Single mom needs dating advise....?

Its not what you think...I am a 31 year old single mom who lives with my parents. My mother thinks I should not be dating. I am finding it hard to go out because she makes me feel guilty about her not getting to do anything with my father, (even when I stay home they don't do anything). Anyway, I have been single for 6 years now and I feel the need to start looking to share my life with someone. How do I make her understand that things are not the same as it was when her and my father dated and that just because I am divorced that my life is over as far as dating and relationships go. I don't want to hurt her feelings and she is hard to really talk to when it is something she does not want to hear. I need her to understand, and to help me with the kids. She is the only sitter I have. What do I do???? Please help!!!! Thanks in advance......

I can relate being a single father. I happen to live on the same street as my family, and thus use them as sitters often as well. I have found that sometimes you might have to bite the bullet and PAY someone you know as a sitter. If you have the cash to go out, you should have enough for a sitter as well,even if your guy is paying for everything else.

Mom will not like that. She will wonder WHY you didn't go to her, and that should open up the chance at talking to her to SHOW her you are serious about moving on with your life. You might also see if your Dad can intercede with her.

Just some thoughts. Hope you can get out. It really is a lot tougher than it sounds. Hang in there.

I'll be yur baby daddy.
Well I think that its your life to choose to date, I mean I think that you should only date men that are going to be good to you and your kids. Now as for your mom she is not helping your situation, I mean you could actually find another man who will take care of you and love you. Then you wouldn't have to live with them anymore. I think that she just wants you around and it may be hard on her to think about you leaving. I would just make a date and then just let your mom deal. She may actually like the guy. Just remember your not a little girl anymore.
Hi there I`m 45 I was divorced and had to move home for awhile with my kids it so hard. I think it comes down to if you were hurt in the last relationship your parents do not want to see you hurt again . my parent though the same thing at me. I finely had to get them out of the house to do something . so when something came up for me I could go out . I always had to set thing up a week ahead to let them no I was going out try that. you will soon have to find your own place. to get your life back. I`ve been there you need help e-mail me I try to help you out with my experience.
Ok you are 31 years old not 13 so take charge of your life and destiny...your mom sounds like a control freak and has alot to say because she is afraid for you but you have to take risks....i mean maybe she is afaid because you are someone whom makes bad decisions but if that is the case make that change and move on correctly...life can always change and be wonderful...don't be negative be a light of positveness....YOU ARE FULL GROWN...DO NOT ASK PREMISSION TO DATE! DON'T STAND FOR IT. You can take control of your life without being disrespectful to your mother....and if your happy and set goals and date and move on you and your child will be happier....
