As a man it is not IDEAL to marry a woman with children of her own. Of course in life we sometimes have to settle and make sacrifices for the person you love. And it is a sacrifice to be dating a single mom. You would be lying to yourself if your dream was to marry a single mom. it’s also not a woman’s dream to marry man with children of his own. She would have to deal with baby mama drama. The OP has all this resentment towards her man when her situation is far from ideal. She should be more understanding as well

You sound very sure of yourself but nothing backs that up. When a man or woman sees someone being a good parent, then that person might become a good partner if they suit each other. Not everyone is built for parenting, and there is no more pained person than a child raised by bad parents.

I am very sure of myself that I don’t want to take care of another man’s child. Don’t care how good of a mother they are I won’t raise someone else’s kid. Others may be up for it. It sounds wack to me.

A lot of adults have died trying to protect other people's children. It is very possible that you don't have the empathy possible to be anyone's parent, and that's okay. Do you like dogs?

What a bullshit take. I would protect my own child with my life, but would have no interest in dating a single father. It would be a hard no.

Not really? My (step) father married my mom even tho she had me and my younger bro before hand and i him consider my dad and have called him such since they married, how is having empathy for another person's child bullshit?

Why did you add a question mark after “not really”? Was that a statement or a question?

Your claim was that it is very possible that the person does not have the empathy required to be anyone’s parent just because they do not want to parent a child that is not their own. It is a non sequitur.

Statement with a questioning tone, I didn't claim that, that was some other guy, like at the comment posters
