I would date someone with kid(s) but it wouldn't go beyond casual dating.

At my age (late 40s) I'd prefer not to date someone with kids unless his kids were grown and out of the house. In my 20s and 30s, no, I would not have dated anyone with kids at all. I never wanted them, myself, so of course I didn't want to be a step-mother, either.

I think your wife might take issue with that

If I were single I would date someone with kids. I like kids and they like me. Now, babies? No...I'd never go back there again. I love babies but I'm too far removed from that stage. They need to be independent...feed, dress, shower, and make their own b-fast and lunch. I'm retired from that.

Yip I would only if they were open to having more kids! I love kids and would like more, plus the practice is really fun too:P

Sure. I mean, I have kids, so I have no problem dating someone with kids.

Oh, good thought.

I wouldn't be open to more. If I were single and he wanted kids that would not work. Ideally, he'd be snipped. Actually, I think that might be a requirement of someone I would date seriously (if I were single of course).

Been there...done that. Never again!!!

You will ALWAYS be second place. Third if they have a pet.

Gave it my best shot. I raised him and think I did good despite the garbage I got from biological mother claiming I treat him differently because he is not mine. No! If he needs discipline...I'm gunna give him discipline...mine or not.

Never again!!!!!!!!!!!
