While she is getting her “Second, Second Chance at Love,” she still will not bend when it comes to putting her four kids first. She has raised four amazing children, Allison, Nicholas, Erica, and Luke, and has no intention of sacrificing her valued time with them. However, she knows that since she cares about family a new man will also have ties to his family as well. She is willing to prioritize and compromise to make it work but knows they may spend a lot of time apart.

But her daughter remembers the lesson that came with that was “embarrassing.” She said that guys would drive up and honk from the driveway or call their cell phones. Sassily, she reenacts Joan saying, “Do not answer that phone or go outside, that boy is coming to the door.” Then, Joan interjects, “OR HE’S NOT COMING AT ALL.”
