CORRECTION: In the episode I mention that I will link an episode about having tricky conversation but I indeed do not have such an episode. I believe I talk about having tricky conversations in episode 20 that is linked below...but don't quote me on this.

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of being the default parent while navigating the dating world. The default parent is often the one who shoulders the majority of parenting responsibilities, which can be particularly challenging when trying to balance personal life and dating. We discuss the importance of boundary setting and resource identification as key strategies to manage these challenges. Whether it's having difficult conversations with a co-parent about equitable parenting responsibilities or identifying external resources like family, friends, or childcare services, these steps can help create the necessary space for personal growth and dating.

We also explore the potential of dating as a future resource, where a healthy romantic relationship can introduce a supportive partner into the family dynamic. This episode offers practical advice on how to communicate effectively with a co-parent, utilize available resources, and prepare for future opportunities as children grow. The discussion emphasizes the importance of being proactive in creating a balanced life that accommodates both parenting duties and personal aspirations, ultimately leading to fulfilling romantic relationships.
