would you date somebody with children?why or why not?

Answer 1

most deffinetly. I feel that a person has to decide for themselves if they are open enough to except kids from a previous relationship. If you are closed minded or know for sure that you can not get over the fact that they are not yours then it does not mean that you are a bad person it just means you know how you are and being honest with yourself and the person you are getting involved with. Kids should not be introduced into the relationship unless both parties know that it is getting serious and leading to something more. Just because a person has kids does not mean they can not care or love it just means that they have extensions of themselves that require attention and responsibilty (kind of like a job). You would respect their job so do you have it in you to respect their parenting side also?

Answer 2

I have children myself, and I wouldn't have a problem dating a man with kids. I think it's sorta comforting to know that he knows the reality of what kids are like, and doesn't think my kid is an out-of-control brat just because he has a tantrum one day.

Honestly, I think alot of men who don't date women with kids are selfish and often don't date them because of pre-conceived notions. They think single moms are looking for someone to support them, babysit their kids so they can go out. They think we're bitter and have baggage. They think we can never go anywhere. Yes, being a single mom makes dating more difficult, but I'm not looking for anyone to support me or be my kids' daddy. And I have family that take my kids overnight at least once a month, and babysitters on-call. but in reality, my kids will always come first, and if a guy is too selfish to handle that, oh well, he's missing out.

Answer 3

My ex-husband had a child and it was absolutely horrible. He was spoiled and loooved to remind me that 'You're not my mother!'. My ex wasn't good with it either and had no problem taking his side on EVERYTHING, regardless of what it was.

It would have to depend on how my boyfriend allowed the child to treat me I suppose. If he demanded respect then yes, i can see it. If he allowed the child to do whatever he/she wanted just because he was afraid the child wouldn't want to spend time with him, then no I wouldn't. I am very strict with my children and it wouldn't be fair for someone else in their 'family' to have different privliges and rights.

Answer 4

Well being a single father I can tell you that women do find that attractive.

And yes, I would date a woman that had a child.

And before I was a father I did date a woman that had a child.

Answer 5

Dating is just that--nothing serious. But if you really like this person and want to keep dating, you have to remember that their kid will always be first and foremost. That kid will be a part of your life whether you like it or not. The question you should ask yourself is how much you like the kid!

GCW!

Answer 6

Yes...and I have. My guy and I now live together. We have two children each.

The reason I dated someone with children is because, I am a parent myself and it's another thing we have in common.

Answer 7

Im dating someone right now with a kid, hes 8, and hes the cuttest. Were all going to the circus this weekend.

Answer 8

I think it wouldn't really matter depending on how much you really love that person. If you really care about that person, it doesnt matter does it? Well if you ask me, I would say no because I wouldn't want a kid that isnt mind and have to take care of it.

Answer 9

I would. I have no problem with kids since I have one too. If you are attracted to her, and you have a problem because she has kids, then that makes you less attractive to her, right?

Answer 10

I would rather die before hearing "your not my mom" come from a little pissants mouth. No, I WILL NEVER be with anyone who has kids.
