    Ok after hours , heres a question..
    Friend of mine is 23 and has one child from a previous relationship.
    She says she finds it really hard to meet a man who would consider having a relationship with her because of the child. She's a gorgeous girl with a fantastic personality , would you think twice about going out with a girl that already had a baby ? or is she just not looking in the right places :)

    Perhaps you should be worrying about the "you're not my daddy" speech you'll get when said kids balls start to drop

    been in relationships with women who have had 1 to 3 kids, great craic, and you get to bypass the first few years of sleepless nights and crying kids all the time!!

    If I was to go out with a woman who has a kid, I wouldn't base my desicion on her having the kid, it'd be more likely in regards to how responsible she is and the relationship she holds with the kid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Absolutely not.

    Hang on, I married a woman last year who already had 2 kids. So, maybe I would. I'd have to get divorced first. So no. Or then again, maybe I'd...

    Hang on, did you say 23?

    Welcome to After hours.

    You do realise this is the girl who answered to PICs or GTFO right?

    and just in case you're not sure how she answered...

    ...she's still here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭xxchloexx


    It's just because when we go out together men do approach us , as soon as she tells them sh has a child , they seem to make a bee line for the door.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Sisko


    I just simply am not mature enough. Not a problem really as a girl with a kid wouldn't go near an immature bloke by default .

    Why does she volunteer that information so quickly. Sounds like she is the one who has the problem with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,137 ✭✭✭Balfie


    Send her my way... haha


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭xxchloexx


    she doesn't just blurt it out , it would come out in conversation , "have you been here before" "not in a long time but finally got a baby sitter tonight" that sort of thing. She has a key king with a picture of the child on it to , one them once said "who's the baby?" "mine..." ...............................

    look. men are children, more so nowadays, until they're in their late 40/ 50.s so no, until they reach the age of 'dont care no mo'. (i mean maturity) :D

    I like babies, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

    Well it would depend. If a guy is looking for a serious relationship then the fact that she has a kid would mean, if things go well in the relationship and they move in together he is instantly going to become a de-facto father to the kid. Not everyone looking for a relationship is ready for kids at that point in their life.

    If he is just looking for a bit of fun then it wouldn't really come into it but from my experience most (not all obviously) women with kid(s) tend to be looking for more than a bit of sex and partying from a relationship.

    There is also the issue of the kids father. Lots of mothers get back with the fathers of their children so that could put the kibosh on the option of either a serious or a casual relationship.

    Personally I wouldn't enter a relationship with a women with a kid, not at this stage in my life. But if she was just looking for something casual I would have no problem, I just don't think that is the case with many mothers.

    That sounds to me like a big "I'm taken" hintedy hint hint to be honest


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,137 ✭✭✭Balfie


    Honestly.. I've never had a problem with women that have babys. Ive dated a few that have had kids, not all guys are like that tho, It wouldnt bother me to date a girl with a baby, just cause a girl has a baby doesnt mean that she still cant live her life. and women that are left sitting there feeling rejected cause guys dont want them cause they have a baby is horrible. maybe if more men took the responsibility of their children and didnt leave it to the mother all the time, things like that wouldnt happen, but alot of men are pricks and just abandon the woman when they hear the word pregnant..

    Maybe she left him and took the kid?

    Would your friend have problem going with a man who has a child? if not she can pm me ;)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,229 ✭✭✭sesna


    Nothing worse than having your Sunday morning hangover interrupted by some screaming kid. And its not even yours :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    maybe she's just interested in the wrong type of guy :(

    She'll find someone eventually, if she's enough of a milf.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 949 ✭✭✭maxxie


    least ya know shes up for it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,487 ✭✭✭aDeener


    i'd give her a rattle but i wouldn't go out with her


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭xxchloexx


    Bit of background info , she was in a reationship for 3 years , had the baby when she was 21 , he stuck around for a year and then decided he wanted to move to america.. he hasn't contacted her since about the child. His family ignore her and wont tell her where he is gone or give her a phone number for him. Its the little boy i feel sorry for , just being left there .. but she is a great parent and very mature. He wasn't ready to settle down. Shes in college studying law at the moment and working part time trying to not fall into the usual single mother role of living off the government. So its not as if she is one of these Vicky Pollard types...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Sisko


    I don't think anyone assumed she was?

    or a detailed outline of her spiritual/ emotional / psychological self?

    actually scrap that - a pic will do :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    she'll find the right guy when she's least expecting it:)

    nice girls always do

    usually almost immediately before they meet me :confused:

    Yes, but I'd have to eat her young and then mate with her immediately.

    No. I wouldn't even think once about it.

    Considering im 20 and have no kids , nor do i plan on having kids , your little smart comment is really stupid. Cop on.. If i was talking about me i would be mature enough to say "why cant i find a decent bloke" i wouldn't have to hide behind a fake story about a friend. Im not that stupid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 622 ✭✭✭Corkblowin


    The only problem with her that I see is her age - a good looking 23 year old will be mainly interested in guys of 20-30, but I know for myself that at 27 I would not have been too keen on having a 2 year old to look after - barely could look after myself.

    But then went out with a girl last year who had a 3 year old boy, and I have to say i fell for her more when I saw how she was with him, and I became really attached to the little man....gutted when we broke up! Miss him more at this stage!

    Don't think I've got the hang of the after-hours forum....... :pac:

    The comment wasn't really stupid.

    Tell your friend to get out and do other things. Looking for a serious relationship in a pub or a club wouldn't be the best way to go about things in my opinion.
