Should I date a woman with kids?

Umm...i was referring to financial support.

Yeah, that other girl wanted me to pay for her college. Not her actual tuition but her books and some other stuff. What a parasite.

Because that's normal until very recently and society is slow to change

I had met girls before requesting such things and it's more common than you think.

But my SO is different.

The other day I asked my her sister what she (the so) may like as a bday gift; the next day my SO told me her sister revealed (I got upset at the sister but that's another story) what I asked her last night and she (my SO) said all what she wants is to spend time with me- she doesn't want anything else.

I still brought her something though because I wanted so - but yeah...the incident was strong evidence for her feelings and that she's not a gold digger.

I'd buy lots of gifts for a gf if I had one, but I wouldn't want to be expected to buy her things. But if I saw a shirt I thought was cute I'd beget it for her if I had the money and surprise her.

I'm sightly bias as I'm a mum with two kids. So of course I'll say go for it. I however only have one kid full time and every other weekend she goes to her dads, so plenty of time for my partner and I to have adult time. He also comes over to mine to spend time with my daughter when she's with me for the weekend and we do things together or apart depending on what the situation is. I think the main reason as all 3 people in this relationship are all on the spectrum so it makes it easier, and I have the easiest laid back kid most of the time.

You don't have to meet her kids straight away and start dating and decide if your actually compatiable first before you meet the kids. Some people I know, don't allow their new partner to meet their kids until 6 months into a relationship and by then you normally know if you want to make it work.
