There is definitely a lot to think about when it comes to kids! I have to consider my kids in any equation, not to mention the kids of someone I date! And I have done the "cougar" thing. I tend to attract younger guys, nit sure why... I really cannot imagine myself with an older man. The younger guy was fun. It was a fling, and I knew it wouldn't be anything more. But it was definitely fun and an ego-boost!
