I married and had kids fairly young,I also divorced fairly young.I spent most of my time alone rearing my kids,the dating I did do was kept pretty far away from home.Divorced moms with kids were looked upon as "damaged goods" by a lot of men and I had no desire to subject myself or my kids to that kind of thing.The divorce had been bad enough,they didn't deserve more misery

Fast forward,my kids are grown and gone,suddenly I get hit on by more than a few guys who married and had kids late,well they're now divorced doing the co-parenting thing and having trouble coping with being 40 something dealing with their pre-school or young elementary school age children and hoping to hook up with a g/friend who will cook,clean and pitch in for child care duties and who might provide some help with their often hefty child support payments.

Well,guess what? My patience for young kids is gone pretty much,I enjoy the freedom to sleep late,travel,work varying hours
and just do my own thing.I prefer men who are childless or who's children are grown.

"To everything there is a season" and my season for dealing with young children on a regular basis is over
