Dating Women With Children

The older I become, the more difficult it becomes to find a woman without kids. There is nothing wrong with kids, but due to the fact that I don't have any... it's been my preference to date women without kids. That's exactly what it is... A Preference! Often times women with children get upset when I say I don't like to date women with kids. But just like tall or short, light or dark... black, white or other... It is a preference.

I have dated women with children, I have even lived with women that had children. Children can be fun, but some children do not receive the proper discipline. I've been wet by a water hose when I had a suit on, had things come up missing and of course the thing that men love to hear most when dating a woman with children... "You aren't my daddy!" So does that mean they don't have to listen? If you are dating a woman with a child... at what point is it appropriate to discipline the child... and to what extent? Can you yell at the child? Can you spank the child? Or does the child do what they want... when they want? If I do date a woman with a child, I prefer a young child... because if that is someone I am going to be with long term I can be more of an influence on the way the child is raised before they are set in their ways.

Another reason I shy away from dating women with children is because the child's father will still be in the woman's life. Most of the time the man has messed up so bad the woman doesn't want anything to do with him. But speaking from a mans perspective.... No man wants to imagine his ex having s*x with another man... and giving an opportunity he would sleep with her again. Given the fact that a woman has a child by a man presents more opportunity for them to hook back up... So when she's dropping off little Johnny... that's not the only thing she's dropping.

Dating women with children also put limitations on the things that you can do. You may not be able to go out when you want to or stay up as late as you want. Children have a tendency to wake up early... ready to play! They don't want to watch the news, drink a cup of coffee, read the newspaper... they are ready to play... EARLY!!!

I have also dated women that didn't have the cutest kids... How are you suppose to handle that? They come home from school like... "The kids were making fun of me calling me ugly!" What am I suppose to say.... "WELLLLLL!!!!"

The older i become dating women with children is more a fact of life... So I guess I will have to adjust... But that's just Trey's Opinion.

Well, you are entitled to your preference.. I prefer to date someone that has children and he participants as a man should in their lives. Datin itself is a challenge so I can imagine dating with children can be more challenging for both parties. Many mothers have to be ver selective and careful of whom they bring around their children. As for me, I don't bring any around mine, I do date and I enjoy, but I take more time now than ever before. One I don't want my daughter or son to get the wrong impression of relationships.
I could not help but laugh at some of your expriences, because some children are not discipline and of course you feel like the ousider so you put limits on what you say and do. Hopefully you will find a woman without children that can fill the void and share your interest and ideas... Good Luck!!!

for me as a man i also prefer a women without children, for me it tells me something about her character, if she can sleep with someone she isn't married to then she can do the same to me and i want a woman who is responsible and who will be a moral compass for my future children. I don't want them to think if mommy can do it then i sure can. It also tells me that she is able to give it up very fast and she is without any standards and that is not what i want. It also tells me that she is not ready for a serious relationship and does not want marriage and i am all about marriage Secondly for me i have always pictured that i would start a family and not enter one that is already established. thirdly i think that i am not ready for that kind of relationship and i am afraid that when i do date a woman with children she would want me to "help out" with the child's expenses and that is not what i am all about, i believe that if i didn't cause you to have a child and that the child is another man's responsibility i am not going to independently going to take it on. I refuse to take on another man's responsibility and that he gets off from his responsibility and i don't want to be placed into that situation. I might seem harsh but i was raised to take relationships and my responsibilities very seriously and if i want to take care of children that are not my own i will go and adopt from a child adoption agency which i will do in the future. But good luck with you and i so know how you feel.
