Kids probably have fewer presuppositions... and less experience.

Reminds me of the tagline...  I found Mr. Right... his first name is
Always...     And of course, the adage... once burned twice shy...

I went through two failed engagements before the one that stuck.  And I
was particularly careful before committing to the third, which did,
after all, work out.  Just about everybody (except my own family, they
were still rooting for #2) was sure that we were "right" for each other,
and considered it a done deal LONG before I was ready to agree that it
really could work this time.

 MK> Speaking of kids, I usually get along better with single mother's kids

Makes a lot of sense, in actuality...   Different set of (and level of)
needs/interactions involved, for starters...  ;)
