[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that someone who is okay with you having a young kid might also have a young kid. The last thing I'd want is to date a man with children still living at home. I did it once. He had a 16-yr-old and a 21-yr-old. Both daughters. His ex-wife was all up in his business since they still had raising the kids in common. And his ex was a hot mess. (Lots of skanky boyfriends and would move in with these random men and then get kicked out.) They both indulged their kids in ways that I would never tolerate. (Didn't insist on college in exchange for living expenses post-HS and didn't insist on decent grades from the one still in HS.)

I ended up with a man who has kids from a prior marriage. His ex is also a hot mess. But his two sons are very normal and successful adults who are fully launched and have young families of their own now. My DC really enjoys him being in our lives. He is a resource to my DC (career and school advice) but doesn't try to tell him how to live his life.

My advice is to wait until your kids are away at college. [/quote]
