Any other single mother's have this problem with dating?

I am a single mother and have my son 24/7. I'm living with my parents, because being a single mother and getting no assistance, I can't afford to live on my own with him. I started dating this guy about 6 months ago, and he is also a single father who lives with his parents for the same reason. We spend maybe 4 hours a week together if that for alone time. My parents watch my son once a week for me to go out with him, but my curfew is at 11pm. He can stay out as long as he wants but has to get his son to bed first which is about 8:30pm. I don't know anyone else to watch my kid, and even still I would have to be home at a decent hour, I've looked into night daycares but they are way to expensive, so that's as much as we see eachother. I'm really worried that our relationship may not survive. We talk about progressing in our relationship and getting a place together but that wouldn't be for months, and heck we are still stuck at first base. Anybody else been through this? What happend?

Its ok to take it slow. If he is talking about a future, just take your time and get to know him better. Its a big step you are talking about taking. There is nothing wrong with first base while you are getting to know each other!
Reply:never been through that because my mom would always babysit for me. but i would suggest that maybe he come to see you after he puts his son down for the night so he can get more aquainted with you and your parents. maybe if they like him better then they will give you more time out. also you should try to do somethings where the kids can go. like get a double hotel room once a month so the kids can swim or something and the two of you can spend time together as well
Reply:At 6 months, I think it is OK for you all to meet. Take the kids to a movie, the park, whatever.


For more alone time, you might try meeting earlier in the day, like Saturday afternoon and spending the day together so that by 11pm, you have spent about 10 hours together!


Honestly, life changes once you have a kid. You can't expect to have alone time and date time like a single person. Even if you are married, time with a spouse is precious and rare once kids are added.
Reply:Can't you speak to your parents and ask them to babysit 2 times a week, instead of one? And how old are you that they are still giving you a curfew? Sounds like this is going no where fast. Until you can move out on your own and away from your parents strict (and weird) rules, I'd leave dating as a distant thought and worry about your son instead until you can freely date.
Reply:at first when i got spareted I thougth that no one was going to see my children like I was ,,, but I was wrong there are good man out there,,, I always tell the men to not see my kids like their kids to see them like friends,,
