Avoid dating a man with kids
If you are a single woman without any kids, should you date a man with kids? If you want to get serious and marry someday, it is best to avoid the man who has already been to the circus. He is not looking for wifey #2. You will never be their mom, and you will never be his wife. Find a single guy to marry and have your own kids together. Take it from someone who knows. | | | | | | Anonymous

I can't believe this tip got posted. What a disgusting generalization of men with children!

Wow, how prejudiced. I'd have to say this qualifies more as a bigoted slam than a tip. Such generalizations are damaging to the progress humanity has made over the past 50 years.

Wow, this is unreal. How offensive. Why was this even published? I don't see "tips" railing against women with kids. What this really a fair thing to post? I don't think so.

"Daytipper strives to be a site that is 100% safe for the entire family"

Although this tip is interesting and am not qualified to comment on it, the tip comes under relationship, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.. you are not going to find household tips here.. but this tip is a bit sensitive as the others above rightly pointed out..

Even if this tip IS under relationships, it should be a tip that is NOT offensive, ignorant or downright vindictive "Take it from someone who knows" she says...C'mon, this dudette is just using Daytipper to vent a sour relationship, wounded ego and her own lack of maturity. And she got paid to boot!

This is an ignorant tip! I can't believe this person, most likely a woman, is ranting about a man who has other responsibilites than to spend all his time with her. Grow up!

Obviously you were burned in a relationship, but it is very unfair to generalize. Are you saying that if someone has kids and gets divorce then that should be it for them? That they should never be allowed a chance at a love/relationship again? That seems a bit harsh and unfair.

Also, it seems that you are implying a man who has the majority of custody over his kids. This would generally mean that he is at least somewhat responsible and definitely capable of caring about someone other than himself. I hope that you are able to find someone that does not burn you again, but I also hope that no one uses this tip.

I couldn't help but notice that this tip was posted as 'Anonymous'. I'm always leery of utilizing a tip that a person can readily disown. I agree that this person sounds hurt and soured on relationships, but I doubt seriously that Daytipper can provide her the help she needs to heal.

Boy, others sure don't like your tip! LOL! Even though I'm in a relationship with a man with children, and will be marrying him (he actually WANTED "wifey #2"), I completely agree. I love him and his children, but have definitely found our relationship to have many more issues (mostly regarding his ex-wife). For all of those who are still single, you can't help who you fall in love with, but finding a childless man is (potentially) a lot simpler.

Not looking for wife #2? Then why are second, third, fourth marriages so common? You don't need to be the childrens' mother, you can just have some nice kids in your life!

I'm single, but I know someone who went through what you just said. Sure, it sounds prejudice, but in some cases it is true.

What a selfish and stupid thing to say. My father married my mother when she had already had my brother from her first husband. I would not be here if they had not gotten married. I would say if you had a relationship like this that did not go well, maybe you should look inside yourself for why.

Yep, surprised this was even "published", considering I, myself have submitted MANY good tips. This tip, however, is pathetic! TIP? Maybe, just not for the majority of the world. SORRY. And, to the publisher of this "TIP", I am sorry that you feel this way! I am sad for you. I will pray for you!

Clearly this "tip" was either a publishing mistake or an intentional ploy to generate comments..because beyond that it is an utterly ridiculous statement of opinion and should be deleted immediately.

I really can't believe they posted this. There are lots of great guys who have kids. boyfriends should not be chosen for there kids or lack there of. I am appalled by this topic!

I used to feel that way when I was in college with no kids. I felt that if I didn't have kids I wouldn't relate to someone who had them. I then married, had a baby, then divorced. I ended up with a guy who had a kid and felt very uncomfortable dating guys without them because of how I felt when I was childless. I however do feel this tip was ignorant because the whole wife #2 thing is false. I just believe each individual should know what they can deal with in any stage of their life.

I'm a woman with no kids who is dating a man who has 2 kids. I can definitely see where this person is coming from because this man won't committ. We've been together 2 1/2 years and because he was in such a bad divorce he won't committ to me. I guess because of being afraid. I'm going to make the decision soon whether to stay with him or leave because having never been married I'd like to experience that. I may be wasting my time just WAITING!!!

I completely disagree. I started dating a man who had a 2 year old and he asked me to marry him after 6 months of dating. We've been married for 5 years and I have a great relationship wtih both his ex girlfriend and his daughter who is now 8. She started calling me mom out of the blue when she was 4.

This is not right .. it’s fact that many couples find they are more mature, more reliable and can be experienced

This is BS. ok my biological mother died of brain cancer. my dad was now on his own to support my brother and i. Your saying my dad should have never had a chance in another relationship. How the heck would my father have supported us. This "tip" is so ignorant.

I think this is a great tip. I try to tell my friends to avoid men with kids and they don't listen and end up miserable. For me, I just don't want to share my mate with rugrats. I don't want kids- his, mine or ours.

I am being pursued by a man with 2 little girls. although he is a decent, and very romantic man, i must confess, i am being very careful about this one. I am going to sound selfish, but i don't care to win over his daughters. I am dating him, not his family. Hence, my hesitation. I will have to think things thoroughly and carefully. By the way, i am not looking to get married either. I am happily single.

I must say, I agree with this tip. I have dated a man for a year and although he has proposed to me, I am in NO hurry to marry into his divorced with full custody of one child family. The ex is psycho and went to jail, as he had to run for his life. Not really looking forward to incorporating that type of person into the relationship, as he apparently still lets her see the child. ??Too much drama!

get your own husband.... men with children will put you on the shelf until its convenient for them to take your down (that's abuse)... divorced men w/kids are abusive and selfish... its their kids, their ex, their problems, their life (period)...

continued from last post... no one is ever really an ex... a divorced man is in a never ending relationship with his ex... and, dont lie to yourself there's feelings there.... what your doing is living someone else's life, and that's why alot of woman become frustrated (they cant figure out why?) your a third wheel... sorry but true
