| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 7/29/2005 1:09:32 AM | | I married a lady that had 3 wonderful children. Children are not "baggage" . If anything, some women tend to use children as a way to get a guy. (such as my ex) ... I think women with children are a better catch than most single women as children show that there is a very good chance that you may be a responsible person. Aside from that, children are easier to talk to than some adults...lol...And have you ever listened to a young childs logic on things...priceless...If only the world was as easy to understand as it is seen through a child's eyes... | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 7/29/2005 8:12:14 AM | | My side of view;I am a single parent of 4 (15-5years old)...All of my children plays travel ball!!! My thing is; your children are going to love you for life..A man, may just take you as a wife..Yes,there are some good men out there but in this world who would you trust with your child!!Just know when you aren't looking...He will be and it could be the soul-mate you've been looking for...Just remember until they are 18,they are yours and now, in the return they will be there, when you are old...CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS FIRST,THEN MAN.. | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 7/30/2005 12:21:33 AM | | You have to have the right man. My kids, their kids, will come before the adults. Once in a while some adult time is needed, but soon enough the kids (in most cases...) will be out and gone and it will be better to have not missed the time with them. | |

| heres a mans point of view Posted: 7/30/2005 3:57:10 AM | | i would love a man with kids it shows that they are not scard to get into something with mothers with kids | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 7/30/2005 8:33:40 AM | I have 3 wonderful boys and have no problem finding guys to date. I am upfront about my boys right away in case they aren't interested in dating someone with kids.
To be honest, I was a divorced/single mom at about age 22 with 1 boy and had a harder time back then than I do now being (divorced again) 31 with 3 boys. Guys in their 20s may have some problems with it, but the older ones usually know it is likely women my age have kids. There are even some in their 20s who don't mind. I dated someone who was younger than me (in his 20s) who didn't mind me having 3 boys.
My outlook is that there is someone out there for EVERYONE. It doesn't matter what you look like, act like or what your situation is, there is someone out there. Just don't stop until you get what you are looking for too. Don't settle! | |

| heres a mans point of view Posted: 7/30/2005 9:24:38 AM | I would not get involved with a man who has children who are misbehaved, problematic and just plain messed up. It's not that I dont have compassion on them, it's just that I can't take on more than I already have to deal with and I won't add to my burden. If he is not a good parent, I'm not going to "fix" it for him or take on the responsibility for another person's children.
I take care of my own...I expect him to do the same with his. | |

| heres a mans point of view Posted: 7/30/2005 11:05:07 AM | Sure, why not. A man who puts a limit on number of kids is ridiculous. I think it should depend on the circumstance.
If a woman had 6 kids by 6 fathers- I would be worried (if I were a man pursuing her)
However, if a woman had 6 kids, had married at 18 and divorced at 45 and was now dating-- I would see nothing wrong with that. | |
|
| heres a mans point of view Posted: 7/30/2005 11:23:54 AM | | if the woman has a sweet heart and is a all around positive person and great parent then it wouldnt even phase me how many kids she has. but if shes a bad parent there isnt a shot in hell id go near her. dont matter how hot a girl is, its on the inside that counts | |

| Unbiased opinion Posted: 7/30/2005 11:48:37 AM | Whether a woman has children or not, is not an issue. Whether she will let you into both hers and the childrens life is. There are a proportion of men, who have issues with having sole attention, quite often because they have self esteem issues. However, many men love children and providing there are no barriers, are happy to accept both partner and children. Everyone has a choice of what suits them, so just accept that we are all different. Some people cannot accept multi-racial relationships, some cannot accept people that are not wealthy, or not a big enough car, or even a big enough?????????????..................... ......... (bank account) I'm sure that if you are ready to accept a man in all of your lives, there is a man willing to accept all of you.
Personally, i think ready-made families are great. Love is unconditional, don't you agree?? Be patient, one day your Prince will come.... | |

| Unbiased opinion Posted: 7/30/2005 12:55:49 PM | I think there seems to be a theme developing here where people are making it seem like men who are willing to accept women with kids are somehow "better" people. Personally, I would not get involved with a woman who has kids. I don't think there is anything wrong with it either. I am just not ready for that kind of responsibility. Kids are expensive and I am a recent university graduate; therefore, I would prefer to wait until I have had the chance to establish a strong financial base before I start a family.
Although there are men who are ready and willing to accept a woman with kids, I believe most are not. Whether they would prefer a child-free life, feel that they aren't currently prepared for children, or are only interested in raising their own kids, it is a choice they are completely entitled to make. Everyone should be free to live their life for themselves without judgement. | |

| Unbiased opinion Posted: 7/30/2005 6:17:20 PM | single man or women in either respect would prefer to start their OWN family. just happens that not all relationships work out and things change. it dont bother me at all dating girls with kids just because i have a understanding of parenting and what is involved and the time needed to take care of a child. single men with no children however dont understand as with women just becuase they dont have children. they may think they do but u really trully dont till u are living it. it isnt bad to wanna date someone without children. its just life that someone would rather start fresh then jump into something already made, its just a matter of who is accepting and understanding to it. no biggie | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 8/3/2005 11:19:42 AM | | yes a man would date a women with three kids because i am a single mom of four kids and my last bf of 2 and half years was a single man in the military he had no kids of his own and knew i had the baggage of 4 children and ex's and he still got involved with me and kids and we are still friends after splitting up. he still drops by when he is home and works on a castle he is building with one of my kids and does projects with the others even though they are not his kids his attitude is that even though we split up he would always be there for them so yes there are nice guys out there that don't care how many kids you have or what kinda garbage you have been through, because some people actually do judge a person on the moment they meet them and on there person exsperiences and not on all the other junk in the past.there are people out there that understand that everyone has a little baggage and a little scar tissue from bad exsperiences but also understand that alot of that builds personal strength and personal growth and are attracted to that strenth and courage that some people have as a result of things they have been through. not all guys are jerks there are some nice ones out there just have to be patient and picky | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 11/11/2005 4:20:51 PM | | I think its this simple. If a man or woman won't date you because you have kids, then are they really the type of person you want to date anyway? I'd rather find someone who shares my goals and dreams than waste time with someone who isn't family friendly. To me its obvious. Everyone has preferences, and the best way to handle it is not to take it personally. Kids are just one of the MANY things to consider when you start a relationship. | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 11/11/2005 4:53:21 PM | | Don't feel terrified there are lots of guys who would definitely not view them as baggage. Most guys over the age of 30 understand that most women have kids in their age group. There are not many women who do not and the ratio of guys that are looking for women in their 30's who do not have kids is something like 4 guys for every 1 women without kids. The odds suggest that you have nothing to worry about. | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 11/13/2005 8:19:58 AM | | I am a single mom with three kids. I have been divorced for 6 years. I believe that you have to be happy with your situation and yourself before you can start to date. I have had some wonderful men that I have dated. But if you are not happy with yourself you cannot be happy with someone else. There are plenty of great men out there. You should not have a problem finding someone who will enjoy the company of you and your kids. So don't worry it will all work out in time and you will find the love of your life!! | |

| Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids Posted: 11/13/2005 9:00:13 AM | To the OP... I can go you one better, I'm 43 divorced with three kids, one is disabled, one who has a learning disability and one that's gifted. My life is rather chaotic at times..
Now who in their right mind would take that baggage on?
I've decided to become the crazy dog and cat lady in my later years.
Either that or start hiring myself out to all the 22 year old guys that wanna have sex and put the money into an RRSP.. LOL | |
