women shouldn't have to disclose DNA results with their boyfriend if they suspect that the father might be someone else. If the father is out of the picture it's unfair for that child to be raised by a single mother due to an affair.

You see some dudes get obsessed with it while using terms like "bloodline" and stuff. It's really quite weird

I feel the man should have a right to know. If it's it's deal breaker would she want to be with him anyways?

I could date a woman with kids from another man on two conditions. I either have full rights as a parent or I have no obligations outside financial and maybe a few other things.

Parenting should be a compromise in how you raise them. If it's gonna be her way only I don't want no part of it if she still expects me to be apart of the process. I've seen it ruin more than one relationship. Major one being my mom. Husband wanted her to make the kids mind and do like they are supposed to but he always objected her methods. And it led to major arguments. He always took his kids side. It's not like she was beating them. She tried his way it didn't work.

I already have 4 kids, so when I was dating a mom for 2 years with 2 kids of her own, it was too much for me. We either would have the schedules so there are always kids around (but not much overlap) or there is a goddamn Brady Bunch part of the time. So I decided I wouldn't date someone with kids again, even if I know that is hypocritical. But the problem is simply that I have 4 of them.

My current gf has no kids, thankfully doesn't want her own, and is cool with mine.

Depends on the circumstances in which the genealogy of the child is questioned. If you're a step parent, there should be no issues with raising another man's child. You're there to support your partner. If the child was born from infidelity or suspected infidelity, I feel you have the right to know if the child is yours. It has less to do with the welfare of the child and more to do with the fact that no one likes being cheated on.

What's real fun is when the biological father and his family are complete shit and lie to the kid and instill terrible behaviors in him every other weekend so you're stuck being the bad guy who has to come down on the behaviors he had been getting away with and/or encouraged to do!

Someone woke up and chose violence.

Anyway if I love the mom, Ill try my best to be a good stepfather to their kid and be their friend. The emotional well being of a child is too important to me.

I would say it's often about the cheating (assuming we aren't talking about explicit step children), except that even in cases like e.g. the doctor in the Netflix documentary where he artificially inseminated women with his own sperm instead of their husband's "donation", you still had men who seemed to be like "I'll never look at the person I thought was my child again the same way since they're not related to me".

I took the topic to not be about cheating and such, but dating a single mom with little kids. I guess the topic doesn't state one or the other, but I had a more positive assumption. Honestly, this is part of why I struggle with CE so much at times; so much is worst case scenario here.

Hmm, quite a quandary. Ooh let's see:

- Can't discipline them.
- Not the biological product of one's own bloodline
- baby-daddy drama.
- If you were to have a child with this woman with two or more kids that 'aren't' yours then you'd have to take away resources from your own child to provide for the other two.
- Those other children, in a lot of cases, have their fathers paying child-support, and their fathers are definitely NOT paying for yours while you house their kids.

Not saying that I agree entirely, but these are just a few reasons I could list just from off-top.

Nah that's bullshit. What's really unfair is a man being deceived and putting money and time into having to raise a child that isn't even his. Stop trying to enable ethically dishonest people to take advantage of their partners. For you to even suggest this shows how morally bankrupt you are. Possibly sexist too.

Depends who is at fault.

If the girl is the problem then avoid her.

If the guy is the problem then send some bigger guys to break him up if he has issues with it.

What is so wrong about wanting your own children and not having to deal with all the problems that come with being a step parent ?

Knowing that you wont have baby daddy drama, and not being a second class parent with no power to discipline is a much better option.

Just thought of another one!

- When you enter a relationship with a woman who has a kid. If you want to have a child, she may not want another, shut down the factory, AND expect you to fulfill your role as father.

I actually feel horrible about when I broke up with that ex I mentioned above. Pretty sure she is still devastated about not seeing my daughters anymore, even if over me. Actually I know that to be true, as I still see her time to time.

If I broke up with my current gf, she would be devastated too, as would her parents, who are already treating them as grandchildren.

Seems like if you ever get attached to those children and a break up happens you not only have zero rights to see the children again but they also see you as abandoning them since you are not around anymore.

Im pretty sure if you legally adopt your spouses children you have the same parental rights as a biological parent.

If you dont legally adopt them obviously youre not entitled to visitations and such.

Its just people who want to look down on other people.

Seems to me there is ZERO benefit to dating a single mom.

Well I support adopting children as a lot of them need a loving home and there is no step parent bullshit to deal with.

I also support people willing to take in orphans since they really need a loving home.

No mother (or any parent) who is worth their salt is going to put their own blood before anyone else, including themselves.

Women have the same issue, like when the man's child and or/former lover shows up at the door and suddenly breaks the news to them that the former lover gave birth to a kid he never knew about.

Some people just don't want to. Not a hard concept to grasp or think of reasons for it unless you're stupid.

Yeah, this. Why would she ever put a boyfriend above her kid? That's crazy.

However, she should still make sure to give you dedicated time, barring emergencies of course.

Jokes. Im actually used to being 2nd to kids everywhere I go already. It's completely fine.

Id almost prefer a woman with a kid at this point. As long as it's not connected to a toxic relationship that's a blackhole. But, Id rather slowly work my way into being a father figure a kid. Rather than have to go all in immediately after it's born. Plus, I have no interest in the first year of a kids life. Everything about it gives me anxiety.

There is nothing wrong with what you want. It simply conflicts with what single mothers want.

Don't let these guys guilt trip you into spending your resources on someone elses kid, if thats not what you want to do.
