Dating isn't easy, and with your kids, his kids, etc... it can cause problems in any dating scenerio. My preference is to date a man who has not had any children, or kids grown up and out of the nest. Which I know is not really fair since I have 2 children, one out of the nest, the other still very much attached to it, though growing much too old for it, so may have to be pushed out soon..if you know what I mean!
I just think that things are easier if you are dating someone without children, even though you do have children.
What does everyone else think?

Can I answer, or am I still in the ignore list?

I quoted this for you in case you are still on the ignore list.....

And yes without children is 100 times easier.

Well, at my age I'm working from the assumption that he is likely to have young to teenage children. It doesn't bother me.

I think your wanting a man like this is fine. 'Fair' is irrelevant. The same way a really fat man might want a skinny woman. The only thing that matters is if you can actually get what you want. So...go for it. All's fair in love and war.

i will admit to the same bias- i have three (all at home) but would prefer a woman w/o children for a variety of reasons.

fair? probably not- but it is my preference.

I don't have any children, but from what I have read in the posts, a number of women with children prefer to date a man with children, because he has had the experience to understand what it is like for HER to be a parent also.

I feel I must eat some crow. Mmmm . . . delicious.

On other threads here, I stated that I would rather not date a man with children, yet here I am dating a man who has kids and I've never been happier. I get along really well with the kids and their mom and there isn't any tension about who spends time with whom or if some of our dates involve the kids or take place a little later in the evening so he can spend time with them. I've come to enjoy those times with the kids as something incredibly special and it means a lot to me to be able to develop a relationship with his children. They are a part of him and I cannot help but love them as such and in their own right as the beautiful people they are.

Then, you forgot to mention, do you have children as well?
