Honestly ...my daughter is almost 18..I feel like I am in the home stretch ..I honestly would not want to start over with young kids. I wouldn't mind if they were my daughter's age or older. But I want my freedom now. I have waited a long time for it.

personaly.. i dont run from guys with kids..
i dont date based on kids or no kids.. i have 4 of my own.. and i figure that if he can care about me and my kids and his.. more power to him..

i date based on the person, who he is.. how he treats me AND my kids.. and i would hope that he would do the same to meflowerforyou :heart:

who have kids? it seems that most women have te attitude that they have raised their own and are done with that scene. am i wrong?


I left my husband twice, because of his son. His son disrespected me all the time and stole my child's things and would lie about it. We are now in the process of divorcing all because his Dad was blind to the things his son did.....even after his son appologized to me for what he did.


16

How old is his child?


Mine are twin boys raised upright and loving and very well behaved. I am worried that the society and their mother would spoil what has been achieved. 7 years old they make their bed they share they bicker but never fight loving and respectful Thank you sorry and Please always. But still women like the lady says nest empty she doesn't want to know

I never had as many children as I thought I would. Not a turn off for me. WHAT IS A TURN OFF..... Is if the ex-husband is in a bad relationship with his ex-wife and they are having a pissing contest, doing mean things with each other via the children......... :angry:

Good morning terrible when kids are used as pawns people are stupid they ruin their lives as well as their kids

I haven't been seriously involved with another person that has children. I don't have a problem with it, but I think that there is a difference btw a women with kids and a man with kids. There seems to pose different problems. My concern with dating someone that has children is that someone might have the attitude of me being the primary caregiver. I have no problem being a care giver, but I think that the biological parents should be the primary.

I have been a single mother pretty much my son's whole life, I do not expect a future partner or husband to be the primary caregiver, but would appreciate help.

My friends say Bob you cook, you sew, you clean , kids turn out smart and balanced, not only that you fight to keep it that way from the disarray of the other party. You don't need a wife you do it all. But that is the trouble women from outside can not see that .

Mine are raised and out on their own, Don't want kids now, been there done that, It's all about me and whomever I end up with now. Kids are really a pain in the ass nowdays. But if I found someone that had them I am sure i would sing a different note, but as it stands now, don't want themdrinker

i think every situation is different... for me i prefer to look for someone whos children are near the age of my own... for then you are more and likely in the same place in life.... however....... then you have to go with how those kids treat you.. and if the father teaches them to respect you also. cause since you arent really their mom its not your place to teach them that.. i guess this goes for older kids though not 2 yr olds... and to say that your partner should be less than your kids just doesnt seem right to me just my opionion.. for if one has thier kids on a weekend and totally ignores and disrespects you in front of their kids is wrong.. when kids are there and you are treated differently than when they are not there doesnt cut it for me anyways.... best of luckflowerforyou

people normally shy away from things that are not commmon to them. Includes both men and women. Boils down to a personal choice, like everything else in life.

Good luck to all, remain open and true to yourselves, everything else will fall into place.

laugh laugh however a man with kids can make a woman run....laugh laugh even if the woman doesnt mind having kids around and vise versa.... and be perfectly fine with the next one that has kids..... so its not always the kids fault at all is what im trying to say if it doesnt work ... but the actions of the parentsflowerforyou

I don't run from a man with kids, because being a single Mom myself that would be pretty hypocritical of me! Plus, knowing a man loves and is dedicated to his kids usually means he gets more points with me! :wink:

However, since the #1 cause of first-marriage divorces is finances, and the #1 cause of second-marriage divorces is the(step)kids...you have to give it some thought. If the man I welcome into my life permanently has kids, we're doing "blended family" counseling. It's a great tool to help everyone adapt to the situation, bringing fears and concerns to the surface so you can deal with them head on, and set the perimeters needed to build a new life together. Well, in theory anyway......flowerforyou

I guess it would depend on the man AND the children.

I am just out of a three year relationship because the 21 year old "princess" moved back home with us (I was living with her dad). She decided she didn't want anyone taking ANY of daddy's time, and made it perfectly clear that she wanted me out, and daddy all to herself. Sooooo, right now it is too soon for me to even think about a relationship with a man that has children that live at home. The hurt is still too fresh.
