would you have any problem accepting your bf/gf's kids?

Well if you already know the person has kids then you better be prepared to accept them Otherwise you shouldnt even be dating that person. I love my step-daughter and I knew she was a package deal when i met my now husband. It takes work to blend a family but with patience and hard work from all sides it can be done .

i think it would be hard for me to accept, not because the kids are from a realtionship in the past bust becuase i'm not ready to be rsponsible for kids. odds are very good i wouldn't get invloved with someone who had kids in the first place.

we could never be sure if we're not actually in that situation but for the sake of the discussion, i'd say that maybe at first, it would be hard for me. i might even be jealous for awhile but then, kids have a way of getting under your skin so, maybe in time, i'd fall in love with them. generally, i have no problem with kids coz i love them so maybe, it won't be too hard if i were in that position.

I think i would have a problem, probably because i have heard all about some of my partners ex's & i don't think i could handle having them still be a part of his life. Actually i don't think i could have stayed with him if i'd known but that wouldn't have really made him my b/f at that point. I think if they're honest from the beginning about if they have kdis with someone else, then you can choose to continue the relationship with them or not to get involved at all. I'm sure most people would be fine with it but i don't think i could handle the constant reminder of his ex is all - i'm very insecure but that's due to another factor so i have always been like that.

it would really depend on the circumstance. i have seen friends relationships destroyed not by the kids,but the other parent interfering in the current relationship via the children.

My partner has two older children. I have three younger children. I get along fine with his children. I don't try to mother them. We are friends. My children do call my partner dad. He does father them. When you go into a relationship you have to respect one anothers children. You have to see what the children need from you. My partners children have a great mother already so all they need from me was a friend.

Hi LightninStrike. If I got involved with a guy who had children from the previous marriage i would gladly accept,treat and raise them as I would my own children, being careful not too push the boundaries of being step mom, on over doing it without gaining trust and firstly being a friend
