Kids talk.

Talk with the kids went well, as usual, I over analyzed and overestimated their thought process for their age. They were just as nonchalant about my "friend" as they were about the divorce.

I said to both, "What would you think if "friend" was more than a friend? Like what would you think if he was my boyfriend?"

Buggy says, "Do you like him like more than a friend, mom?"

"Yes, I do honey."

"Why?" She asked.

"He makes me laugh and he's kind." I responded.

"MOOOOMMMMM, does *he* know you like him?"

I wanted to respond with, "yes, I passed him a note in the hall."

"Yes, he knows I like him Buggy. He likes me too."

"Cool" was all she had to say.

Bubba's was a shrug followed by his request for what he'd like for dinner.

So bottom line, they like him, they like his kids, so we're golden. I assured them that we weren't moving in together or doing anything crazy like getting married...so that's it.

All that worrying, all that analyzing, for naught. Kids, they are pretty resilient. Us adults, well, we take more time.

  6. Yeah, sometimes we don't give kids enough credit. For the most part they just want their parents to be happy.

    You know, unless they're little evil shits.

  8. I have to agree, we way over think things don't we. I am so glad that it went that smoothly! You have a great set of kids. And what a priceless answer of what he wanted for dinner.

  9. talking helps, much better to tell them now then for them to find out without telling. I suspect that's the part that helped the most

  13. Well, if you didn't worry about it they would have freaked and then you would have felt guilty, so I am glad this is the way it went!
