Dont blame that crap on all women...I would NEVER act like that. And men are partly to blame for rewarding women for doing stuff like that. She must be a good looking woman who is used to idiots throwing money at her.

I cant believe she had the balls to do that. What a sleaze. But she must be hot enough that she has gotten away with that crap before. The things men will do for a woman if she looks good enough.

When I was 29, I met my future husband(2nd). I had 3 small kids, but I never told him about them until we were dating 7 months. He didn't need to know until I was sure things were going to work out between us, and I NEVER asked him for financial help. I worked (45-50) hours a week. I don't get why she would behave that way....

No offense, but not telling him for 7 months is completely and utterly uncool.

I would be PISSED if someone pulled that on me.

It's nice it worked out for you guys though.......

Yeah, I've been wondering what kind of nuddie pics she threw his way to make him keep thinking about it this long.

2. She asked me to pay for her daughter's child care (or a baby sitter) while we went on our FIRST DATE. She is in nursing school and her cash flow is not good right now. The cost for the child care is not much ($30 or $40 bucks for 3 hours). But as a rule, I don't pay for other kids child care, esp. people I don't know.

Mind you, we have NOT even met in person yet. And we've only chatted a few times on the phone. Am I overreacting to delete this girl's number now and move on to the next person?
Run.

Whatever floats your boat. I would actually have more respect for a women who waited and did not get the children involved in the relationship until she knew it was a sure thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if you told me this chick was from Atlanta. This story is VERY common in Atlanta. Happened to me about 2 or 3 times myself. Anyway, good job on not playing into this. Sucks how people are though.

It was not meant to hurt him or be untruthful. I just did not want my kids to get attached to him or vice versa, as I had dated guys before that and it had not worked out....too confusing. He was a great guy, and a loving father and husband until his untimely death in 2002.

I agree completely... I've written a few dissertations on the subject here on CD.

What I was saying, was to not mention that she had 3 kids for 7 months..... feels like lying to me.

I don't think that a woman should expose her children to a man until she thinks he's a keeper and they have a pretty serious commitment to each other.

Not telling someone that they have 3 kids... IDK, that is a major thing to wtihhold.

To me anyway.

I agree..... you shouldn't give your kids mixed messages....

I just think you should inform your date of you having 3 kids.. especially after the first couple of dates.

JMHO of course.
