Would you date someone who has kids?

[ZenJen444]

Yes

Hell to the no!

Depends

[Username28]

Yes. My boyfriend has 2 crotch goblins and has sole custody, I have no crotch goblins. Honestly, it’s awesome. Me having no crotch goblins probably makes it easier. We don’t have to worry about mixing crotch goblins together. It does have its obstacles so I understand why some people don’t want to be with a single parent.


They’re a package deal so it definitely requires some extra patience 😆 You’re gunnu want your s/o attention after a bad day but you can’t have it cuz the crotch goblins need it OR you have your s/o attention but it’s not necessarily undivided cuz the crotch goblins. If you’re a jealous or needy person I do not recommend.

🤣🤣🤣

[Sour-rose]

Nah. I attract all sorts of people, and kids are included. But knowing my partner and their kid both like me means that she's gonna trust me with her kid... and the kid is going to have to learn I don't deal with annoying bullshit. And will probably trust me as well. I don't want the kid to trust me. Because when they do... little bastards are gonna get attached and now you annoyin' me :) so now I gotta kick the kid off and break it off... so fuk

I might, but in most cases no. When it comes to children, fathers have lots of responsibilities but few rights. I would not want to jump into all of that and take on all that responsibility and risk for another man's children.

Also, to me having kids means marriage. And these days a man cannot be too careful about who he marries. Half of marriages end in divorce, women initiate the vast majority of them and men usually get screwed in divorce. So marriage is already a scary proposition for men, so why would I choose to go into one with a woman who already has a track record?

The only acceptable exception to me is a woman with kids who is widowed.

This may sound a little cruel but I want to be honest for practical reasons.


If we are casually dating for fun and stuff, I will let her know about a non invasive situation with the kids. I’ll be respectful and friendly with them if I meet them but don’t want to cause any major problems with the situation.


If it’s a serious or long term thing we might have to sit down and have an adult talk about it and what is expected in the situation.


If a crazy lady is strait up on the hunt for a new daddy for them kinda thing then I’d run for the hills.

[Avicenna]

No way, especially if it's more than one. Who needs all that chaos and drama?

[Little_Bumblebee]

No, I'm not interested in dating someone with a kid.

I'm not even sure I want my own kids... so..

And it makes the relationship that much more complicated, and then we have the other parent as well... just.. no..


And what if the kid is a little asshole? Fuck no

[Ian69]

I would love to date a woman with children/child. But I’ve never met the right one yet. My ex couldn’t have children, and we did discuss adoption at one stage. But now I’m to old to bring a child into the world. That’s why I would be over the moon to meet someone with children.

[erandal]

Interesting answers. As an ex single mom (ex decided to sleep with a friend when our child was about 4) it can work, but I do hear of so many cases where the parent with the child is basically a money grabbing asshole who just wants help with money and childcare.

[Psychotic_Buddhist]

It depends, I'm a personality guy, and a psychologist by nature, so I would if the correct situation and person presented itself, I mean I can pretty much get along with anyone I choose to, though I do prefer to have very few friends, I'm introverted by nature

[whiskeyontherocks]

It would greatly depend on there parenting and where I fit in the relationship. I’m willing to be the cool family friend that does fun stuff when there father asked. But I’m not getting in the way of his relationship unless it’s abusive.
I’m kinda in the process of fostering But the kids have to be house broken lol no diapers

[Anonymous]

Nope... I don't like kids hahaha

If he is the unique man in the earth.. Prefer being alone

Can u help me?

If he says "next time we see us will be the last one.. Why he wait a lot?

[integrale77]

I already do my girlfriend has a son we all get on well mainly because the father is out of the picture and well not in the same country.

We also have plans on expanding the family at some point.

[ShellyB]

I do not expect to need to decide since I am engaged and he does not have kids, however I marked "yes" because I think if I was single and met a great guy who had kids, I could accept it, I might even like it (I love kids).

[Mia-Wallace]

Yes. I love children and single fathers are usually okay. I grew up with a single father after the age of 10.

[TroyDT2]

Depends. Might sound harsh, but there really is a difference between the widowed mother of a future Rhodes Scholar and the stereotypical never-married mother of five kids from four different guys.

[DJB72]

I have a four year old son. If I found myself single again I'd be ok with dating a girl with kids. But I've always been prepared to if it was the right girl

[TheUniqueOne96]

Nah.

I'd feel like it'd be my duty to play a part in raising them and that's not a responsibility I want.

[Kori1236]

No, I don’t like kids. I tolerate the kids in my family unit but never want any of my own. So I wouldn’t want to date someone who had kids.

[ArrowheadSW]

Yes I would. At the age I'm at now, most of their kids would be out of the house anyway, if I dated a woman say over 48.

[RealMarek]

It can work. I think it helps if both the man and woman have children and are good with kids. For two people who left bad relationships, it is a chance to try to forge a stable family together.

[FreyaRed]

A guy who pays child support and see his kids occasionally is acceptable. A guy who raises a kid is not.

[Kaneki05]

If I didn't have to parent them sure thing. I ain't looking to become a parent but I could love someone who is a parent.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I would date a girl with kids because I see things this way, it's a package deal.

[Immie85]

I’ve got children so would have to say yes although really doesn’t matter
