Please, no answers from those over 30. I'm trying to ask us young people here.
Would you date a single parent who has kids via a previous relationship or marriage?
What if they did live with him/her?
What if they didn't live in the house - were in custody of the other parent or someone else?
Personally, I *never* would - In my opinion, that kid is some other guy's problem, and no matter what the circumstances, it's unnecessary drama.
What about everyone else?

No, I wouldn't date a guy who had kids. I'm 19 and to be honest I still want to have fun with a guy and not have to worry about what his kids are doing or whatever. That may sound harsh, but it is the truth.

For me personally right now I wouldn't. I'm not ready to have my own kids or anybody else's. In time, next year, 5 years from now I could be up for anything. I like kids, but right now I'm too much of a kid myself.
For you with a statement like "that kid is some other guy's PROBLEM" and "UNNECESSARY DRAMA", regardless of the situation you sound like you have the ear markings of an unfit or delinquent parent. Probably best for you to stay away from single moms and any women who wants to have kids in the future.

I think personally that it would depend on how much i like the guy and how many kids there are. If there are more than 2 kids i wouldn't only if they lived with him. I think that having that many kids and being a single parent would be too hard and the guy wouldn't be able to pay attention to me. Other then that kids are fine. We all know that who we are dating has probabaly has had previous realtionships.

Personally I have never dated anyone that had kids. I would but I don't think it would last very long considering that I am person who likes to be care free and wild sometimes and children would put a constraint on that. Im not saying that I hat children but I am 21 young and I still have a lot of life to live before I want children!

My fiance has two kids from a previous marriage. They live with their mother and he drives 6 hours to visit them every other weekend. It is a serious commitment but one that you have to decide if you are ready to make before you get into the relationship. I decided part of what I love about him is that he's a great dad and I decided to accept everything that went with that (including his crazy ex). It's a personal decision I think. I'm 28.

Personally I prefer not to date a guy with kid/s. I would under special circumstances and they can only have one. I would if I developed a strong and special friendship and we just decide to develop that frienship into a relationship.

it isn't about whether she has a child or not but how well we get along together and whether or not we're compatible that is what's really important..... and as for the child being some other guy's problem, with an attitude like that you just limited your choices of available women to date, didn't you? how many women these days, single or otherwise, dont have at least one kid? you certainly didn't have to tell us you were young by your insensitive and childish attitude towards the subject....you sound like someone who is very selfish, self absorbed and thinks everything is all about you....it isn't, and you're going to find that out the more lonely nights you have to spend by yourself

No, I would not date a woman with kids at my age. I'm 23, so its not an option for me. I would not mind being friends with them though, and helping them find someone who doesn't mind kids.
Its nothing agaisnt them, its just not what I want right now. Someone tried to make me feel bad about it, but I don't.

While your reason is a little crass, I agree, in a way. I don't want children of my own, let alone someone else's, so no, I wouldn't date a man with kids.
