Really, as someone else mentioned, it would depend on how the man's relationship with the kids turns out. If he can connect with the kids and they get along well together, it obviously would make the whole thing much simpler. I think a lot of guys would be intimidated by the complexity of the situation, but many are willing to give it a try if they are really attracted to you.

Oh, and the number of kids makes a difference, too. One child - not that bad. Two children - a little complicated but still very doable. Up to four children and I think you can expect that to be a fairly intimidating prospect for many men - the financial needs would come to mind immediately (education, clothing, food, sports, college, etc). But I'm sure there are men out there who would be willing.

Honestly it depends on the mother and the kids. I have dated women whose kids have been wonderful, but the woman herself was not. I have also dated women who were great and the kids were great. I was also raised by a single mother. I can honestly say that no woman should ever consider themselves or be considered as "used goods". As to the reason for the divorce or break up: we shouldn't judge on things we don't know about. There can be many reasons for it, and none of them are the woman's fault or if it is there is always forgiveness and learning. God Himself can forgive anything, and He doesn't hold it against us even when we hold it against ourselves. So yeah I have no problems dating a woman with kids. They and their kids deserve to be loved and adored just like the rest of us.

I know I'm a lady and obviously I would date a man. But I thought I'd tell you that personally I wouldn't mind dating a man with kids...even if he has full custody. I actually think I would prefer it if he had full custody...that way I could adopt them as my own too and raise them the way I would want with my husband.

If a man falls in love with you, there will be nothing that keeps him away. :)

My dear sister in Christ, from your post you seem to be a beautiful woman inside out! We are so privileged to have been adopted by Christ as His children and to be loved by Him. I am so sorry that you had to go through abuse and abandonment from your husband. But I am sure that in the past five years, you have seen the hand of our gracious Lord more than ever before. I pray for God's guidance and wisdom for you as you wait on Him for a life partner. Please go through these videos that may be of some help to you.

We can find rest in God's word! I will be praying for your future!

This is actually what happened to my piano.

My niece and nephew liked to beat up on it by being too rough with it. I would get mad and tell them not to play with my piano. And my family would get mad at me and tell me not to be so mean to the kids and let them play with it. So finally, I did. They broke several keys, got a penny stuck between another two, and it never worked right again.

I guess I should have gotten a little meaner : / I love my niece and nephew, but they obviously werent old enough to understand how to treat an instrument. I dont think I was in the wrong for telling them no. But apparently Im wrong : p
