Would you accept someone with children of any age?

Notice I didn't specify women as dads are likely to be raising kids too!

As for me, I enjoy children so a woman can have children and still be a viable partner for me. Just wondered how everyone else feels on this.

she was his 3rd wife and she had 5step kids around her own age

she didnt see that as a problem

I don't date single mothers anymore. There was a time when I did, but there's just too much drama.

I would do, er, I mean, date a single mom.
NSA.
I can spoil grandkids really well. Then, send 'em home for the parents to deal with them.

Addedly, if a woman has a grown, able-bodied kid at home tells me she hasn't raised it to be self-reliant or independant.

Thats a hard one,if both have children i think it could be great to have this extended family even with all the issues involved.But to get that! would mean living close to each other in the first place,it would be impossible for a divorced father say, who see's his children on a regular basis to give that up and move further affield.Or to have a mother to move nearer to ones self leaving behind the childrens friends and family.

Well I cheat cuz I am staying in Dallas. Fortunately it is a large metroplex (6-7 million) so plenty of women available. Just finding them is hard.

I have many single Lady friends that have kids. The kids seem to drift towards me. They kind of latch on to me. I respect Ladies with kids. Besides the kids can say the strangest thing at times. I have seen more kid shows than I care to. But if invited I will go.

as a single parent myself, and being 42, I actually prefer somoene with parenting experience at this stage in their life


the only consideration is not the childrens age, but their 'personalities',,,,,,,I dont want to have to be competing with or disrespected by children,,,

I think the most important thing to keep this type of dating going is the man accepting the kids as part of him and treating them well and also the kids accepting the man and respecting him as they respect their dad.

I'd rather find a woman with no kids, but that's pretty much non-xistent anymore, so I guess kids don't matter.

All children are great. Yes they create drama, but only if you allow that. Like MsHarmony said, someone with experience around kids is preferable. He would have to be amazing before I would let any man near my child. I am sure single dads feel the same way

There is no easy answer to this for me. I want to say yes, but in the end there are certain factors that would come into play such as the drama issue and what exactly she is really looking for.

I would have to really review the individual situation, but for the most part, no I do not care if she has kids.
