No I wouldn't feel comfortable with it - when a child is involved it's one of those things you have to introduce gradually not wham bam! It's really up to you, but me personally not that fast...
Babies have awareness like we don't have and if you don't like the baby then the babies father might not want to go out with you. I think u should be OK with it because in a way he may be testing you.
Never introduce your child to someone who’s highly likely a one-night stand. 2-3 months in.. when you have both decided it’s permanent. Don’t traumatize the kids
Just because you’re a father of 3 doesn’t mean you can call out other fathers for parenting differently. I find you close minded. Especially calling me a one night stand. And the kid has no idea who I am. How is that traumatizing? He meets adults all the time. I’m just another random adult to him.
I see your concern and I do agree with what you said but I think my situation and him are different. My coworker is dating his nephew who lives with him. He knows everything about his dating life and him, and his filled my coworker in. He hasn’t dated anyone and actually told his nephew he wasn’t looking so he could focus on his kid. But then he met me and we just really are into each other. And he trusts my coworkers judgement on me, and I guess he made judgement that I’m safe to go out to lunch with his kid and him.

No stay with the day, it means that he is serious about you two. No parent would bring their child unless it was serious for them
It could be confusing for the child, reason enough to decline.
Agreed
How can it be confusing for the child when the child is 2?
Young children are more perceptive than you realize.
Babies have awareness like we don't have and if you don't like the baby then the babies father might not want to go out with you. I think u should be OK with it because in a way he may be testing you.
It shouldn't be a problem for both of you but it might be confusing for his kid.
Yes. I am a single dad and do not introduce my daughter to women I date until we have developed a strong relationship.
I personally think it's a bad idea to bring a kid along but at least you know they have a kid PRIOR to going on a first date.
Thats not only terrible dating etiquette its terrible parenting!
Cjange days you should not meet the kid tell i r serious about ur relationship
He can't find a sitter for a couple of hours?
That’s a bad, bad, bad, BAD idea!!
Why?
Never introduce your child to someone who’s highly likely a one-night stand. 2-3 months in.. when you have both decided it’s permanent. Don’t traumatize the kids
Excuse me? I am mostly certainly not a one night stand. And our date is at 11am. Gtf outta here
First date? Bringing the kid?
Bad Father.. VERY bad Father
I don’t think you know him at all, or our situation to make that accusation
Excuse me? I’m a single Father of 3.
And if this is your FIRST date, he’s s fucking idiot.
You asked the question- but it wasn’t the answer you wanted
AND it was fair accompli (done deal)
* fait accompli
Just because you’re a father of 3 doesn’t mean you can call out other fathers for parenting differently. I find you close minded. Especially calling me a one night stand. And the kid has no idea who I am. How is that traumatizing? He meets adults all the time. I’m just another random adult to him.
Look, at the end of the day, it’s your life... but you asked the question- I answered it.
Children are not trophies to be dragged around and shown off. How do you know you aren’t the only one he’s done this too?
You will do what you want anyway, but put the child’s needs above yours.. that’s all Im saying..
I see your concern and I do agree with what you said but I think my situation and him are different. My coworker is dating his nephew who lives with him.

Its definitely a bad idea
My opinion
no bring them with you
It matters. He shouldn't do that
Seems to soon to have kid tag along on a first day
Nah its ok
That definitely odd the kid to attract women huh.
