It’s a commitment on a whole other level.

Taking on the responsibility of dating a woman who has children is not for the faint of heart. Below, we’ll discuss some questions every man should ask himself before making this very real commitment.

1. Am I secure enough to take a back seat sometimes?

Every article you’ll ever read about dating a mom will tell you that her kids will always come first. Anyone who has any experience with children knows that they, themselves, are a full time job. Depending on the age(s) of your new love interest’s children, the “full-timeness” will obviously change.

The fact will always remain, though, that her kids will always be her biological, emotional, and moral priority.

This does not mean that there is more love for them and less love for you, but it does mean that these types of love are projected much differently from each other and a man struggling with his own security could feel slighted or cast aside at times.

There is less alone time, less intimate time, less private time, less you time.

Are you okay with that?
