I also see posts here from people saying they won't date parents, and I am among the biggest offenders. Made me wonder how many feel this way because of experience. I do, I dated a couple of men with kids because I believed they would be better boyfriends. I had dated a string of jerks, so figured dads would be better. I found that they were just like single childless men except with kids. The drama was beyond bad. One guy was going through a brutal child support case and spending most of his money on his kids and ex-wife and we had to date cheap. His ex was causing trouble and let it be known if we had married she would go to court to get more child support and alimony. We never married but the woman he did marry was put through a lot because of her. In many states they can raise child support and alimony based on the new spouse and this reputedly happened to them. Even so, he was spending so much that he had little to spend on me. The Christmas we were dating he pressured me to buy gifts for his kids so I did. Guess what he bought me? nothing, he couldn't afford it. Same with my birthday. When we did go out it was usually cheap restaurants unless I paid. One time I paid and he brought his daughter along.
The second and third guys weren't as bad but still not my thing. The second guy was also broke but with him we constantly had to change plans because of his kids. The third guy had grown kids but still too much to deal with because his kids wanted him to reunite with their mom.
Of course I also avoid because of religion but back then I wasn't a practicing Catholic so it didn't matter.
I know there are others who experienced these things here but I wonder how many did or is it because of other reasons? Btw of the three guys I mentioned only one was overweight. One was very handsome and in shape. All three had good jobs, and two were college educated.
Dating a girl right now with a daughter, but I haven't met her yet. I see no reason to not date a really nice and good looking person because she has a kid?
When I was younger I did, he was an amazing guy but I wasn't ready for homework and soccer practice, these days I'm cautious , unless I really liked the guy, I wouldn't entertain the idea
It really all depends on if it looks like the ex is bitter and on a PAS bender. If so, I think a wise single would keep walking.
