I don’t think you should be dating if you have kids!!! Also, that a big fail. That’s why women avoid talking about their kids. Honestly I am not attached to an ex of any kinda. Lol
Single parents shouldn't be allowed to date?
@coachTanthony no but what does my opinion matter anyway. I am just saying thsoe who are single parents won't have the first pick of someone who never had kids before. So by hiding your kids to take like this mytake says your bascially admiting your kids are a problem when it comes to dating.
Which is absolutely right! No one wants to be a step-parent and if you are I am sorry for you. Some ex wife are bitch or try to put you out of jealously... or even ex girlfriend... Its a whole drama you probably don't want. Its not ideal. If you have a kid out of a marriage its your fault and being divorcee is something that should be shame... It everyone responsiblity to pick the right wife/husband for their future kids. I will never bend this rule EVER.
You can not guarantee you will know hiw someone is 5 years, 10 years, 15 years down the road. You say people with kids should not date means they should just remain single, divorced, a widow or widower for the rest of their lif because regarless of age they will always have kids even when the kids are adults.
@MysteriousDarkness I wouldn't engage with this level of idiocy. It might be contagious.
Why wouldn't your opinion matter? We all have them.
There's a big difference between 'shouldn't be dating with kids' which is ridiculous, and 'most people without kids may not want a relationship with kids' which is completely reasonable.
Kids are a huge deal, and people with options rarely want to jump into being step parents. However single parents are often keen to date other single parents.
There’s nothing wrong with single parents wanting to date.
Than why @Allie_Oops did you write a mytake saying you would hide your children from your potential date? I am just saying idealistic even you are aware of the big mistake...
I quote, "Most people are not going to enter a relationship knowing they will forever be in second place." WHY IS THAT, Susan? Because its true. A man doesn't want have to raise someone else kids esp if they are young. If you do date I hope you don't get the kids involved and keep that part of you secret. I think there is enough case where step-parents abuse or prey on or get walk over by the kids. If I were a single mom I would only date in secret or wait until my kids were adults. I wouldn't want them to be confused or hurt by having someone else replace their actual parent. Parents want the best for their kids. And maybe I can see it as a possiblity if you guys are serious and its stable and they are going to live with you 24/7 than okay but I am reserved. Like I said my personal judgement doesn't matter in that grand sceme of things because single parents do what they will. The only control I have is within me. I raise my voice with my actions. so there.
I am a walking disaproval of the whole thing.
No that’s not why.
It’s because you don’t want to jump life stages you’re not ready for.
If my marriage ended would I date? Yes. And I’d likely prefer someone with kids. And I’d be delighted to help raise them. I love kids. And I’d rather help raise more kids then start from the beginning again. I have some amazing memories of my kids as infants and I’m so glad I experienced it but I don’t want to live that stage again. It’s not that kids are bad or that I don’t want other people’s. It’s that I don’t want to warp life stages in my own life.
I literally didn’t say that lol. You must not have read the Take.
@Allie_Oops Clearly never going to answer my question so I just assume you never read my answer. Dear god hold me back from being rude.
@Allie_Oops Also YES YOU DID. I JUST COPY AND PASTE FROM YOUR MYTAKE. How are u so clueless?
@0112358 I am not saying you hate kids or you can't love them but its not ideal... Esp if you never had kids of your own. You guys are pretty delusional but what do I care its not my life. I much rather date a man without any of that. The top best don't want raise other people kids. Point blank period. I sure don't want be a step-mom its unfournate..
It -is- ideal if you already have kids. Thats' the point you're missing.
And i'd absolutely recommend people without kids -not- do it.
@0112358 oh that right (: I am sorry I was caught up in myself lol (: I guess your right if I am married n WANT To but I am would still won't want to introduce a new person in the child life... until he was old enough just in case the person is crazy
Yeah definitely!
Your copy and paste doesn't say anywhere that I don't think people with children shouldn't date. What I said was that people with kids don't need to put it all over their profile that their kid comes first nor do they need to say it multiple times. No one should ever have their child in first place because the relationship will fail. That's true even if you're with the biological parent of your own child. My parents have been married for 34 years, and they did not always put my siblings and myself first. They put each other first.
I'm not clueless. You just can't read.
@Allie_Oops look that your opinion but this is mines. I just want add my two cents even if its not a popular choice. Children are the most important thing in the world to a family. I don't know if you raised knowing that as a fact. When I thinking dating I think marriage. I think it quite important to yes have a husband but having another man that isn't the father is dangerous, unwanted, and un-safe. I believe when you have kids it best to be the best fitted person and parent. Although I understand you want romanctic love and etc... I believe it a bit irresponssible and dangerous having some other person become an addition to the child life. It might work in some case but PERSONALLy I disapprove of it. I wouldn't want take any risk or would wait until the child was a young adult. I know a couple who were single parents and started to live together and etc.. But I would always be cautious ya know. I am looking out for the kid in theory.
No no no no no. This isn't about a difference of opinions. You misquoted me and then tried to put words in my mouth, which is what you're not going to do. Don't do it again.
I disagree. I am trying to show you why its wrong to date as a single parents. The point you have to lie or make your child second best show how wrong you are. You subconscious wrote this sentence without thinking how messed up it is.
You literally didn’t read this. I specifically said there needs to be compromise and a child cannot always come first if you want a successful relationship. No one is ever number one when it comes to a relationship. That’s common sense.
Okay.
