I am a single mother with three very young children. I want to say that I am not looking to date at the moment, but had a question to pose for if and when I do. I am wondering from the single mothers out there..with two or more children, is it hard? Are guys interested? And for the guys out there..and be brutally honest here, would you date a woman with two or more children. Why or more importantly why not? I would like to not hear stuff like "I dont want a woman looking for a father for her children" I assure you, the majority of us are not. Thanks in advance!

There are several Great men out there that do not care if you have children-- In order to find the right man he has to be willing to step in and be a father figure to your children.
I was a single mom-- of 1 daughter- I was honest from the beginning- I didn't let my sig. other meet her until I knew it was real! We've been together for 7+ years now-- and he is a wonderful dad figure- She is close to her real dad still-- so my sig. other doesn't try to take that role-- I tell her daily she is so lucky to have 2 wonderful men in her life.
So when you start looking- think of your kids first-- and find that perfect man who is willing to become that father type figure to your kids. Good luck!

I know how you feel. I am a single mother also. I did not date for a long time after my divorce, because I did not want me daughter to think I was trying to find her a new father.After a while I started dating again. My daughter had no problem with it, and my family supported me. But there are a lot of men that will not a single mother they say we have to much baggage.
