You are a funny woman in that show. I wonder if it's real though.

I think that children compliment a relationship rather than harm it. Women who are single mothers demonstrate a certain aire' of responsibility that rarely shows up in single or divorced women who have no children. The male knows that that a woman who has children is characteristically stronger, more mature, demonstrates leadership, and can handle anything. Also as a male myself, I prefer to think about pretty unmarried moms more than single women anyway. Any man who cannont accept a woman with children is either shying away from his own fears or is egocentric.Entry Word: egocentric
Function: adjective
Text: overly concerned with one's own desires, needs, or interests

Writers:  Last webisode was not bad showing a little more realistic discomfort with Heather getting back into the dating scene.  Those kids still need to be the comedic distraction...for no other reason than the show will be it's best if kids ARE IN the Motherhood!  At very least have them run throughthe scene.  With the boy and girl the character has she'd hardly get to have time to sit with girlfriends for very long without an interruption.  Especially as a single mom.  They could run through as she's getting dressed, not even caring about that (though the moms would be nervous of needing to explaing the "why's").  They could just breeze through, mom barks orders to "slow down" and that she'll be right with them after they go downstairs (suggest older reads to younger for a "prize" in order to buy more time with friends!)  It will all be more realistic and FUNNY!

Suggestion for the show: Your character should focus on the kids rather than on getting a date.  It will be FUNNIER as opportunity knocks and mom isn't quite ready or prepared to take the plunge again.  That's more authentic for a show about moms rather than looking like every other show.  This isn't "Desparate Housewives" either.  Different show...different motives.  Have the writers try that. :)

Hi Heather,

I can relate easily. but listen, you don't need to date just yet., enjoy yourself first. when i got divorced it had only been 3 mos, when my first boyfriend when i was 15 yrs old came knockin on the door telling me how he never got over me, and that he always thought about me. He didn't sweep me off my feet now did he? ya, ok.. well, we've moved in together, and we've been engaged for 4 years,

what is wrong with this picture.. take your time.. find yourself.
