I won't date a woman with only one kid. There are so many childless women out there why should I? With so many children you wouldn't have any time to devote to a man in your life.

I'm still not convinced a person with NO kids will find love, let alone one with children.

I wouldn't date a man with 5 kids. Its hard enough finding someone with no kids and I don't even care to have any of my own. But I also have the view that we need to keep our population under control and having more then 2 kids is outright irresponsible.

Someone once told me, stop looking... and added an anecdotal phrase, "WHy do you really care so much about not being single any longer?" I thought deeply about that question... it turned out, they were right. May not be the case for you, but you never know... stop thinking so hard about it, enjoy your kids... what else is there?

Good answer!



It can be done though. I had 4 wee ones (years back) and found someone with kids of his own to share life with. They used to call
us the Brady Bunch. (He has since passed away).

Just be super-duper careful out there! Lot more to worry about with
children these days. Alot of crazies out there just looking for
someone with kids. Sick- sick world this has become.

Sit back, relax, make friends. Sometimes when we don't try so
hard... things just fall into place. Mean while enjoy those
babies and life with them. They grow up soooooooo fast!
Good luck to you. flowerforyou

um, am i the only one out here who

a) loves kids
b) has been on both sides of the 'package deal'
c) knows that whether they come from my loins or into my heart, just how precious and rewarding the give and take love of a child is

I am a single mom of five and support them by myself not looking for a daddy and not looking for someone to pay for their needs thats my job. Oh and by the way I get this question all the time the first four have the same dad who lives in another state and see's them maybe once a year and the baby her daddy is just gone. I am more looking for someone to hang out with, laugh with and just be me. I work more than full time plus go to college on-line. My kids are pretty freaking amazing we work as a team and there a little more grown up then most. In our house they know what they need to do and they are very much loved. My oldest daughter call's us the ohana family which means family nobody gets forgotton or left behind. So my question is how can a mom of five find a real man who will see past a woman having five children?


sounds like you're doing a great job.
spending time in and at activities where other families have fun will expose you to men who love children and families as much as you do. trust me, we're out here.

I sort of feel for you. I am a now single mom of 3. I have been a homemaker pretty much since 2004. And not dating in 15 years kinda makes it all confusing even more! I wish you the most of happiness and best of luck!

love anyone can find love,if effort is put into searching for it. a person cannot expect it to come knocking at the door,as many do. it involves work and not just wishing for a dream to come true. be seeing you

I saw your post and thought back on the successful relationships I have known. Some of the best couples I know and have known, brought kids into the marriage. The trick is to get your face out there so you can find each other.

Yes you can. Not all men are so self centered as to not liking someone elses children just because they aren`t their father.

When my wife and I started dating in 1981. I knew that she had 2 sons. We were married in 1983. My wife`s sons thought of me as their dad. I Loved and helped raise her sons as if they were my own.My wife could not have any more children. That fact did not bother me.As far as I was concerned I had 2 sons already.

My oldest son was killed almost 7 years ago. My heart still aches. My wife passed away in Jan. 2007. I lost the LOVE of my life that day. My heart still aches. I miss her more and more everyday.

My surviving son and I hang out a lot.He tells me that everything he learned about being a dad, he learned from me. I LOVE him dearly.

So yes my dear. You can find love on here, and there is a good man on here somewhere that will Love you and your children unconditionally.

My best advice I could give you is don't worry about finding love if it is meant to be it will happen.

Instead focus on your kids and raising them. And yes that is what I did even though I only had 2 kids that is what I focused on.

Was I a hermit noooooo I dated but it was with those that accepted me and my kids and realized most of my attention was going to be towards my kids.

Now they are grown and hell can't even get a date go figure noway :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

heheheh Pats hunny thats JUST MY KIDS that scare the hell out of people !!! Its quite entertaining at times...


Back on topic.. you can find love with 5 kids.. It is possible and not all men are weirded out by that many kids.. Ive seen some people say you wouldnt have time with all the kids for a man in your life. Thats so not true either .

Good for you for working and supporting your children and going to school and still making time to try and make yourself happy.

Good luck hunny
