Your current bf buys stuff for your kids?


So they had 4 daddys within the last year? The real dad, then couch guy, nice guy with small house, and now the needy guy?


If you think that your current bf is too clingy, why don't you just see him a few times a week - and keep him away from your kids, they really don't need to see another man around their mom all the time.

4) Is willing to be a father figure (but if I recall you don't want a guy with his own kids)
5) Is warm and cuddly when you want, but
6) Lets you have total freedom to go out whenever to do whatever you want when you don't want warm and cuddly (and he damn well better have the house painted when you get home).




It seems like you want a guy that has a great job but otherwise stands in the corner doing whatever you tell him to do whenever you tell him to do it. I think the odds of finding this guy are pretty slim.
I think you have my list pretty well figured out. You did a better job than I think I could even do. May I use this the next time I try online dating?

Yes he pays for lots of things for them.

My kids never have dads. They still see couch guy. Needy guy scared off nice guy with small house. Lol I can't even go to the bathroom without him waiting on the other side of the door. Dog, 3 cats and a man standing and waiting. And people wonder why I want to stop for a beer? Alone time.

I have to give you an A+ for being a tale spinner. If you could put in some drawl and banjo, you'd be a good draw on the Appalachian gut bucket circuit.

Honest to god, this is my real life. I have people that call me weekly for life updates because it is so flipping entertaining.

But I am slowly figuring out exactly what I want and what I refuse to put up with.

Have kids first. Figure out who you are later. Brilliant.

I would think that some self improvement would serve better than a shopping list of male traits.

I will be the first to say having a kid young is awful. Even worse when you have not found your place in life and you are responsible for dragging another little person on the journey. But I have done the best that I can. But life would have been way easier taking the conventional way of meeting someone, fall in love, marriage then kids. I have been spending the last 14 years trying to put the cart back behind the horse. Failing all the time.

See and that is where I have an issue. I happen to love who I am. I don't want to change anything about me. I just want someone that loves me how I am without wanting to change me.
