zoro Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I've been dating this really great person for a while, everything so-far has been going great. She is recently divorced and shares custody of her 4 year old son. I'm single with no children. I've always said that I would never date someone with kids but I've obviously ate my words. Although I've never met the kid, I'm afraid that if our relationship gets deep her son will be an issue. One reason is that she has him on weekends which means we only spend time with eachother during the week. It's really hard for her to get a baby sitter for her son is a hand full ( from what she tells me). My friends tell me there are many other women out there with no kids and why her, she's got baggage. But she's really great and It's too late to bail out, cause I really like her and we have really good going. I just need to know that it's okay to date someone with kids and if there's any one that can relate with some pointers. Link to post Share on other sites
Kat Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I had a 6mth old daughter when I met my partner. We have been together for 2 and a half years now. There are NO issues with dating someone with a child unless you make some. Jut remember you are their friend, not their father and she doesn't have family who can babysit for 3 hours one weekend a month? Link to post Share on other sites
mujer Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 First of all, tell your friends that children are not baggage. Oi. Anyway, as a single person with a child, I can tell you that I've never had a problem. Obviously, my schedule, like hers, is not as free as someone who has no kids, but I still make time for dating and have yet to have a signficant other who has a problem with it. Due to divorce and other things, there are a lot of women and men out there who are single parents. It would be a shame to pass them over without getting to know who they are first. If you like this girl, give it a try. Take it one day at a time, and do not let other people tell you what you should be doing. It sounds like you're pretty taken with her...so just enjoy the time you have together and see where it goes. Link to post Share on other sites
