It wouldn't put me off at all, after all, you're in a relationship because you love somebody. If the bloke in question isn't willing to take the mother & child as a package, then the relationship isn't for him. If the child was young enough, I'd be willing to take the other person's child on as my own, and I wouldn't feel any less feelings compared to that of my own children. If the biological father isn't man enough to stand by their children, plenty of other people are! As for my own children, I've got one at the minute, who I'm 90% certain I'm the father to, and another on the way, but I'm only 1% certain that the unborn's mine, but I'll love him as if he were my own! It's not his fault that his mother dpesn't know who the father is! q=o)
Its not a case of being man enough to stand by his children,its how the relationship with the mother goes,if that ends then he can't be with his kids all the time. I don't see my daughter,but that doesn't mean i'm not man enough to stand by her or anything.
I'm talking in general again, I know alot of fathers that diss own their children, but on the other hand there are people out there like me, that's like to see their children more, but the mother makes it difficult. q=o)
DEPENDS IF THEY'RE OLD ENOUGH YET TO WANT TO BORROW YOUR CAR!!!!
But seriously no, but it is something you have to think about seriously if you want your relationship to work as the woman's child/children will always come first, unstandably so too. And you have to consider their feelings (if old enough or later in life) & thoughts as well.
It puts me off if a woman has children. If you are going to get involved, then you have to except the children too, which is totally understandable. In the past I have taken on 5 different women and childs and made good friends with the children, But when the relationship has come to an end, the children have become an extension of the mothers feelings, and most children will automaticly side with mum. Thus teaching the child if mum dont wanna be with boyfriend anymore, then neither do the children. This to me is unexceptable, so I would not want to get involved with a woman that has children. This is very emotionly painfull for a man.
