    So you just met a top girl liked her a lot then she drops the "bombshell"

    "By the way just so you know i have a kid"

    Firstly, Im way past it im happily settled, but why the big deal? I dated over the years many a girl that had a kid, single mothers, I kinda admired them. Very strong characters. When ever i told my mates she had a kid there would be a big "REALLY WHAT AGE??" JASSS MAN YA DONT NEEED THAT"

    Is this still an issue in 2011 ? I really dontn see the big deal!

    Wouldn't bother me anyways. The last slapper I was with had a child. Cool little chap

    My missus has a kid. With her over a year now and needless to say, both of them are a rather significant part of my life now. I've been a bit strange about it once or twice down the line, but then realised it's not a big deal at all. The little chap is full of character, it'll be fun watching him grow up.

    Yes bail out. It's bad enough when their your own.

    Unless you're prepared for the "you're not my daddy" speech when their stones start dropping.

    I don't see what the problem would be unless she was looking for another father for junior !

    the ex boyfriend calling around can cause a bit of an issue though!

    If you like her, keep inviting her out, and if the two of you get on well enough, the kid won't be a problem.

    Most kids are cool.

    I don't see the bother with it.

    Mmmm, years back I went out with 3 ladies over the course of a few months, all three of them had kids, it was well weird to be honest. I was quite keen on one of them but she wasn't so keen on me :( So the little ones weren't an issue to me, in saying that I never met them or anything. The other two ladies it turned out that I wasn't really into them (one of them was a lapdancer :pac:) so the kids didn't bother me either.

    Recently I met a lady that has two kids, to be honest I just don't want to get involved, life can be enough of a ball ache without further complications at the mo, my fault, not the lady in question :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    Works both ways. I have met a few girls down the years that changed their attitude towards me when I tell them I am a single parent.

    On the other hand I have met a few who see me with my kid and assume that I am a good catch because I love my child.:confused:

    Too right. And they cost a lot, even if you just buy him toys etc now and again to keep him onside.

    By the way, how long were ye seeing each other before she said it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,018 ✭✭✭Mike 1972


    As one gets older the chances of finding someone around ones own age group without kids are inevitably going to diminish anyway.

    a lad on take me out just mentioned he had a three year old and the lights went out fairly lively.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving


    Usually the kids aren't the problem, it's the dodgy relationship with the mum/dad of the kid that can cause problems.

    My mate is going out with a guy with a child and his ex made it really difficult for her at the start, with holding access of the child and all sorts of ridiculous antics. I know this isn't always the case but it does happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 760 ✭✭✭seafood dunleavy


    Better than saying she had a cock.

    What's wrong with cocks?
    I've had one for 18 years and it hasn't caused me any problems as of yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭Sanjuro


    Sorry, what's the issue here?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    Wouldnt bother me unless she had like 4 kids by 3 fathers or something untoward like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,724 ✭✭✭tallaghtmick

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    Different strokes for different folks. Some people just wouldn't wanna date someone with a kid, that's fine, regardless of what year it is. Personally, I can't ever imagine myself wanting to have a relationship with someone who already had a child. It isn't that I dislike children, or that I have a problem with single parents, it simply isn't something that appeals to me.

    If I had a choice, I would be pretty turned off by the thought of a prospective partner already having a kid. But then again I'm only 22 and dont wanna be weekend-mammy to someone elses child.
    That said, one of my good single friends has a baby and he's a fantastic daddy which is a really attractive quality. I think it depends on the person, it would be more the relations between the two parents/exes that would determine it for me if I really liked somebody.

    Why, are you riding her sister/mother/father/dog?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    Been there, done that X 3.

    It has its merits but it can be a pain in the ass too. Interfering exes, babysitting issues, etc. As an earlier poster said there's enough hassle in life without adding too it.

    Met my current woman, now fiancee, soon to be wife over 3 years back. I was 32 and her 35 at the time - neither of us has kids which is kinda unusual at our age but good for us both.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    I have never wanted, nor do i ever want kids.

    I'd just explain to her that it's not within my 5 point life plan to have a child (It actual directly contravenes point 3 - "Never have a child" ).

    You don't owe someone a relationship just because you bumped uglies.

    being a good father is a turn on for women don't ya know?
    But being a good mother isn't as big of a deal because women are just expected to be maternal.

    It's a bit like the Chris Rock sketch isn't it? We are supposed to be good fathers! It shouldn't be seen as an extra.

    I've dated 2 single parents, fantastic girls. The child was never a bother, just wasn't ready to move to the really serious stage.

    I've a son myself so I suppose I wont see it as an obstacle.

    Ride her, then tell her to get her stuff and get out and lie there with satisfied grin arms behind the head as she clothes completely humiliated and shows herself out

    I've had one for 18 years and it hasn't caused me any problems as of yet.

    It would be a problem if it was up your hole.
