Childless people would you date a single parent who doesn't want any more kids?

Question

I dont think I would since I want kids

Smoke-n-Growls · Accepted Answer

No.

They still have a child.

It would be extremely unfair of me and the parent to date me - a solidly childfree person - because it will be unfair and harmful to the child.

The child comes first. Before me, before the parent.

I'm not someone who wants kids in any capacity. I have a friendship with a single father (he's dating a friend of mine), but that's it. I'm the fun video game aunt.

It would be extremely cruel for me to date a single parent. Cruel to the child.

I'm not into that. That kid deserves someone who wants to be a parent as much as their bio parent does. They deserve that and I refuse to deny them that chance.

menina · Accepted Answer

I wouldn't. There would be too much drama and stress.

Kaneki05 · Accepted Answer

I don't want children so it could work. Depends how old their kid is I suppose and how much responsibility I would have with it. Because of course me not wanting children wouldn't want much responsibility upon it.
However because she don't want more, and the child may be looked after well by herself I wouldn't take a issue with helping out a bit. So if I really liked her probably would.
It's interesting because if you just said single parent I would of said probably nah more harshly, but the not anymore does make one think more to a maybe.
All subjective to her I think.

How selfish. Raise my kid that another man created with me. But we won't be doing any creating ourselves. Yeah no.

Iwant2kno · Answer

No, as selfish as it sounds I rather not have kids in my life. Before I use to think I should but now I’m clear that kids are a lot of responsibility and even if it was not my kid, I don’t think I would want to emotionally attach to him/her.

Seinna · Answer

I want my own children so I wouldn't be with someone who doesn't want that with me.

It's almost worse if they already have their own children and would deny me that, I don't think that person would honestly love me if they still insisted on being with me in those circumstances.

It's also unlikely, though not completely out of the question that I'd be with someone who already has children... unless he was that rich that he could support them AND still have a family with me. In any other case, no.

mstbooblover · Answer

Yes, because for me the most important thing is that a woman loves me, and that I love that woman. We would adapt to whatever happened next. It's also not as if our world needed humanity to grow still more... Nevertheless, although not a priority, I sincerely was not sure whether I'd want children or not. If any came to be, they would have been welcome.

My wife had a son from a previous marriage, and she didn't want children anymore. She wanted to dedicate the rest of her life as an artist-painter. That was fine with me.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I was sort of like this, sitting in the no more kids camp.

then I met this amazing girl and I changed my mind, she would make an amazing mum, and really should be given the chance.

even if a person has made a decision not to have kids, it’s not set in stone.

it’s a joint conversation and something both need to talk over.

wheresmrcunnunglis · Answer

Hmmm, honestly If you were to ask me back then I would say no but now I would be open to it. As long as the person did not bring the kid around or have a messy relationship with the other parent. Since if they did have a messy co-parenting situation then I would get dragged into sooner or later and Im dont have the brain cells for that.

shaysh87 · Answer

In my opinion, if you're under the age of 40, try to not date a single parent. Explore all your options on your own before you decide to settle for raising someone else's kid. If you're over 40 and still plan on continuing to date, it's inevitable that you will encounter a lot of single parents with kids.

weasley8 · Answer

No. I don’t have a problem with single parents, as long as they’re on good terms with the other parent, and I get along with the other parent. (Assuming the other parent is still in the picture. If the other parent abandoned them then that’s a different story. I just don’t want to cause additional conflict which might be bad for the kid).

I do want a big family though. So I wouldn’t be able to date anyone who didn’t want more kids.

Stoner710 · Answer

I’d like kids myself, I have no issue dating single moms the issue for me is she wouldn’t want anymore kids. I understand the giving birth but at least consider adoption. The no more kids is a deal breaker for me, that fact she has kids isn’t a deal breaker

Browneye57 · Answer

You already have kids? If so, then your job in life is to RAISE them. You owe them at least that.
Perhaps when they're grown and gone you can dip your toe in the dating pool again.

