This isn't fair to anybody. Certainly not your kids ... They are young & they need you 100%. You can't be out there binge-dating or introducing them to every "dude-of-the-month". Try Big Brothers or something similar, for male role models/mentors.
It's not fair to you because it sounds like you were caught off guard & you are not ready for dating.
And it's not fair to the guys out there because you really are not looking for "them" ... You are "Daddy-Shopping". I doubt many guys do OLD to be recruited for all that!
Did you divorce you husband or kill him? Why isn't he the children's "father figure" since he's, you know, their father?
Firs post; likely a troll, but I wish to make a comment.
My ex thought that she could have it both ways: do everything possible to alienate me, and then write a "woe is me post" about how the kids don't have a father in their lives.
She was going to run the show.
Well, she ended up running me out of the show, and suffered for it. As did the children.
It took nearly a decade, but when the children turned 18 they made their own choices. Since then I have enjoyed a healthy relationship with my children, and only regret the damage which may have been done to them while growing up, and later on, their view of healthy adult relationships.
No amount of court orders can enforce what one party does not want to happen. It takes two people, working constructively, to ensure the children have everything they deserve when growing up.
In the OP's case, there may be more to the situation than meets the eye. Too bad they never came back after the drugs wore off.
Pretty sure this is elaborate spam for that foreign dating "tour."
Ahhhh! Yeah, I believe you are probably right. I have noticed a lot of them, English doesn't seem to be their first language, but just figured "well, it's an international forum". But I didn't catch the reference to the international dating site.
And it's not fair to the guys out there because you really are not looking for "them" ... You are "Daddy-Shopping". I doubt many guys do OLD to be recruited for all that!
You didn't mention that "daddy-shopping" is virtually impossible in today's world. Times have changed. It's 2018, not 1988. Which means that lots of men are Red Pilled nowadays. So they can sense "daddy-shopping" from a mile away. Which means, if the movie "Look Who's Talking" came out today, it would be laughably unrealistic, rather than heartwarming.

Get the kids involved in extracurriculars with positive male role models - perhaps a martial art or scouting?
