Can’t this divorced woman get some dick as long as she has a responsible person at the house with her kids? She didn’t traumatize them by packing an overnight bag telling them she’s going somewhere.
It's the getting up and getting home before they wake up that indicates to me that she's thought this through. And if it is auntie's first time, well, sometime has to be the first time? I'd absolutely let my sister stay with my 5 and 2.5 year old overnight while I run a penisman errand. Similarly, I wouldn't prolly feel quite right about it unless i got home before they wake up, but i also don't think it'd be terrible if she had to pour their cheerios in the morning either. I'd just talk to my 5 year old, make sure she knew what to expect.
I’m leaning not red flaggy because of the forethought/planning, but I’m hesitant to give her a full pass until we see them thangs.
But, i mean, I'm 50/50 custody so i'd prolly never do it because i can wait a weekend to have all the sex and i feel too sad leaving my kids. So maaaaaaaybe it's a little red flaggy if she's 50/50, but I'm still not convinced But if she's 100% custody? Good for her getting out for a night. Fuckin deserves it. Your weiner has an important job.
I get that this post was made at 7am, but the structure of that sentence is making my eyes bleed. I think whether or not your situation is a red flag depends largely on the age of the kids, how long you've been dating, how often it's happening, etc. But I would probably be having some kind of internal monologue about whether or not this was a red flag if the kids were under 10 and this was happening in the first month or two. I wouldn't stop what I was doing, but I would be looking for other signs more closely if the relationship continued to progress.
Team "Not a Red Flag" And before my credentials for my opinion are questioned, I'm a happily married father of two and son of a single mother that regularly had adult sleepovers (thankfully at other people's homes)
Yeah it's a way better arrangement than the "boy your momma sure does care bout your schoolin" alternative
As originally presented, the adult babysitter was not happening. If you just read the first post, you'd think the kids were being left completely home alone. Which would be a red flag.
Also, she's even putting the kids down to bed first. I went on a date one night last month after i put the kids down. Had grampskrt crynasty stay with them while i was out. Came back that night. Went fine only issue being he fell asleep on the couch, snores like a banshee and woke up my 5 y.o. down the hall. If someone ever thought that was a red flag about me, i would actually see that as a red flag about them.
Look at this way…. Is it wrong for me and my wife to leave my 3 kids overnight with my sister to go to concert or have an adult night? Then what’s so different about a single parent wanting to have the same freedom and ability to do so?
Congrats on the pending sex mp_22 Team not a red flag if she’s leaving them in the care of a responsible adult. Red flag if she’s leaving them alone unsupervised.
Yes if you think a woman leaving her kids with her sister to spend time with you for a night is a red flag you probably need to look inward.
It all makes sense. You’re team not red flag out of self preservation. Can’t be objective. I’d have a hard time sleeping at night if I put my kids in harms way like that.
I think my biggest thing is how quickly this is happening. She recently got out of a 8 year relationship. Would say it’s been about a month of us dating
This woman is willing to inconvenience her life to spend some time with you. She’s willing to get her kids settled and get up early to come home as to keep their routine, etc in place. If anything you should be flattered. I don’t know this woman of course, but I’d imagine these decisions aren’t easy on her as a single mom.
Not that this is happening (although recent post makes it seem like it is), but I used to make up a bunch of weird red flags in my mind to justify the split when I knew it wasn't going to work
I care less about her decision making and far more about the giant red flag that is your understanding and use of grammar.
If it weren't for everyone else similarly stating their confusion, i would be heading into the ER to call a stroke code on myself
At least she isn’t dropping the kids off at a brewery where everyone else is legally obligated to become their parents
