Hi All,

I'm a guy early 30s with two young children who stay with me every weekend Friday till Sunday.

It just dawned on me that I may struggle to find the time to go on dates.

Do you have any advice or expierance with this situation?

I've arranged with the mum for me to have to kids a few days during the week instead, just need to give notice.

The flexibility works both ways. Mum too might want a weekend with the kids.

Did she really never want weekends with them before? It seems like a sad deal for one parent to get the school week and associated admin / chores while one gets the more relaxed and fun two days!
