    For me personally, I would never date someone that had kids. For one, I don’t like kids and am childfree by choice, and two, having been the kid of the parent that started dating after their divorce and ended up with an “evil stepmother” figure in my life, I would never want to be such a person in a child’s life. I don’t care how awesome a step parent you think you’d be, you are infringing upon the relationship between an adult and their biological child, and let me tell you, that 9/10 times, that kid will never like you, whether they state that out loud or keep it to themselves.
