Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids

I have 4 children...

Would you date a man with kids?

I am still a great person, fun to be with and I am obviously responsible... I can still be a great friend to someone... I love kids too.

If a man dates you with children, then he is worth being with...because he will either accept your package, or not. If not, maybe you have meet a friend.

I would date a man with kids, my biggest fear would be the X wife....

I am single again...with three kids....I have a totally different perspective on relationships since my marriage to the &^#$^&^#...and that is being kind...My husband couldnt stand my children, was verbally abusive to them. Even so much as told them he hated them. I have been a step parent before,...I could never imagine treating children or hating them like that.

I have not dated anyone yet however when I do I will keep my dating life completely separate from my children. They do not need to be involved or introduced to anyone unless it is at least a yr or even 2 of dating. I am not looking for a father for my children. They have one. Trying to force the "family idea" upon someone who couldnt handle it was where I went wrong. Relationships with children can be challenging but I know of people who have been blessed with someone loving and accepting their children so it is possible.

i am here to tell you it will be kind of tough at times i have been raising 3 boys for 8 years now,and most ladies my age there kids are grown or about to leave the house so when they see how young mine are it bothers them and i dont blame them i have even had them reffered to as extra baggage,but you know what the hell with them and you need to be the same way you dont need to get involved with them anyway, you will meet someone who will love you and those kids and if someone is scared by them then you dont need them your just weeding out the garbage till a true person steps up so dont let it bother you plus you are a very attractive lady you wont have a problem finding someone.

Heres how i see it......the kids are part of you...in order to have you, gotta accept the kids. I love kids, im a dad myself. And since i became a dad, i have noticed myself looking more towards women with kids. I want a family, real bad. Weather it be just my daughter, and my womans kids....or kids of our own. But inorder to accept a woman with kids, you need to be able to accept the kids first i think. If im gonna be able to love a woman, ill love her kids too and do my best to be a very good rolemodel for them.

As a single father 24-7 365 i myself would have no problem with it,i would hope that out there some where i can find a single mom willing to date a single father as we would both be able to understand that raising children is a hard job but a job i love.

In my humble opinion..Dating a woman with children is a bonus as she is more mature in most cases, more responsible and has love for her children which means she can open her heart to love. I am new to this site and province, and hopefully one day will meet a woman ( all quantities of Children accepted.lol )

Yo SoulMinstrel, I agree. Most women with kids are on another level than those without kids - not knocking you women who don't have any. What I've found is that a woman with kids life revolves around them. She's not likely to want to party nearly as much, if any - not saying there's anything wrong with that. She's just more focused on life and goals to make a better way for her youngstas.

I don't see why not, I have one son of my own. I would date someone with 3 kids. If you are attracted to someone and get along I don;t see hwat the issue would be. I'm sure it would be tough at the start but if 2 people wnat to make thing work then it will.

I think the problem is... somewhere on one of these forums a guy stated kids were baggage and that he would never date a woman with kids. That brings a new scope as to what someone will and won't tolerate. Just like an earlier post here - kids are a blessing, no matter the quantity. They didn't ask to be here. You didn't ask to be here but we're all here to serve our purpose on this earth. So what, if she has 3 kids or 5+... it's about how mature the man is and his responsbility level as a man to take care of someone else's kids. I think some men look at a woman who has more than one kid to be an easy target for sex and thereby have no intentions of making that their lifelong partner. I'm not by all means blaming you women but be careful at whom you let into your heart. If there's problems in the beginning, you'll likely have the same and worst in the end. Just MHO.

The answer to your question would be yes. I would and I have in the past. The only thing is if you do find someone just make sure he feels loved also.

Why wouldnt a man date a woman with three kids?, how can you refer to your kids as baggage? now that is harsh! you are talking about your childeren!. I once had some one reffer to my kids as baggage and was very insulted. The answer is yes a man would date a woman with three kids. But on the outher hand i find it very difficult to find a woman that will date a man with three kids, after all why should shee deal with three kids when there are so many men out there that take no resonsibility for there childeren, and spend very little time with them!.So it is easy to find a guy that has no kids, or makes the choice not to have any.

It is very much age related. If a man will date a middle aged woman in her thirties and above, he will probably date her whether or not she has children. However, if she has three kids, even a very pretty young mom of 19 or 20 is going to find that very few smart, good looking, athletic, and popular, 22 year old college graduates are interested in her because they are going to choose girls without kids. She can date guys 5 to 10 years older that good looking young single girls usually pass on. In effect, her choices are still good, just limited.

I was married to a man that hellped me raise my 4 children. He didn't have children of his own but we had a daughter together. We have been divorced for over a year now. My oldest son was 7 years old when we married, now he has had us a grandson, two months old. My ex. is not my sons real father, but you would not know the difference. He has claimed his title as grandpa as well. Sadly he felt that we were growing apart, but he has not abanded his children. He gained a family that will love and cherrish him forever that he didn't have before.
Nice to know that there are other guys out there that do the same.

to much bagagge and the emotional stress that comes with it,i say to each their own i was having it a go with an ex who had one child and that was a problem because "i" wasn't the father?chalk it up to life's harsher lessons.i think i did an admirable job in handling the relationship and it could be something that will come in handy down the road when i perhaps will have a child with someone...

I'm actually surprised at some of these replies

If you are dating a woman over 30 chances are she has children.
If you are dating a guy over 30 chances are he has children as well

Single parents should be admired and respected, they are the ones who stuck to thier obligations and doing right by thier choices in life. Not to date a person because they are a single parent is beyond ridiculous! For they are the ones who can be trusted and take life's responsibilites seriously.

To judge a person solely because they are a single parent is well.... pathetic!

Christianmom, yeah a man would seriously date a lady with three kids. Many a man would. I know cause my mom had no problem with dates when we were younger. Just make sure you dont get desperate and take the first guy who comes along cause OMG he will date you and you have three kids.

I would not. To judge a person solely because of their being a single parent IS pathetic. However, judging based on the amount of children shouldn't be. I have a 10 yr old daugther, whom I have raised since birth..and would like more...but from someone who has 1 or less. Why? Not because I don't love children. Not because they are too much responsibility..but because I would like to start a family someday with that family being primarily of my own blood. ~

Am I a selfish **stard OP? Children are not baggage!!! Time and time again it sickens me that people refer to children as such. Yet, most men do refer to them as baggage...and in your case you do as well.

What nonsense. For most people all it takes to become a parent is to have sex. A person does not grow extra brain cells by becoming a parent so it does not give anyone wisdom. Becoming a parent does not change a bad person in a good person, nor does it change an irresponsible person into a responsible person.

I will date a single mom if she is smarter, better looking, more responsible, and willing to work harder at the relationship than a single gal. However, if all other factors are equal it is not ridiculous not to date a single mom. In fact, it is being foolish because you are taking on problems that single girls don't have. Of course if a single mom is extra special she is worth dating. That is because she has enough going for her to offset her baggage and the extra problems that single gals don't have.

Dating involves making choices and evaluating both the good and the bad. You choose to date someone based on the overall package and you try to pick the best package available to you. You don't choose someone based on just age, weight, looks, money, or whether the person is a parent.

good luck finding a man with no children~ If you can find one that has 1..nice. Two or more, you definately have a better chance. There are always the desperate single men w/no children that could find an interest...but it's not likely to work out is it?
