Dating A MAN With Kids: 7 Things To Be AWARE Of

View Comments

• Being a woman that does not have children dating a man with children is one of the hardest things to do and one of the most heartbreaking experiences.

  • @@emski5156 I’m not sure I ever bounced back. Nor did I ever “handle it” you have no control or power in those situations. You just stay or go.

  • Yep. Never, ever again! Life's too short for that awful mess 👀

  • Sorry you had a bad experience. How did you handle it, to minimise your hurt? Sending hugs X

• Never have I introduced man to my kids who I truly didn’t believe I could create life with, and if the man I’m with isn’t showing up as a father to his kids by regularly spending time with them and financially supporting them, no way I would consider such relationships.
  There are truly some amazing single fathers out there, who truly step up after their divorce, healed and are much better version of what they were in their previous relationships but as women we also have to heal and know exactly what type of relationship we desire before cutting such man from the start because we might just say no to some amazing men.
  I also found single fathers having a lot more life experiences and know how to deal with life difficulties a lot better then single guys, at the end of the day life lessons are what creates better and stronger, more resilient you if you’re willing to learn from it.

• My mom’s college boyfriend started dating her when I was 1 year old baby and my sister was 4. We are so close now and the bond we share is sacred. He never had kids. God placed us into each other’s lives. Grateful he could still see my mother to love her. He got more love than he originally bargained for. ❤

• Never again will I date a man with kids! I have PTSD from the screwed up, jealous daughters & the manipulative ex wife. I don't need more wrinkles, thanks! I keep my life peaceful now 🙏🏼✨💝

• I just ended things with a man with 3 kids, which I dated (mostly long distance) for a little over 1 year. We got together while he was going through a divorce and now, after a year dating, he tells me he needs to be alone, to focus on his kids and work and to fully heal and recover from his past relationship traumas.
  I naively thought he was the one...but well, it didn't work, but at least I now know what not to do next time...

• At 26 years old, I’m definitely avoiding dating men with children. I want to live child-free and possibly permanently in the future. I don’t want to be with a man with children no matter what and feel like it’s an unfair to childless women when there’s so many men (the ones with children included) who treat women with children like they’re last pick.

  • You are very clever 😀

• When I was younger and just starting out in the world I didn't date men with kids. I didn't want to deal with the possibility of baby-mama-drama. Just being honest...However, now that I'm older, single again and have a grown child my mindset has changed and is open to it. I think it's safe to say, the older a person is when dating chances are someone may have kids, possibly multiple kids by multiple people. I think if the love is there and boundaries are set it could work! Thanks for sharing this video. It's very helpful.

• I have a son myself but I would not want to date a man with any type of drama, child support, court orders, etc because I don’t have that in my life and trust me it can be a headache. He would have to have a really good relationship with his child’s mother and he is a great father and have a good character as a man and father.

• My mom always said never date a man with kids under 5. Typically mom is not over dad and dad is not over mom.

  • @@giovannabrown396 But does any man seek out a woman with a bunch of kids? I think not 🤔

  • Having kids should not beca barrirr to having healthy relationships . The issue is not the kids but the adult who isn’t capable of managing both in a way that doesnt affect each other . I am a single mum with young kids and not once have I been told by a guy that my kids were affecting the relationship. I think it depends on the adult involved . The key is prioritising both .

  • She should have said: don't date a man with kids, even if they are 19years old. Especially if they are daughters 👀

• I don’t have kids, my man has 2 kids 2 mothers and he is actively in his children’s lives spite having a rough childhood himself with absent parents. I am not in his way of parenting and he COMMUNICATES with me. Dating a man with kids is possible. It’s not for everyone, but I am happy at 25 years old and he is 29. 😊❤ God bless all children, relationships, and choices .

  • @@MeetStephanSpeaks Thank you, he plans to get engaged. Do you feel 2 years of knowing each other is too soon for marriage ?

  • How's his ex & all her games though? 🧐

  • The science-emphasis you generated on “ communication “ , the capitalization is very ostentatious!

    You might not even trust your utterance-consider that true , lol

  • I'm in the same boat. No kids of my own, but he has 1. He has a healthy coparenting relationship and he is a great father. I blend right in and it's working out great.

  • 🙌 that is awesome to hear
