Are you mentally mature enough to date someone who has a child?

Dating as a millennial is a challenge in itself due to social media influences, dishonesty , lack of communication , and lack of maturity within both genders. From what I've heard dating in past generations wasn't as complex as it is now , that's when chivalry and having some morals was in. The other night my friends and I were discussing dating/ relationship issues millennial's endure the most common issues we related to were lack of communication and lack of maturity.

Another topic we discussed was would you be able to date someone who has a child or children. It's a strong no for me due to a number of reasons. For starters my first child has to be my partner's first child, I don't do baby mama drama , I wouldn't want my child or myself to come second to their first family. Not to sound selfish but it's the reality of it would you be comfortable with not being less of a priority to that person and being able to just spend a limited amount of quality time.

And also, what if you dislike the child or vice versa? That's like an automatic deal breaker or if you choose to try to ignore it more than likely it'll put a strain on the relationship. In some situations the child or children may view their parent's new partner as an intruder or the reason why their parents split.

Not all situations are like the scenarios I mentioned and there are some pros when it comes to dating someone with children. However , I feel if your young still trying to navigate through life and find yourself you shouldn't deal with a person that comes with major baggage.
