Going out on a date

RickHoughton

With her kids.

I'm moving on, (See I want a divorce thread lol) and have a date coming up with a mother of 2, only problem is she is struggling to get a babysitter, so it looks like they'll have to tag along. I dont mind this at all, if we end up "getting together" then I'll have to meet and get on with her kids anyway, so kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak.
Just after some ideas on where to take them.

A garden centre?

You could look at the fish section, play on some of the equipment if it's that sort of place and have a drink and cake in the cafe.

10 pin bowling. Always a hit with the stepkids, or cinema for a kiddy film?

Picnic in the park with a football, frisbee etc?

How old are the kids?
Where are you (e.g. in a city or in a town or in the country - don't necessarily need to post your location).

One is 8, the other is 1. Don't fancy cinema, not a really good place to talk, so not an ideal dating location. I'm in southsea, so thinking of a walk on the seafront, ice creams, and a trip to the fair.

you're not wasting any time are you?

Why don't you sort out your own divorce, your children, before seeing another woman and trying to play perfect daddy to kids you don't even know!!

financegirl

also, why would anyone take their kids along to their first date???

doesn't seem fair on them at all.

you could meet alone after work.lunchbreak etc, there is always sometimes some spare time. I find it very strange that kids would be dragged along on a date

Is that not a bit harsh? Do you know the full circumstances?

Agree, whatever your opinion on the OPs situation, he's asking for advice not judgement.

This may cast a little light on the situation.... here

And TBH, I think it is a bit quick.....but as already noted, we do not know the whole story, only the part that the OP has given.

Thank you Sherlock, he already mentioned about that thread in his first post.;)
