    Ok, was talking to a friend regarding this matter. Here is a question for everyone, would someone having a child/children from a previous relationship;

    a - make you run a thousand miles in the opposite direction.

    b - make you think the person really has to be worth it.

    c - doesn't matter at all.

    Would potential partners with a child/children make you 168 votes

    If I really liked someone, I wouldn't mind if he had a kid.

    Not if I was with a kid, they're to much hassle when im chattin a bird up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,645 ✭✭✭Daemos


    I'd probably be a bit hesitant, but ultimately yes

    Where's the option for pretending to like the kid until you get into her pants?

    Was thinking of putting that in, but thought it was offensive!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    I dont see why not, but rest assured if the kid were to cockblock me, I would not hesitate to punch it in the side of the head.

    :D

    Seriously though, it would make me approach things a lot more cautiously but if they were worth it, I'd give it a go.

    Have dated girls with a kid in the past. Wouldn't date a girl with more than one though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,669 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Depends. I'm young at the moment and have no intention of having children yet. I'd like to wait until i'm older, if I did go out with a woman with a child, then I could become the child's stepfather eventually. But I wouldn't mind to be honest at the right time, i'd have no problem settling down with a woman with a child.

    I'd date them but I wouldn't be too serious about it. I certainly wouldn't consider the person as long-term partner material.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Probably not, would probably stay friends though. By the time I'd find out he had a kid I wouldn't have gotten attached anyway. I might continue dating, but once the kid started getting in the way I'd probs bail.

    I deleted 400 one day.
    I was really bored.

    OT, I've had crushes on two chicks with kids.
    That they had kids didn't bother me at all.
    While spending time with these women, they kids got to know me and they liked me. There was no bother.


























    Or sex. ****ing bitches.

    It would really depend on how much i liked him. Have done in the past.

    It's progress. You'll find out when you finally register.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    Depends really, but if I really like the girl I was going out with, I don't think I'd care if she had a kid... Once we start getting into kids territory is when I might start to draw the line.

    But if a girl I fell in love with did happen to have a child from a past relationship, I don't think it would affect me one way or another, and I'd do my level best to be a good friend and a good parent to the child.

    Age and character of the child would be an important consideration...


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,917 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    A year ago i posted in a similar thread and said no fupping way!!!
    now i'm not so sure mainly because kids are starting to grow on me a bit.

    would still prefer my own though.

    Absolutely. Need to gauge threesome possibilities.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,069 ✭✭✭Gaspode


    Would and did date single mums, and married one in the end. Best thing I ever did.
    Wife and son package deal, cant resist a bargain!
