Colbert At U.Va.: You Owe The Previous Generation Nothing
Teens Among 3 Killed, 8 Hurt In Overnight Gun Violence…
OPK's (Other People's Kids): I'm dating a guy with a kid from his previous relationship. I always told myself I wouldn't get involved with someone who had baggage, because I don't care for baby mama drama, but he is an incredible man. Should I make this exception since I won't really be a full-time parent?

Men date women with kids...why should it be any different the other way around?

I'd never, and simply just don't date any women with kids! Not under any circumstances! No exceptions!

I am a female with no kids, and the guys that I've dated lately have kids. It is not the kids I have a problem with, per say, but the baby mama drama and lack of time the guy has. It's strange because I respect a man that plays an active role in his kids' lives, but at the same time, that means less time he has to spend with me. Would I prefer a man that is childless? Yes, but that may mean I would have to give him kids, and I don't know if that is what I want to do. It can get very, very frustrating when you ask the guy you're dating if you can go to a concert or away for the weekend when he responds it's "his weekend to have the kids"! What's a childless girl to do?

This is a major issue for me because I also have no kids and men with children are a major turn off for me because of the baby mama drama. If I am coming into a relaitonship without kids, why can't the man do the same. I know things happen in life, but mostly I believe it's an irresponsibility when you have kids in these days because there is too much on the market not too. My friends say I am missing out but I think the man is missing out with me. If you are divorced that's a different story, but if you just have kids everywhere, I take issue with that.

NO, because you know they all have different mothers! LOL
Kudos, if he is taking care of them. But if I don't have any kids, I wouldn't date a man with kids.
BUT, if I did have kids and a man didn't want to date me...no sweat, at the end of the day I will choose my kids over any man.

Answer is VERY simple. Mature men don't have a problem with women who have children and have their stuff together. Mature women don't have a problem with men who have children and have their stuff together. I know people from both categories. If it was easy, anybody could do it.

In most instances it's not good 2 date a man with kids. But good luck on finding one that doesn't have any. Several questions come to mind; Why isn't he still with the kid's mother? how many kids does he have (several different mothers equate trouble)? Does he take responsibility and pay child support (in which case he's going 2 B broke as hell), why hasn't he married the kid's mother?
