Dating someone with children

[Sara8X]

I'm seeing a man who is divorced and has 3 children, we get on very well and I can potentially see a future with him, I'm just wondering if taking on 3 children is too much?

Has anyone been in this scenario and what have you found the pros and cons to be.

Take it slowly, you don't have to meet his DC until you are ready, if that's one or two years then fine. Put your foot down if you don't want to move in with him, be wary of men who are looking for a free live in nanny.

Every scenario is different and many factors come into play.

To be honest there aren’t many pros from dating someone with three children. Yes they can be “nice” children but taking part in raising someone else’s children is a thankless job where you’re almost never right. You’re damned for not taking enough interest and also damned if you step up and parent them too much.

The ex can also bring a lot of stress and negativity to your life and relationship even if they’re on seemingly good terms.

You have to really want the relationship for it to work and still it will be tough. You have to put these three children ahead of yourself and bite your tongue ALOT.

You also need to take into account your living situation if you were to want your own children. If he’s always got three, that would mean 6 people potentially living in a house.
