When men are confused

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 24, 2008 ⋅ 26 comments

Maybe it’s because the world feels unsteady right now, as if there’s a constant undertow.
Or maybe it’s because there’s a Capricorn moon with Saturn in Virgo.
All I know is, there’s a comment awaiting moderation right now in response to my post about “Kate Hudson: “Boys, Meet My Son.”
The comment, however, has nothing to [...]

Do you always use a condom?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 4, 2008 ⋅ 31 comments

All this talk about condoms yesterday has inspired me. Well, not inspired, exactly. It has made me a bit manic, to be honest.
To make matters more intense, it just so happens that during Mary Pols‘ book launch party last night for Accidentally on Purpose, she read her infamous chapter about her condom-free one-night stand, [...]

Make Over for Mother’s Day?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ May 10, 2008 ⋅ 12 comments

Heads up: for the past month I’ve been working on making this blog better — for you.
So, just in time for Mother’s Day, I’m re-launching in a new format, one that’s easier to read and multi-media (videos!). I hope the new blog will be more revealing, more real. Thanks for being patient with the changes [...]

Help: How do you have a sleepover when your kid is in the other room?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 14, 2008 ⋅ 36 comments

If you think I’m asking you this for selfish reasons — you’re right.
It was so easy when I was the single mom of a wee little one, like Ms. Single Mama or Chrissy at Glamour.
Back in the days, it was so simple. I could invite a man over — and escort him out the door [...]

Can you guess which single dad I have a crush on?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 14, 2008 ⋅ One comment

He started “it” back in February by sending me this sweet email. I’m a sucker for compliments:
“I really like your blog and website, very well done,” he wrote. “There’s a reason it’s the only single parenting site in my blog roll so far.”
Fortunately, he has since added more bloggers, like Ms. Single Mama . [...]

Do you own a first date skirt?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ March 26, 2008 ⋅ 15 comments

This week, at Single Minded Women, I say that “every single mom needs a first-date skirt.”
But I can’t take credit for this advice. It was my single mom friend, Arden, who gave me this tip very early on, when I was terrified to go on one of my first dates as a single mom, and [...]

I invited the Biologist to our Easter egg hunt

By singlemomseeking ⋅ March 23, 2008 ⋅ 9 comments

And then I promptly disinvited him.
But it wasn’t because I didn’t want to see him. (I really wanted to see him!). Moreover, I really wanted my single mom friends to meet him.
It would have been so convenient: three of my closest single mom girlfriends were all at the Egg Hunt. So, I’d invited the Biologist [...]

Shameless self-promotion, the Spitzers, and the McCartney divorce

By singlemomseeking ⋅ March 18, 2008 ⋅ One comment

If you haven’t read Random Esq’s post today, apparently I made him trip down a flight of stairs yesterday. Not on purpose. I swear!
This “random attorney” — who doesn’t have a single mom girlfriend, but sure has a lot of single mom fans — was reading my email on his cell phone when he was [...]

How do you tell your child that you’re dating?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ March 17, 2008 ⋅ 12 comments

Crazy Computer Dad recently commented that “you really want to make sure you let your children know you are dating.”
He added: “The backlash and alienation can be severe if they learn through some other means or very late in the process.”
As I read Crazy Computer Dad’s advice, I was relieved. After all, Mae is way [...]

Have you ever taken your kid with you on a date?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ March 10, 2008 ⋅ 13 comments

Confession: I have. But not since Mae was three years old. And never on a first date, or a second. But maybe a third.
More than once, I met a new man at the ice cream parlor, with Mae in tow. I’d made it clear to him that this wasn’t about being touchy-feely, this was about [...]
