I wouldn’t mind doing it, but I would have to know the partner really well and feel confident that it would be a stable relationship. I remember having a hard time as a kid when I lost my aunt because her and my uncle had a nasty divorce where she went no contact.

Pros of dating a parent:

• You can see how they treat those that are vulnerable and dependent on them
• They’re typically more stable, conscientious, and responsible
• Good parents know that they have to model healthy behavior, so they practice those
• You already know what you are getting with the kids, so it’s not a surprise
• The kids inadvertently tell on the parent if the parent is misrepresenting themselves up front
• Can do family activities that would normally be considered odd for only adults to partake
• The many benefits of being a parent
• If there’s shared custody, you regularly get time off from being a parent
