I find what dawn says very thoughtful provoking . You are admittedly disorganized to a point where your son notices you chose restaurants due to the fallout of your disorganization .

Simple solution: get a wallet. But it didn’t take you wanting to make a change for yourself. It was affecting your son, yet you still didn’t make the change.

Now it affects Ms. Sunshine, and you finally pulled the trigger and bought a wallet and only now you can take your son to his favorite restaurant ?

Why does it take a romantic relationship ship and pleasing another woman to make change? I would dig a little deeper into that.

You made improvements in your hone which is great, but it was saying that spurred your changes. Not yourself or your kids who live in that environment . But the fear of Ms. sunshine seeing it.

Maybe it would be helpful to sit down and think of what other positive changes you can make that would be great for yourself and kids that have nothing to dating and pull the trigger on those. See how that feels to want to do it for yourself and to role model for your kids rather than make another woman happy
