Would you date a single mom?

Would you date a single mama? Or ladies, a single daddy?

If no, how come? Would being ASD particulary make you not want to invest in a woman with "excess baggage" so to speak.

(Although my kids are not baggage- they are bonuses- mini me's!) As if my being a redhead isn't enough to deal with...hehe

I dated a guy with a 4-year old kid. Maybe this was just this particular guy, but he kept leaving the childrearing up to me - he was very old-fashioned, a 50's mentality, and thought raising children was a woman's job. It wasn't my place to supervise, discipline and set boundaries for his kid, I didn't have the authority, but he kept trying to push me into the job.

You ARE right about kids, though - I wound up liking the kid better than the boyfriend!

Probably not. I'd much rather prefer that my first-born child be my soul-mate's first-born as well. (If I could ever find my soulmate, wherever she is )

Tim (aka the Slipperman)

I would, as long as she is older than me. I luv cougars!! !

I've almost decided not to have children anyway but well, accidents happen.

I'm older than you....hear me roar!

*growls*

It isn't something that makes me turn away; the situation and the children might affect things, but that only comes with each experience.

It would depend on the girl. For some women, all they ever talk about is their kid(s), which kinda gets tiring hearing about it all the time, and they are usually too busy to give you their full attention. If you are one of those, then no, but I definitely wouldn't rule it out.

I wouldn't mind getting with a single mom, as long as she was willing to be more of a mom...

A big difference between not dating the suddenly dating someone with kids and co-habitating

Yes, If we're cool for each other... then her having kids doesn't matter to me.

I don't mind kids, once they get older.

It would have to be clear that I'm in no way going to fulfill a role in the kids life though.

I'm still unsure if I want to have children myself... and being an authority in another kids life kind of creeps me out...

I would prefer a woman with kids over no kids.

If they do not expect me to be an instant dad, then things can be worked out.

having kids of their own, odds are that they are more responsible individuals, also more can be seen how she treats her kids and her children's mannerism around her... moreso than just working overtime for me, picking up on body language and such...

Redheads are nice, especially if they have a bit of a temper... even better. I prefer a woman who is not nice, because you have more difficulty knowing where they stand on things, I'll take a woman with kids and is a bit bitchy and has a temper than a woman that has no kids and is nice... (nice = knife in the back sometime)...

I will know boundaries, know what is expected, etc... and she will be a responsible person... much better than dealing with grey areas and unknowns...

I don't want kids. I will never have kids. Only way I would date someone with children is if the children either were grown and out of the house or she does not have full custody. I've found the women with children that are dating say they are not looking for another dad for the kids, but they really are. Another lie by women.

Honestly probably not. It is not that I have a problem with single mums. I have every respect for them. I just think that is would add that whole other level of complexity, when it is complicated enough for me already. You also have consider the impact on the kid’s life. I'm not absolutely convinced I would make a good dad, father figure or even just a boyfriend of mum. My assessment of parenthood in general is most people are crap at it, just that some are a little less crap than most.
