I have always gotten along with children, myself,
and when asked, always says so, but there are children
and children. One hears horror stories, sometimes
even ones told by mothes, like cutelildevilmom's
stories of her cutelildevil who is a lildevil. I think
it would be wise to meet the kids to be sure, but
in general there are people who don't like kids and
people who do, I do.

children don't scare me off as I adore them..but the idea of dating someone and eventually getting serious then takin on the responsibilities of raising their children with them is a little frightening but if I really like someone its not goign to stop me from persuing a relationship

lol dpw, ja, he'd definitely give you a skull job, and not the kind you fellas like!

I love children, and the responsibility of taking on more doesn't scare me at all. I am realistic about potential problems, and tough enough to handle them. I only have two children, and I'd love more, so I can't help but think a single dad would be a real plus for me.

Sorry, just wanted to clarify. I was speaking about pre-teenage children. I dated one woman who had a teenage son and we got along great!

For what it's worth, my attitude has always been to keep an open heart and open mind; if one loves the woman who happens to have children, they are part of her; one cannot restrick Love; sadly it has never been the othe other way around; mere mention of my having children has always abruptely ended any conversations.

I love kids, help raised two step kids for 10 years, it wasn't easy, love them as I was their mom. Have two of my own, teen ages, really good kids. My son says is ok as long as I am happy, never bring anybody home yet, my son (13) is very protective and always looking out for me. My daughter (15) is a little reluctant, she told me she is feels jealous, I talked to her and explained that she has nothing to be jealous of and that she always will come first, she seems more accepting.
And as far as accepting someone's kids (very young kids) I really don't know being there done that. Very young kids need a lot of attention and I would like to enjoy my partner and have the freedom and time I didn't have. I prefer his kids are already grown but you, it is very difficult to decide when you find that guy you are looking for all your life and then turn him down, if I know myself and if he is all I want, knowing myself I would probably accept his kids. I just can’t predict the future.
