life, but rest assured that eventually they willcome around. As you begin uncovering the new you, it's not wrongto make time for yourself, but when it seems appropriate,include your children. You are a mom first, and you would notwant to sacrifice the needs of your children. Maintain momentsof "single" freeness to time with your friends and not in frontof your children. As you begin dating again, feeling silly,giddy and young, do it in a way that doesn't affect them.Introducing a lot of casual dates into your children's lives cancause anxiety and confusion. Reassure them that your date is nota replacement for "dad" or them. You would not want yourchildren to feel they are being abandoned. Your children stillneed to know that you are the parent and that they can depend onyou to provide the love and emotional stability they need.
