Sandy0123: I'm 45 an Asian woman with 3 kids. How many men out there prefer not to have a woman with the baggage & how many don't mind at all?
Any man that loves a woman will not mind the baggage at all. It's finding a balance in the realtionship he has with the woman, the children and how they view him.
Many children find it hard to accept another man in the life of their mother, so it's the Man to child relationship that is the difficult part, and probably needs the most effort !

How long is a piece of string? Some men really can't be bothered with the hassle, the expense, the commitment. Some men feel that if you're prepared to uproot your complete family then somehow that means you're going to take the marriage more seriously, most men are somewhere in-between, I'm afraid it really is a lottery. Good luck and don't give up.

JMHO
Thanx Englishman, that's exactly what I'm worried about, whether my kids will get along well with their new dad or not...

Personally, I don't mind. I have been in relationships before with women who had children; the only problem that came up was if the ex was very active in the childrens' lives. Sometimes it may cause unnecessary problems.

I dont mind childeren, in fact I love them so very much. I think that for some men your childeren would be considered a blessing.
If we can let go of the baggage of our past relationships and treat each person as brand new, we have a better chance at things....but most of us seek relationships based upon what WE want so therefore we end up using the other party to gain something that we feel we are missing in our lives. They become like a commodity to us subconsciencely
Well, I dated a woman for 2 years once. She had 3 kids, and a job which kept her occupied late nights over the weekend. From my experience, first came her kids, second came her kids, third came her job, and fourth came I, and sometimes I didn't even come!!...lol But I was very welcome to help with the bills. She freely admitted that she was looking for a sugar daddy, to make her free time more enjoyable. That's fine, I loved her honestly. It's just a question of what a man is looking for. But if I did it over again, I'd be looking for a woman with less baggage. Hey, it's about ME now!

Hi Iuchi, Some men are happy to have a family though the kids aren't his. They are longing for a warm family since they've been alone too long. Of course, if the man isn't serious about the commitment, expense & whatever after marriage will be impossible to continue. Everyone has to cooperate in such cases, right?
HotrodLarrys: Hi Sandy, We all have some luggage, may just be attitude, but who can say they are perfect? Clean, No Luggage, No Faults, WRONG We may think we have nothing, but we all have something!!!
Sandy0123: Thanx Englishman, that's exactly what I'm worried about, whether my kids will get along well with their new dad or not...
Understand that the kids Dad, is only one, a Step Dad is Secondary, tho depending on the age of the kids.... But still they need to Know their Dad( If Possible)

Hi seveneyes, Thanx for the encouragement, that feels much better. I guess there are sincere men out there.
Sandy0123: Hi HotrodLarrys, I absolutely agree with you.
Thanks Sandy, It Takes the right man if you have 3 kids, and yu really need to get to know him Very Well, before exposing kids to a new Man Symbol..... It will take a Special Man to accept this role, Truthfully My Kids are Grown, and I am not crazy about raising Kids, as i feel i have fulfilled my duties, tho if I met that Special Woman, I would Consider it, If She Had Kids, I could be a Man Figure or Role model, But Do I want To? Maybe?

Hi Odysseus, I think until the kids are still studying the kids will be first. Since I've got a full-time job my man if possible should be considerate & help me out with few things at home. If I'm happy I'm sure I can make my man very happy too.
Shanny77: I know you said men....but I just have to say one thing.CHILDREN ARE NOT BAGGAGE AND ANY GUY WHO THINKS THEY ARE...CAN KICK ROCKS!!!! You don't need or want a man who would think that about children.Just my 2 cents
Hi Shanny,
I love my kids & never thought them as baggage but that's what men call them, right?
