Now usually, boys don't want their mothers getting new boyfriends but two of my sons said that they feel I need one.
I was having a conversation with my 14-year old and he asked, "mom are you okay?" and I said yes. He said, "you need a boyfriend!" and of course it sent me for a loop because that was the last thing I expected him to say. It is nearly 2 years since my last relationship that was 5 years long. Maybe they see a change in me that they don't like.
I asked my 15-year old, "so what kind of man do you think I need? I have an idea but I want to hear your opinion." He said that I need a man that is working, that is not mean, one who would treat me right. The way he looks is up to me to choose and that I need to go on some dates and trust the person.
I asked my 14-year old the same question and he said, "someone that makes you laugh." You know, one minute they are getting on my last nerve but then they go and pull a stunt like this. I love those guys

You are really blessed to have so cute children who think so much about you. Its not usual that children tell their mom to have a boyfriend. This shows your relation with your children....he is so matured at the age of 15.

It sounds like you raised really good kids. And maybe they also need a male role model in their life.

Hi. They are really good, caring boys. I bet their words made you feel warm inside. It's true that children usually don't want their moms to be in a new relationship with a guy even though their moms may really need a man. But your sons are so considerate and supportive of your getting a new boyfriend. I would have been very grateful for their understanding if I were in the same situation. Anyway, good luck!

well Linda how sweet and loving your kids are.I think you are a good mother and you showered them so much love in their cup that they wanna fill your cup, too. Thy are not selfish and they love you so much that's why they really thought of your happiness. Maybe they have noticed that there is something missing in your life and they want you to be happy and maybe they want a father figure, too.

Aww how sweet. I think a lot of adults think children are stupid but I swear that children can sense trouble and problems. And since they are your own flesh and blood then of course they are going to know that something is up with you,
Your boys sound so sweet and like someone has already said in this discussion, you have really raised some wonderful young boys.
All the best!
