It is important to a man to carry on his own genes. More than women realise. It is against a man's nature to invest in another man's children. I know some do but it is against the grain. This may be the problem you're coming up against.

It would be difficult to find a woman of your maturity who hasn't had children. Most men will accept the fact , unless you have an "army" of them .

Maybe you should try to find a man who simply accepts that you have children, rather than trying to find one that will accept them as his own kids. They are not his children. They are yours.
But they are usually the ones looking to meet up ,why bother, if me having children is going to be an issue .no one is forcing them to make contact .

Maybe they see single mothers as easy prey.. Not myself, of course.

It's just as hard for us guys too.
It's not only a new dynamic for you or your partner, it's a new dynamic for your kids.
Bottom line is that your kids aren't biologically from your new found partner and never will be and your kids have an uncanny way of KNOWING this.
Take your time and if your partner or future partner realize this then so much the better but kids aren't dumb and most probably will show dislike for new comers.
Babettefr: It's a big responsility and a challenge,, depending on the age of the kids,, most young kids from a borken broken family have more or less passed a traumatic period of abandon,, no matter how they correct the line,, but then,, there are men too have kids from their divorce,, just a joint force might work for some ,,, love defines everything.

Really? I have the same problems to find a man to accept my kids. I just need him to be my kids' friend, not a father.

yes, she comes as a package - meaning a woman with children.

n the wild, if a lion takes on a lioness who has kids, his first job is to kill them and replace them with his own, I'm not suggesting that this should happen in human society, but we all have remnants of the wild in us.
