But it doesn't necessarily follow that having your own kids means you'd be willing to take on someone elses. I know from bitter experience Sad


I ment i wouldnt expect some one my age who hasnt got kids to want to get involved with me who has.


I understood that IJ. I think what i was trying to say tho' was kind of the opposite. You'd think someone with kids would be okay with someone else with kids, but it doesn't always work out that way. It's back to the old "each to their own"

No because I have a child of my own but even if I didn't it wouldn't put me off

Well, apart from the few guys in here, where are all the others that would take on someone with 4 kids?!!!

I went onto a parent dating site before i found fb and nearly every guy I looked at stated emphatically they weren't interested in taking on someone's kids!! What the hell were they doing on there?!!!!

Sh*t, I'm getting pissed tonight Sad

Ouch, please accept one virtual hug. Not having been in that situation it is silly to comment. All I would say is that I would at least want to be sure that I could support that family before accepting the responsibility. Which would mean crunching a few numbers. But when the lady has such a pretty smile?

I'll be honest, if used to make me slightly uneasy about getting involved with someone if they had children, mainly because I don't have any myself and would worry that perhaps if they had "been there and done that" then they might not feel like they want it all over again...... which maybe some day I do.

More recently though I find that its not an issue for me at all and most guys who have kids are quite willing to have more someday, so that apprehension has gone!

Why Tiny, are you finding it a hinderance in the dating game?

Very True Words..... there is a bigger taboo here in Ireland for unmarried mothers than is normal for a country i think. An old ex of mine was a single mother, and whilst i had no problem with her son, She was so utterly acomodating to me in our relationship that it was a little errie. She wrongly thought that no one would go near her, and when she found a guy she clung onto him awful hard.

The attitude and self image of the single parent is a big factor in a relationship. It should not be regarded as a taboo.

Single parents should be proud of the fact that despite everything, they have the strength of character to raise children on their own, and not worry constantly that they are less appealing or less attractive as a result.

Children are a medal on your chest, not a chain around your neck.

No, don't think so... My only problem would be transport - 2 seats and just enough luggage space for an extra toothbrush. Laughing
