I'm a happily married woman now, but when I was in the dating world, while I was a single mom, it was pretty rough. I had a hard time meeting any decent men. I did meet and date one nice guy, whom shall remain nameless. We were really just getting to know eachother and I had just introduced him to my daughter when we decided to take her to the swimming pool. It was a great idea in theory, but it ended up moving our relationship along faster than I wanted. Let's just say, when a two year old wants to grab her mom's boob (pulling away the suit and exposing said boob) while she's wearing a bikini for no apparent reason, a two year old will do what she wants. The words 'awkward' and 'mortified' do not even describe the feelings I had at that moment. He was a gentlemen about it, thankfully, and thankfully he and I didn't work out. I wouldn't have met my wonderful man that I have now if we would have.
I guess the moral of the story is, be careful how you choose to go on dates, all you single parents out there! You never know if you'll be prematurely exposed against your will.
I did that to my mother when I was little. Thankfully she wasn't on a date at the time, just standing in the shallow end of a wave pool full of people.
ReplyDeleteHaha too funny! I'm sure she was equally as mortified.
