Do you keep your children a secret on your first date? How do you introduce your date to your children? How do you introduce your children to your date? Are your children more important than your date? Are your children the most important thing in your life?
Please be honest & tell the truth on all the above......
I tell anyone I talk to I have children first and formost...Course my son isn't here now, but my daughter is. Since she is a teenager, I will introduce as per norm. This is, and this is... My ex is getting married and really didn't bother to care about thier feelings... But, I do. However, I am at a point in my life where it is my time. Everyone knows kids will have those off times, if they don't then they will, LOL. Comes with the education process. If thy cannot handle kids, they need no bother. Profiles say what's there...
Adult time is for me now. There will be a balance...
of course my sons are the most important part of my life!!! and yes they are more important then my "date". I tell the guy right off the bat that I have children. because if thats a problem in any way...theres no first date! my sons are older, if I'm interested in someone I just introduce them to each other.
Your giv a dam might be busted, but your priorities are certainly not .... your children should be the carousel of your life and the future men in your families life if they want to participate in it should be acceptant of the fact that your children are one of the more important priorities .....
Lily you are so right, children on a date can make it fun, there so much more to do when you bring children along ... Zoo's, picnic's, merry-go-rounds just to see who gets the brass ring ... Childrens laughs and pleasures can be a joy to all, and you can enjoy more of the simple good things of life!
dickfitz, How right you are, For a sucessful relationship it should be started with a firm fondation.
I believe no one should look into the beautiful eyes of a woman and see the hint of secret lies ... so many people have ridden down that road before and have ended in disasterous divorce!

potential dates all know i have kids and the fact i am a nana.My daughter is 21 and on her own but my son is 5 so I would probally introduce him a couple dates down the line..
I ABSELUTELY let anyone I would even THINK about dating know that I have kids, three of them. If that's one too many or three too many, then i sure don't need what you have to offer. Because I know that whatever you've got cannot be as fullfilling as what my children give me everyday.
Grl4grl, One for the penny, two for the show, three is better and you're right to let them know! Gee, girl, sounds like you do have a fillfulling life ... upfront is the best way to go ... Smiles to you ... Thanks for your imput.. JimEee
Nene, I just have one thing to say to you .... Lol Your curl is driving me crazy ... Ha ha!
Seriously ... I always await the depth of your reply! ... But Dam, why are you so much cutier than I. Ha ha!
And I know that you make a better mother, cuz I don't have the equipment for the job ...like you do! ... Lol ... Smile!
You and all the guys and girls on this Forum, make my day! And your right, your kids are growing up into adulthood and it's your time to howl ... or such I say quietly date the guy next door and enjoy some of life's goodies which you deserve!
You are one fiesty lady ... peaking over your shoulder from time to time on different forums ... enjoy your openness ...and witticism!
Being of a more timid nature than you, I hide behind my floating cloud way up in the sky, and smile at you as you pass by! Lol
I feel that you are one fierce lioness who would protect her cubs with much ferocity if need be with passionate motherly love! ... and rightfully so!
That cute little devil, 5 year old son of yours is going to be one hell of a lady killer, when he grows up! Ha ha!
Just think when he starts introducing you to his dates ... This is my ma ... the other woman in my life and you better be good to her ...or else ...Lol!... Smile! JimEee
well yes i think u should u would get a chance to see a rection for ur date to see if she is in to the whole kid thing i would not date a person or see a person that did not like my 2 wonderful kids even tho they cant talk yet so yes i think u should tell em u have children
