in during. out.

[Pringles]

Don't bother until you reach at least 6 months to a year. Save yourself the trouble.

[Ratatapa]

did she also had a kid before you met her?

if yes how goes/went the relashionship?

[Ryko]

Learn to spell first, then worry about girls

[Conrad]

Yes she had a 4 year old

She didn't want me to be a dad, and I didn't want to be one. We were together for almost a year and I broke up with her for being immature and aloof.

If she's raising the kid fine on her own, it works, you're not going to feel much stress from a 7 year old they're pretty friendly. If you're pulled into raising somebody elses kid, it takes a lot of responsibility, what's the situation with the father, etc.

Because there is constantly going to be that other guy in the background you're sharing the relationship with. It's not horrible, but why am I posting this in Spam, I mean really, halfway through the post I realized this wasn't General Discussion with the self-help threads.

[Ratatapa]

She broke up with her ex cuz they didn't share the same view, but they are still friends.

(he lives in alberta, we are in Quebec) so yes she is kinda alone with him, and sometimes the dad takes vacation to spend time with his son

I've got the Dr. Laura stance on single parents. Don't date until the kid is out of the house.

Or well, I mean when they're old enough to last on their own. I guess 16+ is fine.

When I see a kid, I see traps. Does your instinct not tell you the same?

[Ratatapa]

it does, that's why i'm reluctant a bit, but after my Work trip, i'll go spend a weekend at her house and see how that goes

[gamez]

Seems alright, single parents commit very differently to relationships because they're very focused on the kid as well as yourself, you're very open to abruptly end the relationship or keep it going for as long as it feels comfortable, if her son is the fucking anti-christ, you're best treading carefully around somebody else's kid if he does wrong.

[Howard Roark]

I agree with Falisa. if the kid is 16+ you can date them too
