Do men / women really mind if someone they want to date has children?

All depends on the person when I was younger and had small kids no I did not mind...


Now mine are older and grown I don't date anyone that is still raising kids

I prefer to not date someone who has kids, that’s just the way I feel! I don’t have or want any, and I am happy with that. My life is full of peace and tranquility . I someday hope to find who I am seeking to share my life with

Dating someone with a child under 18 is a challenge but not impossible

I hope not...I have an 8 yr old...so I guess that may be challenging...

hello... I like your reply

Hahaha

Some do. Some don't.It's different for everyone.

When i was younger, I would have said no. Now that I am older and could take care of someone, it wouldnt matter.

It's ok with me.. personality and compatibility matter not the other things..

Only if his kids don't live at home anymore. My kids are adults, I'm not interested in a family situation.

I have done that btw, with my second partner. So his 2 kids and mine. EXTREMELY difficult. Both come from a different background style in upbringing and it's not easy to combine these. You really have to see eye to eye as partners in how you are going to create a new style together. Kids will object and you will have to both be willing to stick to it and to support your partner when the going gets tough.
Too much hard work. People are inclined to give in to their own kids complaints -esp when they raise a good point- or are too lenient towards the other's kids out of fear of being regarded a biotch.

Many men my age still have younger kids, often living with him. Not for me. Been there, done that. I got my freedom back, well-earned after raising kids, and I intent to keep it.

Hi!!I think yes, because a child is part of the sentimental world of the one who gave birth to him,

Nah. Put the kids in front of a gaming system, give them $30 for some pizza, access to all the sugar they can handle and they will entertain themselves. Date night is a go!

I guess it depends on the man or woman.

I imagine people who are not living with children in their life don't want to be responsible for anyone else's. But those who are raising their own children may find it an appealing commonality to share with someone else that understands the responsibilities and priorities children can take in one's life.

And there are some who have been accused or convicted of some legal sexual offense and cannot be around children at all.

It just all depends.

My son is 26 so I am not looking to date someone with minor children.

I have a son whose just 1.5 years Would you date me

He's a handsome boy.

no dear

Nice to hear everyone's opinion xx

I'm not going to be dating someone with children. If he has adult kids not at home, ok. I chose not to have kids and can't see myself, at this point in my life, having kids around that aren't even mine.
