A woman with 4 children? I am a single parent to 4, I’ve been single since my ex left 2 years ago. Everyone I know keeps saying I should date and try to meet someone’s but I can’t accept that a man would be interested in a woman with 4 children (it’s not the same as having one or two) am I right? Should I just accept I will never meet anyone? I’m only 30 and feel like I will be alone forever.

Met my amazing boyfriend when mine were 5,6,7. He tells them often they are his kids and that he doesn't see them differently to his own son.

Marrying him also so yes op, a man will be interested.

No I’m not recently out of a relationship, I’ve been single for 2 years so I think you are mixing me up with someone else. Feels like I will be alone forever so just want to know that there is hope for the future.

I think if I was going to get involved with someone with children I'd look at a couple of things.

How easy are the children to get along with? Are they going to give any aggravation? Are they going to make life hard?

What's the relationship like with their father? Does he pull his weight? Is he an absent parent? Is he going to cause trouble? Does he pay towards the children?
