it would be the same sort of situation if an actual friend of mine came along.
