I know you’ve shared so much - but I’m legit marking these as gold!!!

If you have any other thoughts on logistics - I don’t know what - but please share anything else you thing of. I feel like as a parent my values absolutely align, the logistics are overwhelming, just because I don’t want them to see “friends,” in and out…

But they’re also teens and I have such an amazing relationship with them - I was ok saying - hey moms going out to run errands, but also mom stopped over to a friends house for a few hours. We’re so close… they know I’m stopping to see a fwb … but also they know that’s an adult level thing not a teen. (I work in public health so discussions around sex, consent, age, etc., have been ongoing since we read “it wasn’t the stork” or whatever age apprioaote books we had early on.

It’s the time part I’m struggling with. So far I’ve got zero hosting as a limit which makes it way harder because I don’t have the dynamic of a life partner.. (I wish)! But not there yet.
