All my kids are over 18 and flown the coop and this is new for me so I'm really enjoying it. I'm also looking for a special guy who is "the one" who I can spend the rest of my life with. I finally see a guy on the dating app who looks good to me but then I lost interest after he told me he had 4 kids who were all minors and living at home. Am I horrible for that?
I just don't feel like dealing with kids right now, I need a break.
(PS - FTR, I'm not interested in casual dating or "sometimes lovers". I'm looking for something serious and that's non-negotiable)
Like you said, all your kids are grown and gone. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to date someone who is under similar circumstances as yourself.

Thanks. Now this guy is talking to himself because I just don't have the heart to tell him that I'm not interested now because of the kids.
No you are not horrible for that. You are in a position where you can do things like travel, go out or whatever and you want a partner that has the same freedom of choices too and you cannot have that with minor children at home.
I think you do owe it to the guy to let him know that though. You can let him know without sounding bad. Just tell him you are at a point in your life that you want that freedom to do things that you cannot do with minor children. Wish him well on his search because you are interested in a long term commitment.
No worries. It's always good to hear men's thoughts anyway.
