It's Monday again and I am still not getting much sleep, so I wake tired and feeling slow after a really enjoyable, relaxed weekend with friends.
I’m sorting drinks for the kids and trying to squeeze in 5 minutes of exercise before my shower. When I get a few messages from the app.
They seem nice enough for a Monday morning. So I sent a couple of pleasantries back but I am honest so I mentioned I’m feeling tired.
One of them is tired too, but apparently this is due to being too horny when the sun comes out.
Don’t really know what to say to this but I tell him I have no sympathy.
I then head to the shower.
I come out and see how my son is getting on getting ready for school and other morning essentials, when the guy responds with
‘I bet you taste good’.
Seriously!!
I haven’t even had my breakfast yet and he is thinking about a whole different meal.
It's not even 8am, why is this person not getting up for work and not just getting up?
Who in their right minds wants to talk dirty on a Monday morning?
I have the urge to reply in a motherly way. Asking if he should be getting ready for work instead of thinking about me.
Or perhaps ‘I’m sure I do but you’re never going to find out’
I opt to avoid replying entirely and instead concentrate on trying to get my depressed daughter to leave her bed and hopefully bedroom.
An hour later when I am sitting with her on the floor and she is crying her eyes out and I am feeling the hurt only a mother feels when she can’t fix everything for their children whilst also trying to work out how to juggle all the other things I need to get done before I can leave the house for work, it truly hits me how ridiculous the guys comment was.
‘Oh if only you could see me now’ I think. ‘You wouldn’t give a damn about how I taste’
Low and behold his profile vanishes from the site. So another faker has been reported and blocked by someone.
It makes me just a little proud that we are getting rid of them bit by bit.
I think it might be a losing battle though.
