Posted: 10/30/2009 12:57:51 AM | i don't want more children. i will be considering respite care for foster youth as that certainly saved my life as an adoptive mom. fost/adopting three teens at 50 was enough! however i "might" consider and actually have considered men "with" children. by that i mean children in the home. it would really depend on the dad, the kids and the situation, as well as the living space and flexiblity.
since so many are coming back in their 20's with the economy, it may not be safe either way. not to mention all the grandparents who are raising grandchildren. just ask, everyone is different. as for you, put down the truth. if necessary explain it "briefly" in your profile.
good luck with figuring out the rest of it, if this has you so confused!!! | |

Posted: 10/30/2009 4:04:50 AM | | I think this whole discussion is putting the cart way before the horse. Most people will have a slightly different interpretation of "want kids." Obviously, if you click with someone, this is a conversation you might want to have early on in a relationship. However, from most of the posts in the forums, we should all be so lucky to date someone long enough to even have the conversation! | |

All of that will take a while, and if you have not figured out that the future is always unknown by now, you need to wake up. | |

Sorry me leona, I'm being idiotic. It's from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...
Now, now, FFS, if you're going to give out the right answer, you need to follow that with the best advice:

Posted: 10/30/2009 12:27:21 PM | Here's how it works:
1. See a profile that looks interesting.
2. Wonder what she means by saying "X."
3. Ask her.
Yup. Pretty simple.
In my case, it means I'm done with young children. My kids are grown and gone, it's time for MY fun. I wouldn't mind someone with older teens, maybe, but younger ones, probably not. | |

Posted: 10/30/2009 7:44:06 PM | | I think the best think in the long run is to ask. Someone who has stated that they have chldren over 18/not at home and also state that they do not want children are also likely to be grandparents at sometime. If something were to happen to my son and I had to raise my grandchildren then I would be back in the boat of having children. Everyone had their own interpretation of what they "really" mean and what they are willing to accept or tolerate. We never know what the future holds for us. | |
