Well, your kids are lucky that you are willing to do what's best for them even if it means you have to sacrifice some personal time. Still, that sucks. :(   The trend does seem to be, the more kids you have, and the more you have them, the less you will be dating. While that is sad and frustrating, it's also comforting. It means it's not just me being afraid of commitment or too picky or something like that, right? lol
Do not let them go with him. This is how my ex started behaving and it turned into full-blown stalking and it was terrifying. It lasted for a couple of years and I ended up with PTSD. You need a restraining order now. You cannot let your kids be around him at this point. I am not saying this to scare you but to let you know this type of thing tends to escalate rather than die down. Please read    both of Lundy Bancroft's books: "When Dad Hurts Mom" and "Why Does He Do...
It's the thread called "Another poll on dating." Thanks. :)
Oh, thanks for letting me know. You can see how long it's been for us. :)
I also have allergic reactions to it. And yes, to women's also. But the thing that gets me is, don't men realize they're actually repulsing me (when their intention seems to be to attract) with those awful chemical scents. Yuck. And too, it makes the animal in me suspicious. Yes, have good hygiene so you don't stink. But why are you trying to mask your natural smell, you know? There are natural oils that you can but on so lightly that you'd have to be very close to...
It sounds like you are doing everything you can to take the best possible care of you and your son. Honestly, from what I'm reading, you are experiencing a healthy shift in your feelings. Rather than guilt and pity for your ex and putting it on yourself, you seem to be finally feeling that righteous anger that absolutely should be directed at him. I don't mean that you're going to be getting angry at him but it just seems to me you're seeing things clearly now and that...
And just to clarify, I am a 100% solo mom, for many, many years now.    And provocativa, it does seem that arrangement could have the same effect as being a solo mom. 
You are so right. I was actually going to make one for just two kids, but then I started and realized how many options I'd have to do! My life would be way different if I had only two kids and I can hardly even imagine how different if I only had one. But this poll was the best I could do. I have noticed when men think I only have one kid (and even only two) they are much more interested. Sad, but true. 
Thank you for that recipe. I might cheat and do a ready made crust. Do you think that would work okay as long as the crust was raw?
Honestly, I have dated so little that I feel like I should mark "never," but I guess that wouldn't be accurate.
