If you do things with their children, they will like you better. Take the kids to the park, go for a walk on the beach, go to an amusement park, bring over cookies and cook them with them. Be creative. If you act they are a burden, it will never work out. 3 and 6 are such fun ages to do thing with. If you do things with their family, they will like you better.

I have been married for over a year. My husband and I dated for almost 4 years before we got married, and he has a 6 and 7 year old from a previous relationship. First, kudos for giving dating single parent a shot. Not everyone is comfortable with that, and I think it's important to give it a try. You never know how you might feel, or where you might end up (married like me, lol!) The best thing you can do is be patient and understanding. I spent a lot of time at his place in the beginning of our relationship. The kids were always there (he has full custody), and I remember renting a lot of movies. Not that we never went out, but clearly, we went out less often than if I had chosen a guy with no strings. What you need to do is hang in there until you have a clear idea of how you really feel about him. Kids do require some sacrifice on your part, but if you find that you truly care for him, it will be a sacrifice well worth it. And also, there are a lot of fun things you can do when you're stuck in the house after the kids go to bed. I wish you luck on your journey :O) Hi!

I have been married for over a year. My spouse and I out-of-date for nearly 4 years before we got married, and he has a 6 and 7 year ancient from a previous relationship.

First, standing for giving dating release parent a shot. Not everyone is comfortable with that, and I reflect it’s vital to give it a try. You never know how you might feel, or where you might end up (married like me, lol!)

The best thing you can do is be patient and appreciative. I spent a lot of time at his house in the commencement of our relationship. The kids were always there (he has full custody), and I remember renting a lot of movies. Not that we never went out, but clearly, we went out less often than if I had chosen a guy with no strings.

What you need to do is hang in there until you have a apparent thought of how you really feel about him. Kids do require some sacrifice on your part, but if you find that you truly care for him, it will be a sacrifice well worth it. And also, there are a lot of fun things you can do when you’re stuck in the house with the kids go to bed.

I wish you luck on your journey :O)

Secondly, keep your opinions to yourself, unless you are asked. Third, take mental notes on how he handles his kids. If you don't like the way he is raising them, you may want to call it quits...because you will never change the situation. And lastly, make a date about 2 weeks ahead of time. Good planning is the only way to combat the babysitting issue. First of all, you need to remember, you are not their mother and you will never replace her.
Secondly, keep your opinions to yourself, except you are questioned.
