In entering into a relationship you know if there are children. So if you persue the reatationship, you choose to include the child or children. No matter how many there are. It is all a matter of individual preferences. If there are several, some may feel they can't deal with that and there are some that relish in sharing the love with lots of them. It all depends on what you and your partner want together. The children are bonus's. Then there is the matter of the other parent's relationship with those kids and the two of you. Is it good or not? Do you agree with the parenting? If there are children involved in the relationship, thier best interests need to be considered. Can you love them all as your own? Can you and your new partner agree on parenting? We all see this differently. You make it what you want it to be. Work it!!

Of course we'd be lonely if it wasn't for God and Kathy working together to bring us into each other's arms with a wonderful future.

only because a child with asperger's can come across as being definitely bratty. they are very sensitive and melt down quickly...and can throw some of the biggest temper-tantrums you've ever seen, especially if noone has taught you the methods to calm them down, which are quite strange.

to touch her, for her, feels as if you are putting knives into her skin...it's extremely painful. to counter-act the sensitivity...i do firm massages and joint compression/rotation techniques, which would possibly be counter-intuitive.

it's difficult for ME, i can't imagine trying to deal with her if i didn't know her.

Yes it is, except with twins you go through the same stages together. With boys ten months apart...you have to do it twice, one right after the other and it sucked! I was 23 with 4 children by myself under the age of 5. It's all a blurr...nice to meet you. I'm Rebecca.

How old are your triplets? Are you dating, and if so, how is it for you with them? I'm just curious, not trying to pry.

Sometimes, it is more difficult for the parent of the child, because they get no breaks from it. They get to thinking that if they are about exhausted and at their wits end a lot of times, no one else would ever be able to deal with it. BUT, sometimes, another person will come in, understanding the needs of the child ('cause mom was totally upfront before he ever met the kid), and just gives mom a little break. Then, they can leave or stay. Kinda like Grandma who loves the little darlings and spoils them rotten, because she can always give them back. rolling on the floor laughing Happened for me anyway. A long time ago, was seeing a guy, and my roommate let him in while I was still sleeping. He popped his head in my room and saw my daughter waking in her crib. Picked her up, took her out of the crib, changed her, and spent a couple of hours entertaining her just so that I could get some sleep. (Parents with special needs kids rarely get enough.) He enjoyed it, and I was so grateful I made him dinner, that and every other night he came early and did this.

My boys are 15. They have given me a few gray hairs, when they were younger. No I am not dating. Not sure if I ever will. Two of my boys ,at this point, refuse to visit their dad. One does go back and forth. I do not think it would be a problem for them, if I ever dated again. One keeps looking for dates for me.
