MZ- I think she just means that she isn’t planning on introduce any potential boyfriends to her son until she knows that the relatinship is serious.

Laura- Yes, and the movie Tron is actually based on a computer game of the same name. That said, I actually like the name for a boy.

Chili looks great at 38. I have my doubts about her finding love on a dating reality show. However, I wish her the best.

She is so pretty and looks way younger than 38. Her son is at the age where I’m sure he can figure things out.

I can kind of see what she’s saying. Its probably better to introduce a boyfriend as a friend and see how they interact than introduce him as a bf and add a seriousness that doesn’t need to be there. As far as affection goes, if your child sees your with a multitude of bfs and being affectionate they can definitely get the wrong idea. And I don’t know shes plans to conduct herself on the show, but I don’t see it being THAT hypocritical.

I have a preteen son and a teenage son who are just experiencing the beginning of their own sexual issues. The last thing my boys need or want is to think of their mom having sex with a bunch of guys and no matter how few partners women think they have, to kids it’ll seem like a lot. I know it’s hard for Chilli to be a 30-something single mom looking for love but I think she’s finding the middle ground between being an individual and being a mom.

I’m a single parent my kids are my number one priority.I consider myself a great mom.That is why I would never bring anyone I’m dating around my kids.Kids get attached very easily and that is why I have choosen to protect their little hearts.Their emotional needs come before my own.I really don’t get Chilli saying that “when you are a great mom it’s hard not to bring someone you are dating around your kid”.

She’s doing a dating reality show, but doesn’t want her son to see her dating lots of other guys? He’s 12…does she think he won’t hear about the show at school, even if he’s not meeting all these guys? Or is she doing some other sort of reality show?

As someone who was raised by a single mother, I think she’s smart to have done that. Granted, my mom didn’t date anyone when we were young. But obviously, she doesn’t want her child to grow attached to someone she may or may not break up with later on.
