women dating single dads with full custody of the kids?

Question

I have full custody of my kids and I was wondering?

Usually its the women who end up with the kids and everything else. With that in mind, men are the ones who have to deal with the woman's kids if there are any.

How would women deal with the kids that live with dad full time? Or, does it matter to them?

Answer 1

I can see how women without kids would stay away, but being a single mom for 6 years I can tell you the men sure run fast when you tell them youre a single mother.

I think anyone with kids- who likes kids in general- will be more accepting of your children.

Answer 2

I am actually in this situation right now. I am a single mom and I am starting to date a single dad that has full custody. I think that it is great. A woman loves seeing that you are responsible and how you will be as a father if you end up having a life with more children in the future. I understand the questioning of yourself and how you are not sure how you will be perceived, but keep your chin up. You are probably at a point in your life where you only want responsible mates and having your children in the picture will help you to keep your focus when dating. Hope this was some sort of help. Good luck dad!

Answer 3

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/cIots

Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

I'm sure it depends on the woman, the dad, and the kids involved. That being obvious, I would caution, based on personal experience, that some women encounter a great deal of difficulty in accepting and adjusting to their boyfriend's/husband's children, and their subsequent role as stepmother. If the mother is still in the picture, a woman may feel jealousy or competition with both the ex and the children for her new partner's attention. She may come to resent the influence that the ex has in the life that she and her partner share, and may come to see the children as inconvenient intrusions.
On the other hand, if she is completely open to the situation, she may fall in love with the kids, and act faithfully and earnestly in the best interests. She may become on eof the best things to ever happen to them!
Please be very cautious in choosing a partner, as her ability (or lack thereof) to love and nurture your children will have far-reaching effects on them.
I'm sure the same can hold true for men dating women with children....

Answer 5

Mostly it comes down to the way the father is with the kids and how he includes the lady in this relationship.

Sometimes a guy can be mean about it with the kids are more important then the lady, which of course we know but it is the way he will go about doing it..

Sometims a guy can be like the new lady is an instand mom and that sometimes is not the way it should go. We want to love the kids but and maybe part of the family but not the moment we walk in the door.

women dating single dads full custody kids

Answer 7

Not woman but here it goes. Some women will be put off by it while others will find the fact that you are a single parent hot.

Side note now that you are dating again don't introduce everyone to your kids if you date one person for three to six months then but evryone you date a week or two will be traumtizing to them. You need to wait till there is a relationship to do this. This may upset the woman but you need to protect your kids

Answer 8

I dated a single dad one time. He had full custody but still allowed the mom days with their daughter. The kid was fine, but he had all kinds of drama with his ex. That is the part that no woman wants to deal with.

Answer 9

I can tell u from personal experience, that if a person really cares about you they will embrace your children...the fact that you have your kids should not be a deterrent to any woman on the contrary, it is truly commendable that you do have your kids (since most of the time women have full custody) it certainly says quite a bit about who you are as a person; responsible, caring, loving human being...way to go Dad!

the only advise I can give you is to not forget to create that balance in your life...you can be a super Dad and still find time to do things for yourself even if it involves having a healthy relationship with someone...any person that is deemed worthwhile will have the patience and understanding to give you support in both of those roles...Remember your kids are counting on you, never lose faith and above all be positive so you can continue to be a good role model in their life!...

Best of luck to you!

Answer 10

My future husband was single dad with full custody. One of the things that he liked about me was how I interacted with our son. I also think that it helps that we were both single parents. I think that some women would have trouble dealing while others would embrace the children. I probably wouldn't have met our son when we started dating if I hadn't already known him from prior interactions. I also think the key is to how one goes about introducing someone new to the family. Good luck.
