In a lot of situations people keep their children out of their relationship life as much as possible, which is easy to understand because then the kids (depending on age) don't become attached to a parent figure who could actually be leaving their life via a break-up.
But, I was wondering how many of you found out the other person had kids? And when? Were you far along into the relationship or already married before they decided to break the ice on the subject?

I am fromt eh old school I think its pathetic that some women afer divorcing bring every Tom, *Censored **Censored **Censored **Censored * and Harry into their childrens lives as if the divorce isnt hard enough, you bring strangers in and out of their lives and they become attached to them. I think unless Im really serious and want to marry this man tey will not meet my children.
As afar as other kids involed I think its important to let your partner know if you have them int eh beginning odf the relationship, its only fair.

I think it is important that both parties know what they're going into. If the other has a child from previous relationships, s/he must the other person. It doesn't mean they have to meet the children right away. Meeting the children should only occur right before they finally decide to get married.

I agree. You must tell your partner or partner to be about your child. S/he should know about it before hand so there won't be any surprise later on. You just have to be honest about it. But meeting of the children should be done when you are making the partnership permanent already.

it think usually men hide the fact of having children when they are in a relationship...women usually tell the fact in the very beginning itself...i believe kids shud meet the new person only after the marriage...i don think kids shud be involved in the whole issue before tht...and every one shud tell the truth right at the beginning itself when u get involved in a new relationship.......

I saw this movie where the guy said that both parties should really be open and honest during the first date because it is a time when both have nothing or less to lose. If they don't want what they see on each other, they could simply decide not to see each other anymore. I guess the same is true in situation where one of them has a child. The possible partner should be informed about the child so he'll know what is in store for him.

you should defenatly let your parnter know about a child in your relationship!! You dont have to introduce the child to your new partner until things get serious, but let them know about your children
