I feel like I could possibly miss a chance at meeting an incredible woman someday with the perspective of not dating someone with children. I think it's a risk I would take though. There is too much history and too many things that I feel I could not handle in that situation.


I want a fresh slate with a woman. I feel like I would have too many reservations and not allow myself to divulge into a relationship of that kind. Maybe it is the wrong decision to make, but I am willing to stick to my guns on this one.

Children. That is a subject in which stands to be a difficult one. Meaning only this, it is not the child you are dating. Children are meant to be considered with a full, protective heart for they are the innocent ones.

If you are having difficult in deciding on a date because they have children, then it may be that they are not ready for you, or you for them.

The real answer to this question is, "Are you ready"? If the sparks fly, you find yourself smiling and desiring to be with the mother/father who has raised the beat of your heart, then and only then shall the children be a matter to the both of you.

Children have to deal with their world in an upside down view when they see their world changing and one parent is not there for them, or a parent who is absent in their home. It is what they began with and what they believed to be right. And no longer is. What of their hearts pain?

I raised two beautiful daughters as a single dad and that was not an easy task. Many challenges are there for us as single parents, and they are not easy when you so deeply desire to have what is missing as the other half to share the joys, the anguish, the dreams and all the tears from the mending that becomes a part of going the next step.

There is so much more to consider when children are a major part of dreams desired by us as parents. We are the ones they look up to and it is we who they depend on in doing what is right. That leaves us in another issue. The protective shield we place over our hearts. I'm sure you all know what I mean on this one. (Hint) The ones who use our children and the love we have for them as a tool of deceit.

Many Blessings,
SpiritWolf

A woman with children will always choose them over her lover no matter how unreasonable the children's demands are. They are her blood and I'm just some guy she met in a bar.

That is not necessarily true TS...2 of my 3 boys are adults, the 3rd barely under age. They are independent because they have had to be. They don't interrupt my life for their silly whims. They don't make demands on me because I have never made demands on them. The only time they intervene in my personal life is if I ask. I don't put myself in situations where they need to protect me...it is good to know they are there for that reason should I ever need it. Each of them would love for me to find a man that I would be happy with. I'm sure it would give them relief of not having to worry about me.

I was really talking about women with younger children. But, you make a valid point.
