Yeah I know. I guess I was just having a "WTF" moment...
I mean, they are serious about each other, planning on moving in togther, getting married, etc, then the kids would have to know about her, obviously.
But instead he is saying, BECAUSE she cannot live here, BECAUSE she is just a friend, it is okay for the kids to know her and spend time with her.
And yeah, I guess if one of my guy friends who is really just a friend wanted to do something together with my kids maybe at some point I would consider it. But Speech Guy offered to do something with all of us one weekend last year when we had not gone on a date yet, and I still said I would feel uncomfortable having another man around my kids.
So anyway it just came out when he said that. I was like "Really? That's the angle you are going with? She is a 'friend'?" and it made me laugh. I will learn to control that impulse. In fact last night as I was mowing I had a quick thought--if she gets preggers it will be hard to call her just a friend. In the past I would have shared that thought with Dan. This time I just kept mowing...
And now I am starving. Gotta get some lunch here soon.
