If you were a single parent with a child would you..

if i'm already stuck with one then i'm good

I dunno

I once heard this story about a lovely lady, who was bringing up three very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold, like their mother... the youngest one in curls.

And theres this story of a man named... oh I cant remember. Who was busy with three boys of his own. They were four men living all together, yet they were all alone.

Anyway, tldr, one day when the lady met this fellow. And they knew that it was much more than a hunch, that this group must somehow form a family.

I don't actually know what happened next. Probably went bad somewhere along the line...

It really depends on the prospective spouse.

and their children's compatibility with mine.

Financially, it could allow pooling resources, but at first it'd require a lot of "networking" to pull the family together as a family.

Look at it this way: There are a lot of benefits, but only if the right person (and child) is to be had.
