Would you date someone who has kids?

Question

Username28 · Accepted Answer

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.

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 · Answer

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

Little_Bumblebee · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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

Anonymous · Answer

Nope... I don't like kids hahaha If he is the unique man in the earth.. Prefer being alone Can u help me?

whiskeyontherocks · Answer

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

integrale77 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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

TroyDT2 · Answer

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.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

DJB72 · Answer

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

RealMarek · Answer

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 · Answer

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

Kaneki05 · Answer

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.

bolverk · Answer

Would depend, If she were widowed then I'd try,  but If she were a single mother by choice then no, she has already made the concious decision that wants no man in her life full time

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

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

LazerBean · Answer

Not unless I also had kids already. But otherwise, absolutely not.

petitedollbabee · Answer

No, I don’t want kids so helping someone else raise their kids would be a waste of time.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes I would. You will see it is mostly, if not all, the men that will say no to this question. That should tell you a lot about males in today's world.

LaBokaChula · Answer

Yes I would, but I wouldn't date someone anymore who doesn't have them.

YourFavoriteFriend · Answer

There are always exceptions but I would avoid it.

AdithyaR · Answer

I don't want kids of my own anyways so dating someone with kids is a big no no. I'm not fit to be a parent.

Avatar74 · Answer

I suppose if I really fell for a woman who knows, maybe. It wouldn't be a ideal scenario for dating someone though in my eyes, I'd rather if they didn't have kids

Chthou95 · Answer

The dudes that said they would are only doing so to get sex because other than that why the fuck would you want to take care of someone else's kids

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, but also case by case. I’d be wondering what her interest level is in me. Obviously kids should be priority, but I’m not going to be just the wallet.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Only furry kids. Or like a really cool human kid.

Andres77 · Answer

I was a stepdad once. I’d never do that again.

Only if the dad is out of the picture and she has her own shit together

Havthrills · Answer

I have before and will again. If things turn out right, maybe add some more. Lol.

Brando10222 · Answer

No, cause since young age I never imagined myself being a stepdad

captain_voidwalker · Answer

Nope. Unless thier S. O. died , they Cleary have poor judgment and should be avoided.

Anonymous · Answer

No way in hell. I hate kids and i don’t even want to be around them even though theyre teenagers/adults

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

I need to truly find out what happened to the father first. I might end up like him.

EaterPeter · Answer

Not to that extent though I am sure some guys have much worst experiences than I do

SpaceGalaxy · Answer

Yes, of course... as long as they don't constantly talk about their kids!
