I know for sure if my sister was 18 -23, I would be upset if she brought a man home who has kids. I wouldn't care if he acquired the kids from being married or not. I feel that 18 is to young to fulfill the role of step parent which she would have to do if they got serious. JMO.

Does it really matter how the person got the kids? I mean, shoudn't the emphasis be on whether or not the person is taking care of his kids? I would rather date a man with 2 kids from 2 different women that is taking care of his kids vs. a man with 2 kids from the same woman who is a dead beat dad. Don't get me wrong, I know there are men who make it their business to try to increase the earth's population and they are definitely the one's to avoid because they are irresponsible. But what about the man who was in 2 different committed relationships which resulted in children. Should we ignore him because of the 2 different BMs?

my children are grown and expect any man I date have the same or none with no plans of having any...

I was at a wedding where the bride-- was about 19-- and was marring a man that was about 20 years older, he had grown children-- and grandchildren

:rolleyes:
