Question

If yes, would you financially support the child?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I already have been, was basically a teaser of what being a father was like for as long as we were together (Was a long distance relationship so I didn't get the full experience and of course my girlfriend had the lead in the decisions of her child, but I did help out when I could especially in coming up with solutions or advice). Got along well with the child nearly immediately because while her kid was to young to speak I was playing little sounds trough a soundboard and the kid would give it a unique nonexistent word. She'd then use the words she made up for the sound she wanted me to play, and I then played the corresponding sound. She felt connected and like I really took her seriously, and was clearly very amused by that. And there were more moments where i'd be the only one who understood what the child meant. Example of that was when she could talk a bit and she say'd "something happened very long ago, like 3 hours ago!" and she got corrected that this infact didn't happen 3 hours ago. I stood up for her because she was correct, it did happen and it did happen longer ago but in her experience 3 hours was a very long time. In reality, it was longer. So it was a nice balance of her both receiving the feedback that the 3 hour comment was incorrect, and me defending that what she meant was correct.

I did, I am, and I do. I bought her a hambuger and fries the other day. Mom pays for lots, but I do as well. It's a team effort. I don't have my own kids, wish I did, so I spoil hers and care for others when I like.

If you have a kid young, well... you made a big decision. It happens, it's nature, and congratulations. But it's not the end of the world, it's the start of the new world. There's guys that will date, marry you... and guys that won't. But use your head, slow down, and do it right so you have the right support structure in place for your child and future children.

Failure to do that just means lots of drama and suffering.

If I enter a relationship with a man who has children, and I commit, those kids are just as much mine as they are his and their biological mother. If that child (dren) accept me as a mother figure, I'm taking on the role. I can't even begin to imagine denying a young child that way just because I didn't give birth to them.

IslaTheWitch · Accepted Answer

of course, but there is a condition: the kid would have to like me and agree to the relationship... those things can't be forced on kids...

if they agreed, I would be like a mom to them... it includes financial support and everything else

Diving into the deep end of love can sometimes mean splashing into a pool that already has some swimmers. Yes, being in a relationship with someone who has a child is absolutely possible, and it's a journey sprinkled with its own unique sparkles and challenges. When it comes to financially supporting the child, think of it as part of the package deal. If your heart is all in, extending your support shows your commitment not just to your partner but to what’s important to them. It's not just about opening your wallet but opening your heart to the loves of their life. Keep in mind, every situation is unique, so communication is key. Make sure you both are on the same page about expectations, boundaries, and what this beautiful blend of lives looks like. After all, love isn't just a feeling; it's an action. 🌟

If I had the means to and I truly loved her. But that all depends on how she became a mother. If she was sleeping around and got pregnant that’s a red flag. I don’t live like that and I expect a partner who has the same values I have.

But. It all depends on her situation

Peter_Penetrator · Answer

I would only HELP support her child (ren) if we were married. I would also have the final say so in how her kid (s) were disciplined while living under our roof. I am a fair individual and l only use corporal punishment as a last resort. If her kids are in their teens and we are only dating, it all depends on the temperament of her kid (s) if l choose to marry. Once they are in their teens, and raised wrong, their personalities are set in stone. Been there done that, and gave the ashes of that t shirt back to my ex wife in a box with a pretty ribbon.🎀

So I was on a dating app a few wks ago. Matched with a girl who said she’s divorced and has a 3 yr old son. We chatted for the first wk, by the second week she was messaging less until she said I don’t see you as husband material. I don’t have stupid stuff on social media. I was even open to the idea of taking care of her son like he was my own. I think she’s a shitty person to judge me and say I’m not husband material when she truly doesn’t know me. Never would I pursue a girl who’s divorced with a child. This one incident changed my perception for good of females with kids.

Once the little cherub has been safely escorted off to school, it's time for Mommy dearest and me to explore the depths of our desires and delights. I take a very hands-on approach with my lovely partner. For starters, she'll often find herself bound securely in cotton ropes. The artistry of knots and intricate patterns serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a powerful reminder of her submission to me during these intimate sessions.

From there, I might incorporate various sensory experiences designed to heighten awareness and arousal – think soft fabrics against sensitive skin, gentle whispers of praise and encouragement, or perhaps even the tantalizing sensation of ice cubes trailing down bare flesh. Each experience is tailored specifically to my beloved's needs, ensuring maximum satisfaction and growth within our dynamic.

HawkPerception · Answer

At this point in my life, I would enter a relationship with a girl that has a kid or kids, but only if she was open to having more. I would not financially support her kids unless I was to have kids with her myself. Her kids are not my responsibility unless I start a family with her. Just my opinion.

DarkLegacy · Answer

I certainly would not as im not a mug. Why should i financially support someone else's child, where is the father. It sounds like a case of a woman taking up with some bad guy and getting lumbered with a kid and thinking it is ok to lumber some guy with the child.

bobby_bush_eater · Answer

Yes and yes. It would have to be under some acceptable circumstances and or she'd have to be an extraordinary woman because I do not intend to date any fools.

I'd prefer a woman with no kids but someone who aligns with me morally, has similar values, I am compatible with, and I'm physically attracted to is likely in my eyes a great person. If she's already a good mother that detracts nothing. The circumstances of her child's father do matter though

Jkgordon · Answer

At the age I’m now they would be adult children. And only if they are divorced lije me. I don’t deal with people who have kids and never was married.
