We all know it's not the easiest thing being a single mother. Especially if like me you do not have any family near to help with things.
The father of my child left on day one, I have coped well thus far but I cannot lie, from time to time I have felt lonely and I would invite friends and family over more often than beforehand.
I take my daughter to play groups in Hoddesdon and got talking to another lady who was there, (she was the grandmother of a child there.) She asked me about my partner and I told her about him leaving etc. She then opened up that her husband of 35 years left her 3 years ago. I didn't mention anything about me being lonely as I met her and that would be really weird!! But for some reason I just said blimey I thought I was lonely and it's only been a year!!
She laughed and quietly said she has found a solution for that. I then tended to my daughter and but I wondered what she was on about. I caught up to her in the car park as she was leaving and I asked her what she meant and why she whispered. Her response made my draw drop.
She has been messing around with father of her grandson (who is no longer with her daughter) and says it's very discreet but it's made her feel like a young woman again and no longer feels lonely. She is easily in her 50s and really looks like your typical sweet and seemingly innocent grand mother. Obviously that is not the case!
I told her that is naughty and she got in her car and went away. And all week I had been thinking about it and realised that too needed a man's attention, I saw her again the next week and we spoke about normal things, when we left again I plucked up the courage and bought up her 'solution' And to my suprise she said she'll share him with me. So I have his email address now. But I am nervous about what to do?!
Do I let myself have some harmless fun? I want to as I will call the shots but at the same time it's a very scary prospect!!
