It's all kind of crazy. Kerry, your friend has a son that is just about my age!
My mom got remarried when she was 58. She was alone after her divorce for 13 years! I mean she wasn't unhappy but she really did things that SHE liked and I think for the most part really enjoyed the time. But she very much felt the same way - no children unless they were adult children.
I have another friend that has 3 teenagers and she also said under any circumstance she would not date a guy with young children.
For me I know it's a good possibility given my age that people I meet might have young children. It's a VERY overwhelming thought.
