With Kids or Without? 

A friend of mine asked me the other day if I was looking to date someone with kids or without. 

Of course I have two of my own, and they are quite used to the kid shuffle they do each week.  It was an interesting question. 

There was a time when I used to think I would rather date someone who had kids of their own.  Because in my mind, how could someone understand the passions I feel for my kids unless they too were a parent.

My opinion has actually shifted clear to the opposite.  Today I think I'd be more inclined to date someone who doesn't have kids.  It's hard enough to juggle schedules, balance routines, make one ex spouse reasonably happy. 

I'm not sure I've the strength to battle two ex spouses, keep track of two sets of routines and the like.  Now I can't say that I would rule someone out because they have kids, but I will say that I'm not making that a requirement these days.
