Although in order to date me he has to be accepting of my son and be a good male figure. I choose to date men with o kids b/c my sons father has two other children and their mother caused so many problems in our relationship and was the root of all the drama between us and I would just choose not to go that route anymore. My question is "Am I wrong for only wanting to date a man with no children even though I'm asking him to accept me with a child?"
I don't think that that its wrong as much as I don't think you're seeing the whole picture. Now, I don't have any kids, but I have been in a situation where I was considering a relationship with someone that has a child. You're so concerned about someone else's baggage... have you ever entertained that notion that perhaps your son's father might cause problems between you and your next man? Have you also not thought about someone who has a child already being able to understand where you're coming from if a problem does arise? Sometimes you might even do something that your son's father considers to be a pestilence If someone is willing to accept you wholly, and love you the way you and your son deserved to be loved- that's a blessing. You shouldn't turn it away.
While dating someone who doesn't have kids, is a preference just like any other trait, I don't think that's a reason that you should deny someone your time. Yes, it does seem quite hypocritical, in the end its still just a preference. You have to date people that you feel would be best for you and your son.
