Depends. Are the children adults and on their own?

Are they younger and the parent has only partial custody?

Or are they younger and fully dependent on the parent?

It is impossible to answer this question without details.

I'm sad that people might think my widowed mom shouldn't date because I have 2 or more siblings...

(Just pointing out that your question assumes certain narrow stereotypes about single parents)

If you're crazy about the mother then anything is possible

Question is do you think it's a no-no?

Depends on many factors as stated above.

Not a straight yes or no answer for most on here.

This is not just a no but a HELL no in my book. It's one thing if there are one or two kids, but potentially three or more, I'd runaway from that situation.

Depends on the situation.

If someone MY age had three or more children they are no doubt very young. Personally, not too sound snarky, but I wouldn't want to date someone with children; not right now anyway. That is WAY beyond my experience level.

Depends.

How many kids are your bringing to the party?

If it's three of your own, I would consider getting a housekeeper, but you'll have to screen her carefully. They tend to date local butchers named Sam.
