flairbg: why do men realise you got kids there not interested


I was a single mom. It wasn't easy to find a man, especially one who wanted to include my daughter in the relationship. I've heard men say they don't want ready-made families... so unfair.

But then again... if the child's own father can't take the responsibility, why should someone who didn't even MAKE the child? It does suck though. sigh

But not all men are like this, what you need to understand is that in order for a relationship to work there has to be quality time for the couple, just as you would if you were still married.
Some mothers find a decent guy then spoil any chance of a romance by say "My kids will always come first" we, as men, are fully aware of this, we don't need to be told, all it does is make us feel as if we are second best.
So to my way of thinking if you can balance time between both your children and your man, then you will have a far greater chance of finding that Mr Right.

IMO, it's selfishness. And some men have a problem with raising other men's children. Sometimes they think if they have to reprimand the child(ren), they'll have to answer to another person. Others don't want the 'added expense'... roll eyes

How old were your children when you were trying to date? The age of a child makes a difference trust me. I have a 21 month old it is hard to find a man that doesn't mind that I have my son 95% of the time. Men don't want to have to help you watch a child all the time because at my son's age he has to be watched all the time.

Wrong.... so wrong.... stop blaming the guy.......

I was with my ex for 21 years before we had children, then when the first one arrived I was overjoyed and wanted to be involved so much, it was not true, but what happened....... she had got what she wanted.... cildren adn I was toyally excluded, even to the point of being accused of being a useless father.


Realise that when you have children, you as a woman give 100% to you child..... it's not the case that a guy does not want to know, but it is a case that you as a Mother will not allow him to get close........

Give us guys a break FFS doh

I most certainly hope you are not talking about all men, because this is simply not the case. Besides, both men and women have choices. And if a man does not want a relationship with a women who has children that is his right, and it is not a selfish attitude, just a damn preferance.

If a person really wants to engage in a serious relationship they will accept the fact you have children, simple as that.

Too many people moaning about men on this site off late, if it was not for men you would not have children!

The only time I dont have my son is when I am in school. The guys I have gone on dates with don't like having my son around. They usually stop calling within 2 weeks. Maybe its just the area that I am in, or my age.
