I have nothing against women w/kids I really don't but that isn't the life I'm looking at for me. I'm 34 and will be 35 in April, I'm still trying to put my life in order and find some perspective to it.
Here the thing though there are so many different factors involved when you decide to take on the responsibility of dealing with a woman with kid(s) though:
How well behaved or disciplined are the kid(s)?
What is the parenting situation like between the parents?
Are you willing to take care of the child if some emergency comes up?
Can you put the kid(s) needs before your own?
These are the questions that a man needs to figure out before he decides that he is willing to go any further with said woman. Tbh, if her kids aren't under control or if she's involved in a dysfunctional situation with the baby's father where he wants to act stupid when another guy comes around, beefing with the mother, or in & out of jail those are automatic deal breakers and no-goes. I'm not saying that all women with kids are like this but, you have a lot of young mothers out here that don't have their business in order.
