Do all men think a woman with a kid wants you to be the new daddy?
Posted: 4/15/2008 2:21:25 AM
From my experiece i have found that women are not looking for a father for thier children, however if you get into a LTR with single mother you do become a big part of her childs life. I dated a single mother who did not let me meet her children until we had been dating for about 2 months, thier father was still very involved with thier ife ad was an amazing person and excellent father. After dating her for long time i had definaty assumed a father like role in thier life and her children had become a part of my life that i will never forget and makes me look very forward to having chldren of my own.

Yes. Unless your kids are over eighteen and out the house. You might not be looking for a new "daddy" for your kids conciously, but put yourself in the man's shoes and you will understand this view: should the dating become a relationship(perhaps even lead to marriage) then the children will be a big part of it.

no i dont think women are looking for a new daddy for the kids, as a single parent im certainly not looking for a new mum for mine,

but you do have to accept the fact that if you have a new partner with children, they will be a large part of your new relationship and an element of parenting will come into it, i believe in respect, i would expect my children to respect a new partner and vica versa, if my son was acting inappropriate or doing something clearly wrong i wouldnt expect my new partner to say nothing and just ignore it, otherwise children being what they are he would learn to take advantage of being able to do waht he liked and get away with it whilst i wasnt around.

its all about getting a balence right

this is coming from someone who doesn't have kids or ever want kids but i know enough ppl who are parents to understand..
when it comes to long term well you need to get along with her and her child/children or else it could turn out bad...
though often enough as the threads prove a mother usually waits for the one there dating to meet there kid/kids...once the mother knows the guy is right for her then he probably will meet the little one/ones...from what i have read on here and with single parents that are friends of mine..
if your meeting women who expect you to be a new daddy to the child then maybe there kid/kids don't have there bio father around or she just expects a lot from a guy

I don't expect anyone i date seriously to become my daughters dad, she has a dad. What I do expect is for them to befriends and respect eachother for we will all have one thing in common that we love the same person. The movie Stepmother comes to me alot lately and it's a girl's movie but men take a look it's an eye opener to, my ex has a girlfriend and my daughter comes home after staying at her dads and talks about what she did with daddy's girlfriend and I know she's not trying to be my daughters mom but her friend, and I'm glad that my daughter trusts and loves her because it would be way more difficult and harder if they hated eachother and were jealous trying to fight for that attention....................

Not in my experience, the thing they usually says is the last thing the kid needs is another dad. This is because a mother is never gonna have another man tell her kids off !

Take my advice and experience and keep well away from single mothers, they are nothing but expensive trouble !

I am one of those men. You would be surprised at how many actually are looking for a new daddy.

There is just too much drama in that situation. Honestly I do not want any part of it. I am not ready to be a dad right of the bat. If the child was older I may change my mind.

Sadly, I have found that the majority of women that use online dating sites that have children (let me rephrase that....I have male friends on online dating sites...who are contacted by women, and about 60% of them are thus) use the online dating sites to "shop" for a new "man" (husband/father) for her child. I don't just mean "He might make a good dad," but the thought of "he will make a good dad."

I am just using the information that they have passed along. Every woman is different whether she has children or not, I think we all know this. I have friends that are single parents that don't even let who they're dating meet their child until several months down the road though they tell them up front that they have a child.
