Nope Im not.

One of my ex's had a little boy that lived with him. At first it was a bit hard to adjust to it, cos I was just 18 and kids were not part of my world, but I liked him so i accepted and tried my best to make his boy comfortable around me too.

kids doesn't bother me as i have one myself, but i think even i'd be a bit dubious about someone who had 6..

Between 11 and 24, doubt the 24 year old would like being called a kid.

Personally yes, but I'm not at a point in my life where I can stop being an immature idiot. I do whatever takes my fancy, and I like to do things on the spur of the moment. Children would put a stop to that.
Obviously I have no problems with children, I'm pretty good with them on the whole, just right now it's a no.
In the future I would fully expect that to change.

I got in touch with my feminine side. She emailed me back saying if I ever contacted her again she'd call the police.

No i wouldnt be put off personally and i have dated someone that had 2 young children living with him...11 isnt that young either so i say go for it

My 2p, under the cover of being an immature idiot - as WSS would put it...

Really depends on what age the kids are... As long as they're old enough I don't know if it would be a problem (well for me)...

However from what I've heard so far from men with little kids (not that I ever dated one), they're so into their kids (which is fair, to be honest) that I kinda feel like I wouldn't get enough attention.

And I, for one, am an immature attention seeker. LOL

But, as long as they're big enough (although I don't know what this big enough thing is, as children go through all sorts of changes and problems until 21, and I really wouldn't want to seem a thief in front of a 12 year old girl, par example, if you know what I mean)... I don't see why not.

Anyway, don't mind me... Don't even know why I answered.

To be honest, it hasn't put me off and I really don't know very much about the guy yet but I thought it would make an interesting thread for people to share their experiences regarding dating people who have children who are part of their lives.

It could raise issues that I hadn't thought of........

I wouldnt let it bother me to be honest! ive dated quiet a few guys with kids and that was back in my younger days, i never found it interfered with me and them. But i guess it would depend on what their relationship was like with their ex, i mean i cant be dealing with psycho exs out to kill me!!! id much rather a guy with no kids but id have no probs with taking them on if he was the right guy.

Depends on a few things..mainly the lady and the kids [ages, temperament, etc].

One little baby is different then a women with 6 kids. Kids will probably be an issue, but not a surpassable issue.

I take it they are an issue Sue??

At the moment kids aren't an issue.

I've only had one very long conversation with the guy I like special, and I don't even know what love his kids are, nor anything about their mum or mums. I might not even hear from him again 'cos that happens on the web too.
Also, I've not really even considered a long term relationship with anyone until this year, so I'm exploring my thoughts around different scenarios as I don't know what I want either.

I dont think anyone can say kids definatly wont be an issue. They will bound to be if you start dating someone and the have six kids of all ages running about all the time.

Probably depends on if the parent has access to child minding, and whether you can spend time alone.

Also, I now some older women who have gone through the process of bringing up kids and dont want to go through it again.

From my point of view, I'd have to wait and decide when the situation, and what kind of relationship arose.

That's a real tough one Sue. 6 kids is a lot.

For me, I wouldn’t be fussed if I met someone really nice who had a kid. However, I would like children of my own one day. So if I were to get into a long term relationship, I would want to make sure that my partner wanted kids with me too.

Is that selfish?
