Would you date someone who has a kid that is an obnoxious little shit?
A buddy of mine was married for about 7 years. About 1.5 years ago he got divorced. He has no kids of his own. He has dated a few women since, but started seeing this one a little more seriously recently. She seems nice (I have only met her a couple of times), has a good job and is pretty. Her problem is that she has a 9 year old daughter that is an obnoxious little shit. The kid is the only grandchild in the family so she is supremely spoiled, she has no respect for anyone or anything and runs that house. One of the times I was around this woman was recently at a birthday get together and she left early because her daughter didn't want to share toys with other kids and told her mom if she was going to have to share they should go leave and go home, so that is what they did.
My buddy says that she tells him she isn't looking for a daddy for this kid, but if he gets involved seriously with her, he is going to be involved with the kid, there is no way around it. I told him to run for the hills that this is either just going to end badly or he is going to end up stuck in a situation where he is miserable.
What do you think? Would something like this be a deal breaker for you?
