Wow, you don't know when to quit, do you? Why don't you go tend to/advocate for your own baggage

?

When this poster brings the same issue up yet again

And the idiot pot calls the kettle black

Of course and before the first date. Some people don't want to date or be in a relationship with someone with a kid(s).

Should never disclose any personal information for at least 6 months. Keeps things interesting.

Try to casually slip this into conversations from now on. It's strange you don't anyway.

I have in the past, if it comes up naturally. I'm 45, so at that age, it's not unusual to have a child. (or an ex.) I definitely don't hide the fact that I have a child.

If he freaks out, he's clearly not the guy for you.

I would absolutely tell him the first time I meet him. We come as a package deal, and I'm proud of my kids.

This.

It was on my profile. And I mentioned it if I met someone in person who seemed interesting. My now DH told me he had a son before he asked me out romantically. We were acquaintances for a couple months and then became friends before dating.

Admit before the date and save him some money.

How did the date go?

If he's "turned off" because you have a child, he's not the right guy for you. Plus, how awesome will it be when he smiles at you and says, that's great, I love kids! I say drop it in conversation. Like a pp said, you're not confessing to a crime
