Single mum dating

[Missv92]

So to cut a long story shot me and my boys dad split and I started dating a guy I went to school with a little while after. Things ended up quite bad so I'm single again.
The problem is my son has little to do with his dad (his choice not mine) and is never looked after by anyone else. I'm fine being the sole person to care for my son but I feel as though I'm never going to find someone who's happy to meet me with my son all the time.
Before anyone suggests I'm not happy leaving him with a baby sitter as I've had many horror stories and worked in a nursery myself with 'qualified' people that I wouldn't leave my fish with let alone my child.

I'd rather leave my kid at nursery than take Them to meet a man I don't know, so can't agree with you on that one unfortunately. Really the only thing I can suggest is finding a reliable babysitter, so if you don't want to use formal childcare or sorting agencies then a friend or family member.

I'm just going to wait until my kids are older now, which I think a lot of mums do too.

I have known people who have let any old Tom dick or Harry over whenever the kids there, and the kids ended up pretty confused. My kids have only ever known me to date one man. I have dated more than that but kept it to evenings when I had a sitter.

Sitting agencies not sorting agencies

Sorry that man being their dad 😂

It’s a babysitter or no dating unless you can meet when your children are at school/nursery.

If you don’t want to use nurseries etc then that’s fine, it just means you can’t date for now.

I'd work on your anxiety around leaving your son with qualified people before worrying about dating if I were you.
