Jaysus, personally speaking as I have kids, I'm not looking for a father for them as they have one and a good one at that.

Even if I didn't have kids meeting someone with kids wouldn't put me off as I certainly wouldn't be looking to mother them as they would have a mother.

Kids shouldn't come into the equation until the relationship is rock solid and going somewhere.

Well, I've 2 kids, but that doesn't mean I'm staying celibate 'til they both turn 18...

I don't expect a woman to come into the house and have to start playing mommy to them, but whoever I meet needs to know I'm not going to lock them out the back in the coal shed while she's around... grin grin

A woman who happens to be a single parent isn't looking for a "new" father for her kids, nor is the man looking for a woman to play mummy to his??? each person has there own baggage of some degree or another.. be it Kids or something else.... Each individual person comes as a package.... if you dont like like whats in the package then thats your choice and could possibly be your loss... JMO

Impossible not to take it into consideration, as some women say, they have a father for their kids and are not looking for another one.

I have met a few women who are looking for a father for their kids and that does bring a serious responsibility with it. I have been in a relationship like this and when the break-up came i was not just breaking up with the woman but her children as well, double whammy!

Good thread and something that bears discussion for lots of peoplethumbs up

He has respected your opinion and given his opinion. why don't you answer him and tell us why you feel this way?

It would not stop me from falling for someone in the least, but I would take the fact that there are kids on board seriously and part of the equation.

Putting it simply, It is very easy to get really attached to a partners kids and if a break-up ensues the loss of the kids hurts as well. still worth the risk though with the right person.

To be honest, it terrifies me rather than being a turn off. I tell myself that getting to know the kids would be an eventual development of the relationship but I do question my own maturity and fear the lack would cause emotional hurt to the kids.
