[blparent] older kids and their questions about when single parents date because you know there is just so much free time

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

        Sounds like she was just telling you what she wanted. Let her talk and don't engage in a discussion. Sounds like she's in what I call "transmit mode" where the person wants to transmit but doesn't want a response.

So OK, Ash and I were walking home Friday and she out of nowhere gave me her list of what she wants to see when I start dating again.

Being that this has never come up I thought I would poast her thoughts on the matter.

"Your date has to be nice."
"He has to like kids." (no kidding)
"You should make shore he has a job for real." (good advice, I ges the dood drinking by the Publix is out)
"He should be good looking so my friends think he's cool."  (What now her friends get a say?)
"If he has kids they have to be nice to me."  (Not shore what she's hinting at)
"And please Mom!, pick a man who can drive because walking sucks." (OK...)

So that is Ashs' thoughts on the matter.  If any single parents know the parent way to say "keep out of it." pass it on.

Kate
