Yesterday my kids and I were driving along on our way to church. An adorable guy drove by in a truck and I said quietly, "He's cute." My daughter heard me, "What? I can think a guy is cute. If I am ever to get married I need to think the guy is cute right?" My daughter agreed. Then it happened, "Mom, I do not want you to get married!" Q said in a loud voice from the backseat. I asked him why. "I like you the way you are! We do not need you to get married!" I understand that if I ever get married it would be a HUGE change for the kids. I assured him that if I should get married someday that I would be the same mom.
It is not like I am dating. I have never really been on my own before. So, these past three years since W's dad left I have been discovering myself. Realizing that I do not NEED a man in my life. I can raise my children without a guy in my life. I guess my children want me to keep doing just that. It is not really something to worry about.
If When I find the right guy I will figure out how to talk to my kids about that then.
Did any of you have problems with your kids not wanting you to get married? How did you help ease that transition? Some advice for the future would be great!
