Is it a bad idea to date a women with kids ? How do you make the relationship last ?

Well, if you are Woody Allen, you move on
to the kids when done with the mom.

Excellent question.If the children are under ten its best not to introduce the new person until it seems likely that the relationship is serious and that the two people are wanting a permanent arrangement. Small children should not be subjected to having a variety of temporary people in their presence as they bond easily and should not have to be victimized by adults who are simply dating. Keep dating away from the children so as to minimize their potential harm of being rejected when the adults simply move on.

Not a problem as long as the kids are grown and gone.

Well of coarse, but that's not what I was asking lol. I said KIDS not ADULTS lol.

That was baaad!

well if u care enough about the girl the kids fit in to place to and theres no harm stepping in were someone else screwed up

This woman is gold. :)

Eish!!I don.t think is a bad idea.kids don.t know nothing.

So Bad, No Comments..

I like this....never seen it put quite that way. It's an awesome "cup's half full" response!

I was a single father, my son is grown up now though and left home. When it came to dating women with kids though, I saw such double standards with some women, that it was enough to make me think twice before I would ever do so again. I'm not saying all single mums are like that, but once bitten twice shy. Some would expect me to drop everything for them and their kids and forget my own in the process? No way was that happening! Some others would just try and use me for my money, as i've always earned good wages, but I wasn't going to be a glorified cash machine for anyone, except my own kid. As I said, I know that not all women are like that, but then again, some are! At the end of the day, my kid came first, just like most of those womens kids did. That's understandable, but I would rather date a woman with no kids. That way if we do have kids, it will be my own that i'll be raising!

I have 3 young children all 8 years & under.. I am divorced and have been single for a year now, i completely understand what the single dad above has said as i too have seen women like this .. i cant imagine introducing someone im dating to my kids though any earlier than 6 months of being serious.. its hard for me as well as i dont want any man to feel as if im trying to make him an instant daddy replacement.

I like women older than me..

If u love someone I think kids should also become part of your love

What if the other person treats your kid like a 2nd class citizen though? That wasn't on as my kid was everything to me and he came first in my life, not last. So I walked away from those women and brought him up alone. Simple as!

It would all depend on what she served them with.

I personally like mashed taters and hushpuppies.

Thats an understanding between both of u... gotta be from both sides if u need to be together

it depends on how responsible you are cuz you will be the dad , you should love them and they will love you back, take care of them ...etc , if you can deal with that then i'll say it's fine , you might think that i'm young and don't know anything, simply that's false lol.

i have a son thats 12 yrs old....its hard not knowing if a guy will except you have a child/children as it can be also the other way round.

The issue i have is my lad has high functioning autism,so a man would have to also learn about autism and the delights and lows it can bring..not to mention that some days i may be a grumpy cow,not because im hormanal but purely 'cause i'm mentally knackered.
