[QUOTE="mjhawks, post: 650868, member: 18841"] I actually try to keep my dating life a secret from my girls. I don't think it's something they have any right to know about. And Itty Bit is still holding out hope that me and her dad will get back together. Although, I think that's fading fast as she's discovered he smokes pot, and has become aware of how much he drinks. The problem with keeping it a secret is actually Itty Bit herself. She is so freakin smart and hyper-aware of other peoples feelings. She is super lovey dovey and considerate. And did I mention smart. She is the one to quickly figure out if I'm talking to someone. Like the other day I was sitting on the couch texting and she said "You have a ridiculous grin on your face. You must be talking to a boy." I can deny all I want but she just cocks an eyebrow at me. She's 11. The MOST intuitive person I've ever met. I am trying to balance what I want with what my kids need. And I agree, the longer I wait to mix the two, the better. I have learned from that mistake. I do want Itty Bit to have a positive male role model in the home before she gets too old to see what a good family is. It's a tight rope act, I'll tell you that. [/QUOTE]
