Ahhh they are inextricably linked to a previous partner and you’re expected to become a parental figure if the relationship goes anywhere serious.

Some people (like me) really don’t want an instant family.

I take my hat off to those who don’t have kids but date parents; they are better people than I.

I wouldn't mind doing it, but I would have to know the partner really well and feel confident that it would be a stable relationship. I remember having a hard time as a kid when I lost my aunt because her and my uncle had a nasty divorce where she went no contact.

Pros of dating a parent:

  • You can see how they treat those that are vulnerable and dependent on them
  • They're typically more stable, conscientious, and responsible
  • Good parents know that they have to model healthy behavior, so they practice those
  • You already know what you are getting with the kids, so it's not a surprise
  • The kids inadvertently tell on the parent if the parent is misrepresenting themselves up front
  • Can do family activities that would normally be considered odd for only adults to partake
  • The many benefits of being a parent
  • If there's shared custody, you regularly get time off from being a parent

Getting older, with an established career makes spontaneity harder as it is. Add kids to the mix and it's pretty much impossible.

I ... don't want that. I like making last minutes plans, 1-2 week long trips, etc. The most limiting factor for me is dropping off my cat at one of my many friends/family members that can watch it (and I reciprocate with their pets).

If I'm going to date it's going to be with someone with a compatible lifestyle.
