Topic: What do you prefer? | |

for me, it doesnt matter if they had been married or not, but id like them to have kids only because then they can understand better if something comes up because of the kids and hopefully they will understand more Do you think that someone without kids just won't understand at all? |

I'd say no kids, no animals, won't have as deep of an understanding. No kids in general, I'd disagree with. I may not have kids, but having had animals, that meant more to me then $$$, I can say there's plenty of things that I've had to do that parents have had to do with their kids. Sitting up all night, nursing a sick animal, is similar to a child, except the animal isn't telling you what's wrong. And before anyone jumps me for this, I've had plenty of back up from both parents of kids AND animals. They're in total agreement. |

I'm just trying to understand people's way of thinking. I dated a man once who (it seemed) was less concerned with spending time with his son than I was for them to spend time together. I, on the other hand, am very involved in my neices' and nephew's lives and would hope whoever was interested in me would understand. So, you never can tell and should take some time to know the person first. |

When you're looking for someone to date, do you look for someone who has been married before? Or someone who has never been married? What about kids? Do you prefer they already have kids? Or no kids? Do these things even matter to you? I don't really worry about that stuff at first. I just look for sparks. Later it only matters if her kids are brats or her ex is still some kind of issue. |

My kids are brats! So is that why I haven't heard from you? |

Whether they've carried a piece of paper in the past or not is inconsequential. Whether they have living, breathing, dependent, small children, however, is extremely consequential. I'm almost done my tour of duty. I'm looking forward to adult fun in the second half of my life, not coloring crayons in the drier and crawling through those claustrophobic little tubes that end in a ball pit. For a day with grandkids is one thing, but on a daily basis? No thanks.
Is it shallow and selfish? Maybe, but I don't care. I never claimed to be perfect. |

I just prefer his kids are no younger than mine..I don't really want to raise any more children. My boys are grown up and I'm done with all that.

Makes no difference, assuming (of course) that she's not currently married. What about kids? Do you prefer they already have kids? Or no kids? Do these things even matter to you? THAT one does! |

I have no preference either way. As long as drama isn't behind it....it doesn't matter to me

So, you never can tell and should take some time to know the person first. Good point. Even if you don't have your own kids, you may have others around, such as nieces and nephews that you spend a lot of time with. |

Maybe they have bad parenting skills with their own children, maybe they are selfish etc, etc. |
