There is always someone out there for a wonderful man and father.

Made me smile too. Lots of very functional, blended families out there. My parents divorced, Dad remarried, parents remained friends (amicable divorce after we were all in college), and I gained a whole new family. I love my step-sister like a sister and we have cousins all around the same age and get together often. For me, it's made life much more rich. Just my story.

Honestly, I would not be interested in dating him. If the relationship got serious, I am not interested in taking on responsibility for three more kids. I have one kid. I would definitely be interested in a single dad of one other kid. But three is too many for me.

As a single mother myself, no, I would not date a man with three kids. Even now, I only date men with no kids. It may sound odd but that's just me. By the way, I totally respect a man that doesn't want to date me because I have a child. Everyone has a preference and BS if you say you don't. I just require honesty and for you to be upfront. Don't tell me you have a problem with my having a child a year after we dated... Tell me on the first date.

Would not be interested in the least.

From a poster who weighed in heavily on this question about the single mom in this situation:

No, I, personally, would not be interested in a single man with 3 kids. The last thing I would want to deal with as a never-married person is someone else's baggage and problems. No hyposcrisy here; I think it cuts both ways.

The dad needs to focus on his kids and not his dick, duhhh! So he needs to wait until the kids are out of the house before he decides to date ...

If the mother was dead then maybe.

Not even then. Not interested in being a stepmother, having a blended family, dealing with the kids' grandparents, etc.

Waay too much baggage that I'm not up for.

I'm a single mom fulltime. I would be interested, especially since we would be able to relate about the kid responsibility. Only drawback is how hard it is to schedule time together. Already having trouble scheduling time with divorced dads with kids 50%.

No I wouldnt want the baggage.

Here's a story of a lovely lady...

No. Unless you are a widow. Only a fool would take on being a SM to three kids and is divorced. Let's face the truth, you are looking for a mother for these kids. Good luck.

I'd date him.

..except that I'm a divorced mom with joint custody already involved with a wonderful guy who has shared custody of his kids.


Honestly, a man who takes care of his kids cooperatively with his ex is a good man, and I am more apprehensive about the LACK of joint custody. What happened to mom? I'd want to know, certainly, but would not immediately write this person off.
