hubbarddebra99 View Profile History	Dating A Woman w/ Kids (school aged) Posted : 4 Jan, 2011 12:16 PM mean as it sounds, i don't want to date anyone with kids any younger than 13! Because, I've raised my kids, am a Grandma, and have worked with kids everyday. (AND WILL AGAIN, PRAISE GOD!) but that being said, it's nice to love on the kids and at fivePM Send Them Home!

View Profile History	Dating A Woman w/ Kids (school aged) Posted : 4 Jan, 2011 12:43 PM I would not say or ask anything until the relationship starts to turn the corner of 'this might really work'. By then if you have used your powers of observation, you will know if you want to continue around that corner or know which questions to ask. Post Reply
View Profile History	Dating A Woman w/ Kids (school aged) Posted : 5 Jan, 2011 05:55 AM I would have no questions because for me , I prefer to date a woman with no kids at all. I have no children and would prefer to start a relationship with someone who will share the experience of having a child for the first time with me. Why waste her time and mine when I already know what I want? chevy Post Reply
stormcountry33 View Profile History	Dating A Woman w/ Kids (school aged) Posted : 5 Jan, 2011 07:14 AM I would be interested to know whether or not the children shared one father or if there were multiple men involved. Also, yes I would like to know just how involved the father/s are with his children. I would want to know this just to know how much communication and interaciton she has with her ex...I do believe that a good father should be allowed to be involved in his children's lives but I guess I'd like to know fully how she feels about her ex.

View Profile History	Dating A Woman w/ Kids (school aged) Posted : 5 Jan, 2011 10:46 AM With single mother's I'm far more interested in who they are as a person now and what they do for fun or to make themselves happy. Non-rhetorical question: Are there things we should be wanting to know or be asking? Post Reply
View Profile History	Dating A Woman w/ Kids (school aged) Posted : 6 Jan, 2011 07:15 AM Well if I found out a woman had children that I wanted to date. I'd have 2 sets of questions 1 set for the early dates, then a second set if the relationship looked like I might want to marry her. 1st set. What things does she like to do with her kids? Play family games, go to lake, spend time with them in activitys like sports, go to zoo etc etc.... Reason I'd ask these questions is too include them in one of the early dates. I think it is just as important for you to know them and them know you. Unless the mother was totally uncomfortable with this, which would mean too me I doubt this will be permanent relationship. 2nd set. Ask questions concerning things like dispiline, Kids feeling towards their father, example were they abused and scared of a man. I'd ask these questions so it might help me prepare to be a step father, if the Lady said yes to marriage. Post Reply
