27. It's not immature to not want kids -- it IS jerky to refuse to accept another man's kids
and that's what it boils down to in a lot of cases. Your opinion may vary but I feel the same way about my girlfriends who won't date men who have children. I'll grant you that kids complicate things and sometimes they make a relationship impossible but to outright reject someone because you don't want to "deal with" some other man/woman's kids is pretty cold.

On the other hand, my brother's theory is that any "good woman" who has reached 40 without having a past must have something wrong with her. I don't know if I agree with that entirely but there does come a point in life when you have to be suspicious of someone who hasn't collected at least a little baggage along the way.
