🌎 Fears and Reality
When you're a mother, your priorities certainly change. Children become the center of your world, and this can lead to feelings of guilt or fear that the new relationship will harm their well-being. However, it is important to remember that a happy parent is the best example for children.

💥 Fear 1: “I don’t have time for my personal life”
Children, especially small ones, require a lot of time and attention. Finding a balance between caring for them and your personal life can be difficult. But that doesn't mean it's impossible. Planning, support from family and friends, and open communication with your new partner can help you find the time you need.

💥 Fear 2: “The children won’t accept my new partner”
This is perhaps one of the most common fears. Children may feel jealous or afraid that a new person in their life will replace one of their parents. Graduality and openness are important here. Give your children time to get used to the new person and don't rush things. Explain that no one will replace their dad and the new person is just another friend and support.

💥 Fear 3: “The new partner will not want to deal with my children”
If your partner is sincerely interested in a relationship with you, he will understand and accept the fact of having children. It is important to discuss this issue immediately and make sure that he is ready for this responsibility. A partner who isn't ready to accept your children is probably not someone you should be in a serious relationship with.

🌎 Benefits of relationships when you have children
Having children can make your relationship even stronger. Here are a few reasons why:

🌸 You know what you want
Parenting often teaches us to be more patient, understanding and responsible. These qualities are incredibly valuable in any relationship.

🌸 You can quickly recognize your partner's true intentions
People who are ready to accept you and your children are most likely serious in their intentions. This helps to avoid empty hopes and disappointments.

🌸 Your children can become an important part of your new relationship
A new partner can be a positive influence in your children's lives, a friend and support. Together you can create a new, harmonious family.

🌎 Tips for a successful relationship
If you're ready for a new relationship, here are some tips to help you along the way:

1. ☝️ Be honest. Honesty is the key to any successful relationship. Tell your new partner about your children and your expectations.
2. ☝️ Don't rush. Give yourself and your children time to get used to the new person.
