I’ve been on my own with my kids for 10 years. It was a deliberate as I don’t trust my choice in men and I don’t feel I’m treated well. But now I’ve watched One Day on Netflix and I’ve decided to try again. I’m not young (over 50) but look younger. My question is how do single mums do this? I’ve always been there for my kids they’ve always been put first but now I’m doing something for myself and wondering how to do it. They are 14 and 12 so can be left on their own for a few hours but I don’t want to tell them I’m dating. I want it to be completely separate from them. Do people tell their kids? I think they would be mortified and so would I! Please let me know what you have done and how it turned out. I have a first date on Sunday. Thanks!