And no guy worth his salt wants to raise someone else's crotch-fruit.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

No, I don't want a parental role to human children, mine or otherwise, and even more so, I don't want my SO's ex boyfriend/husband around at all, even if to just see his kids.

Either of those are dealbreakers, and I refuse to even have vaginal sex unless either me or her is sterile, be it naturally, or surgically.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on the girl,

but if i really like her, I. could,

I dont have kids. But i want kids,

It wouldn’t be somthing im dead set against if she already had kids,
im sure id learn to love them like my own.

if their dad is out of the picture completely and its just me, her and the kids, even better.

not the way i would plan my life, but somtimes thats just how things work out.
Find happyness where you can

Thatbaldguy · Answer

No. Personally I don’t want kids. And that would including being a “step father”. Nothing personal against single mothers at all. I had a son. He died very young. Long story short it ruined my wanting to have kids.

Sincerly_KittyCat · Answer

I wouldn't want to date them because 1. they have a child or children in the first place. 2. Relationship like that works up the energy I dont have to spare.

Whatever2929292 · Answer

It would just depend on the woman. I mean what else can I say? That would depend. Long term I don't know how it would work out. But I would at least date her

Ευδεμονια · Answer

Maybe yes, because kids are though to raise up these days, especially in the country I live in. So here is normal to find people who don’t want a kid, despite being it a beautiful and natural thing.

MCheetah · Answer

No; I'm not changing diapers or kissing her kids' asses. I'm a teacher; I work with children every day. I don't want to come home to them, either.

jasmine_0603 · Answer

Most likely no, because I don't like children. Maybe if I really loved that person and their child was well-behaved and calm, but still not sure.

FictionalCharacter · Answer

No, because I myself want kids. If a guy doesn’t want any children, then I won’t waste our time and go find someone who does.

Harleigh90 · Answer

Want to say no because having at least one would be a dream. But if he honestly felt like that, it's a conversation to be had.

Avicenna · Answer

I'm not childless, but when I was, I would never have dated a single mom, much less one that didn't want more kids.

Sugar100 · Answer

No , there’s no point date someone forever with no future. The point of dating same person long time is to start own family together live life together, have kids.

Man-O-Metal · Answer

One of the things I’ve been patiently waiting for is to one day be handed my child in the delivery room. So it’s going to be a hard no for me.

VerbalWN · Answer

As a single guy. That has had any kids of my own yet. Why would I date a single mom that doesn’t want anymore?

OBB29 · Answer

I don't know. I go back and forth. But if you're asking for you, your opinion matters more than ours.

abc3643 · Answer

I married one like that. In fact, one reason why I married my wife was that she could NOT have any more kids.

MountAverage · Answer

I would maybe date a single parent, but depending on some factors I might not date them long term. If the child is still an actual child or even an infant, I'd probably not get myself too much into it.

whiskeyontherocks · Answer

Yes
I’d be curious to see how age plays a factor in this opinion. In my 20-30’s no but now yes if I were single.
But honestly if I got to deal with baby daddy issues or her disrespect to the father of there child than I’m out.

beebella · Answer

Probably not, because I also want kids, but even the other person wanted more kids, I dont really want to be a part of another blended family.

Berethor · Answer

I don't want to date a single mom, and her not wanting more kids only makes it worse.

oliver4love · Answer

It's not a normal decision and how we trust what the results in future..

Leshen · Answer

I would but not before I had my own child probably.

Literalbillionaire17 · Answer

No, I don’t mind them being a single parent, however I also want to have kids so no more kids would be a deal breaker.

user1516 · Answer

No. I simply wouldn’t because I’d actually want to create a family in the future.

RationalMale · Answer

A girl would have to be flat out amazing for me to want to date her as a single mom, or if I was like 40 or some shit.

loveslongnails · Answer

Depends on the age of the kid. I don't want any, so if it were a young child, then no.

Oldschool1981 · Answer
