[InOne]

Or another way to say it - would someone having a child put you off going out with them. I made it about both sexes so it doesn't turn into a single mothers bashing thread.

Personally I wouldn't do it again. I was in a relationship with a woman who had a kid when I was 18. Whilst it was okay and I got on with the child, everything revolved around him and there wasn't much 'us' time, also at the start of the relationship it's always made very clear "the child always comes first". Which of course is fair enough but when someone says that you can't help feeling a little uneasy. Also I was left in a few awkward situations when he was misbehaving, especially when the cousins came round who were also young. They'd be fighting, screaming, crying and I'd have no idea what to do or how to approach it.

What's your views?
