Ok your new love interest has a ready made family . . . now what?

Here's a totally different perspective, of course, I'm divorced, 38, with a 9 year old girl and a 7 year old boy. I will only date men who have children. Only men with children understand the committment I have to my kids and only men with children understand that kids ALWAYS come first. The hard part is finding men who are on the same custody schedule... LOL. Whole new dimensions in dating. A Deal Breaker can be that we have our kids on opposite weekends!

Rachel: I think you're being harsh in your statement about condoms and birth control. I have become pregnant on the pill (but miscarried) and I have become pregnant using condoms and foam (hence the 9 year old girl). Luckily, my (now ex) husband was the daddy. I would admire a man more who had made such a mistake and stayed involved in that child's life.

While in college though, a man with a child would probably be a deal breaker, only because I wasn't ready to be a parent then.
