Would you date or marry someone with kids?

I believe so.

 

when i worked for the special needs nurses for nhs in bedford, there was a village round there that we were in constant contact with because of the inbreeding...it was the first contact i'd ever had with people of that mindset.

 

And caused a lot of health problems in the Royal English family. Once it gets to be several generations, especially of full-blooded siblings marrying, then you really see the results.

 

It depends more on the level of order that already exist in the home when I get there. I dated a woman who had two children once and it was one of the best experiences in my life. But, she had her family in control. Flip side, I dated a woman who had a 10 year old son who had rarely slept in his own bed. He was emotionally underdevolped and disrespectful to other adult(not me). It was very hard and we went our seperate ways! So I guess my answer is that I dont have a problem with kids(i Love'em), just chaos!

 

1 of the 3 guys I got serious with did have 2 kids actually.It wasn't a big deal for me because he wasn't 1 of those guys having 5 kids with 5 different women or a dead beat dad.

I only have an issue with a potential mate having kids if there's a handful of baby mothers and/or he either denies his kids,trashtalks their mother on a constant basis or simply refuses to play any role in his child's/children's lives

 

Don't do it!!!

 

Never

 

Yes, as I have grown kids and a grandkid. Would not date someone with young kids.

 

My ideal mate is a single dad with kids. I love kids and it seems to me that men with kids are sometimes a little less selfish. To each their own but kids to me are an asset not a negative. The only concern is falling in love with the kids instead of the man. So I would want to wait to meet them to see if we had something serious.

 

I don't see it that way at all. Dad's are people too and deserve love besides love from their children.

 

Yes I would if that option was available to me. If you are in love with a person who happen to have children, what greater appreciation that person would have for you in accepting his or her children.

 

I would absolutely date a guy with kids. I was a great mom (if I may say so myself) and I would welcome the chance to be a stepmother. I know it's not always a cakewalk (the stepfamily thing), but if I love the man, I will love his children - they're a part of him.

 

It is completely okay to say, you don't want to date women with kids, its an opinion and an opinion cannot be wrong..

 

Those statistics are flawed big time, but the message is often pushed in the south. Women have no worries about being able to have kids until they are 35. At thirty five they MAY be at a higher risk for some diseases but this is also in part genetic. In addition, there are now so many additional fertility treatments that there are many women having children in their forties. Thirty messed with me, but after doing research I am seriously more chill, I have time to have kids..plenty luckily.

 

Thank you, Mel!

as to the question, I think it depends on the level of your relationship. If you are just kickin' back with someone, there is usually no need to involve the children, assuming they are still young (if they are grown, they should have a life of their own). It also depends on the length of time that the parents have been apart. If it has been relatively soon, and the breakup was bitter, then I think it is best to stay out of those situations.

 

I am someone with kids so yes.

 

If you date a woman over the age of 30, there's a good chance she has at least one kid.
Marry?? If you love her what choice do you have??:smt043

 

I usually would have said HELL NO because I liked the idea of having my first child with a man who was having the same experience... you know, sharing the experience of being a parent together.
Then I fell for a guy with 2 kids and when you actually love him/her it doesn't really matter. I met his boy a couple of times and I had fun, but I gotta say he was lovely. If he was one of those spoiled crying kids maybe I wouldn't have had too much fun lol.

 

I think I'm 33 years old now. The chances of me even finding someone in my age group who doesn't already have kids is slim to slim as fuck. I've never had an issue of dating someone with kids. The only concern I'd have is dating someone who already has kids and doesn't want any more.

 

I guess that is one reason why I have only dated women closer to my age (late 40's and 50's). Those women have already had their children, and don't want/can't have any more. Many younger women (in their 30's and earlier) still want children at some point, and having been snipped after my youngest son was born, that's not an option for me.
