I prefer women whose kids are adults and living away from her house so they don't get emotionally scarred when I am turning thier mom out.

Married for the first time.... What qualities/characteristics would be important to you as a step-parent/parent for you child/children? Honesty, patience, understanding, compassion, sense of humor, a willingness to be a kid (play with them), be an adult - not their friend, and share the responsibilities. With these there shouldn't be a problem of a criminal record or substance abuse problem. They would be an adult. Good qualities there.

Married for the first time.... What qualities/characteristics would be important to you as a step-parent/parent for your child/children? Must like children. Had to have a healthy childhood,(or at least not be resentful toward parents). Loving Caring Compassionate Thoughtful Not afraid to show authority. Children need a parent to be a parent, not a friend. A sense of humor The ability to listen. Children ALWAYS need to be heard. Tolerant Honest No criminal history No drug or alcohol abuse Not addicted to sex. Porn is a big NO-NO! Patience Non-abusive past. Can't have anyone beating me or my children. So many more qualities, but these are most important.

Not addicted to sex. Porn is a big NO-NO! Just wear the french maid outfit around the house more and we're all good.

Since anyone I marry ( shudder ) would be the one bringing the step children into the relationship ( my daughter will be over 18 by the time that happens ) all I can go on is what I WOULD have wanted. Basically, someone who has patience, who can handle the way I discipline my child, and can be a positive role model. That is important to me - positive role model.

Must like children. Wouldn't that be pretty much a given for you to choose them in the first place?? Loving Caring Compassionate Thoughtful Again, wouldn't these qualities be necessary for you to choose the person in the first place??? Not afraid to show authority. Children need a parent to be a parent, not a friend. Now this one is very tricky. I have been with a couple of women who had absolutely no control of their children. I was told that I had " no right " to do ANY kind of discipline. Couldn't even tell them to go sit down. The ability to listen. Children ALWAYS need to be heard. Tolerant Honest No criminal history No drug or alcohol abuse Not addicted to sex. Porn is a big NO-NO! Patience Refer back to the things that would make you choose this person in the first place. Non-abusive past. Can't have anyone beating me or my children. As the abuser or as the abused???

Married for the first time.... What qualities/characteristics would be important to you as a step-parent/parent for your child/children? In a word, selflessness.
