How about dating men with children?

[Toffee]

I noticed a lot of women have this problem.. they won't date men with children.. yet some who say this have children.

[Reesecup1]

I used to not want to date men with children, that was until I became a parent myself.

I'm a parent and I don't like to date a man with kids.


The reason has nothing to do with me being a parent myself. I don't condemn him for procreating. The reason is that it's hard to establish a relationship with someone who has ties to someone else ( in the form of children). That also makes it easier for me to understand a single man with no kids not wanting to date a woman with kids. A child is an everlasting bond.

It's also hard as a parent of one child who wants more because if a man already has several kids, he's pretty much finished. It's a waste of my time to become involved with him.

My current has 1 child. That's where I draw the line.

I don't have a problem with dating a man with a child long as he is taking care of of the child and no baby momma drama.......



I have been told I am a fool for doing so.....

[Bedroomeyes]

I've never had a problem with dating men with children.. As long as they don't have the baby momma drama... I would rather date a man with a child because they understand and seem to be more patient when it comes to my children and my responsibilities..

I have a child and I have managed to separate my time with my child with time for a date. I get him evey other weekend and his mother doesn't give me any drama about me dating. I waited about two years after we broke up to allow her to get me out of her system to start dating. We have been apart for 7 years and we are friends. I keep my dating life separate from my childs life. If I feel that the relationship has long term prospects I will introduce him to my lady. Other than that.. they don't get to meet him. I got a lot of flack for that but hey, My child doesn't need to see me with various women. He is 8 and only seen two women since we broke up in 1995. One was a Fiance the other is a very good friend. So I would suggest that date a man with children only if you can accept that you aren't the main focus. Yeah you have to share your time and until you get a ring on your finger don't worry about meeting the child or worry about baby mama drama. Patients is definately a good quality and make sure he pays his child support and is active in his childs life. You don't want to become a baby's mama

I do not like to get involved with a man with a chlid younger than the gae of 3. The reason being that the first three years is when most of the Baby Momma Drama gets started. During that time, in my opinion, both of them are trying figure out if they want to be a family or exactly how they are going to handle the situation. But after that time period things are usually cool.

i love men with kids.............as long as they aren't married (lol) and they can AFFORD to take care of them kids........and i ain't gots to have no mo...........

but i do enjoy a man without kids (and never married) cause they are more free to do thangs with cha!

[seductive_tee]

I don't mind as long as he takes care of his....now how do you know that from the beginning...you don't really.....

On the other hand a man with a child under 1, is kinda hard...

[Brightness]

I agree and I tend to prefer dating men in the following order:

1. No children.

2. One child but in a different state so that the mother trippin' if we're out together won't be an issue.

3. A man with older children from one relationship (if possible).

Also, agree with someone who said the under age of 3. I dated someone and got chased by a deranged mother while we were on his motorcycle. . .she tried to kill us. ..that's when I was like I can't swing this type of thing. . .my age limit is around 8-10 yrs old and it can still be some animosity at the stage, too.

The older I get I know it's less likely that I'll meet someone without children, although it has happened on occasion. So......I really don't have a problem with dating someone with children, just as long as he takes care of his responsibilities and keeps whatever "baby momma drama" he might have away from me and mine.

I have several answers:

I will date a man with one child..but a man that has more than one child by several different women...no i wont date him.
I will date a man who has more than one child only if they are older and he was married to thier mother.

[Vronni]

I would date a man with children but preferably not small children(under the age of 3) . In my experience there was always still something going on when the child was that young (under 3)
