I basically don't tell my children anything that they don't need to know.
So if I've gone away overnight like I have in the past I've told them where I'm going and who with i.e. first name.
I don't introduce them to my dates because unless I know it's going to be long-term I don't feel there's any need.
My two eldest children don't live with me at all and my youngest spends roughly every other week here (17DD) but I always arrange things so that I am around for her and I've maybe gone on two dates in the last year where she has been at my house and I've just gone out for dinner or a walk and coffee for example in the evening.
One of my older two children announced last weekend that they find it odd that they haven't met any of my dates. I hasten to add we are not talking large numbers here😂
I thought I was doing the right thing by not involving them in that side of my life. I don't really tell anybody other than that my best friend. I don't put myself into dangerous situations and I just feel like my private life is my private life?
