How should I answer this question if I have my kids 2 weeks of the month?

eH should have a part-of-the-time option.

If I recall correctly the question is how many kids live with you full time..

I would answer 2 but also put a blurb I only have my kids 2 weeks of the month in your profile..

I'm wondering if they don't put the part time option in because it could mean a whole range of things, from I have the kids every third weekend to I have the kids every day except every third weekend.

I do know that when you put in that you have kids at home possible dates often assume that means you at least have the occasional weekend off. Most are surprised if you really do have kids at home all the time.

i think you should answer YES. As I woman, I want to know if you have kids - at home or not. I think the question should be changed.

I guess if you say NO will you mention in your profile that you have children.

I'd rather love someone I can't have than have someone I can't love.

Again I think this is the perfect answer.

2 kids having them at 50% equates to 1 kid....so yes you have a children.


You could mention this in your profile that you have the split custody of the kids.

You have children. I would answer "yes."

This is one of a number of things eHarmony do to accomodate and comfort women (listing height but not weight being another.)

I think it may be a good idea to provide more information in the "something else" section of your profile, where you can explain the schedule.

The truthful answer is yes you have kids at home.
