What a very good question. Im in a spilt with my children, three of them could care less if I date but my oldest, who is 16, hates the fact that I do and is instantly willing to dislike anyone that I show interest in.
Mind you that his father and I have been apart for 11yrs so I do not believe it is due to a hope that his parents will reunite. Maybe its just teenage hormones or maybe hes just protective..who knows.
But as for the question, I do believe it to be more difficult to date someone whos children object but I dont believe that it would necessarly ruin a relationship as long as you are honest and upformt with the person that you are dating and the child that objects, to let them understand all the emotions involved.
Take the first step and let someone know that you're interested in them. Send a flower, write a message...worse that someone will say is no thank you....well, some won't be that polite...but I think you know what I'm saying.
Take a chance. Put yourself out there and get some attention!!!
I am a nurse and deal with children on a daily basis along with their parent, of varying backgrounds and education levels. I do not see that much difference in children who have parents that are professors or doctors than children of parents that manage the local chain store and work at the gas stations.
I think that it all comes down to...just because you can breed and have an education does not mean that you will be a good parent. It all comes down to how much time and energy a parent is willing to give to raising their child, no matter the education level.
Dru.... So sorry to hear that horrifying tale. My you have God spped and a quick recovery. There really are good men out there (even though they are sooo hard to find)
As for my worst dating experience....3 words will sum it up...
HE WAS GAY!!!!
Nothing wrong with that, but come on..don't try to pass yourself off for someone that you're not.
I feel very fortunate with my career, I get to work Monday to Friday with weekends and holidays off. It wasn't always that way though.
I have spent many holidays away from home but manage to make the best of them no matter where I am. I am just very thankful that I have a family to return home to. So many people out there don't...
