Single mom? Don't make your kids your boyfriend

If you don't have a romantic partner but are a parent, it can be tempting to hug your kids too much, share too many details about your life -- essentially turning your kid into an adult partner. This is understandable -- I've stepped on that slippery slope -- but very dangerous for your family and yourself. It also underscores the importance of recognizing your need to date. Single moms need to date -- and you kids need you to date.
