Today, I was sitting in IHOP with my girlfriend of six months when she brought in her son of three years she had neglected to tell me about, and asked 'Does this change things?' FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, things were going great with my girlfriend of six months. She knew I had kids and it seemed to be getting serious, so I decided to introduce her to them. After dinner, I walked her to her car and she said, "That’s real nice but what are you going to do with them once you and I have kids?" FML
Today, as I had a chat with my boyfriend and a couple of his friends, one of them had brought up my boyfriend's son and his other child who was due any day now. The conversation would have went well, had I known that he had a son and a pregnant girlfriend. FML
Today, we've been dating for over three months, but I went over my girlfriend's house for the first time. As we walked through the door, I was greeted by a little girl whose first words to me were, "Are you my daddy?" FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of six years has a five year-old daughter. FML
Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML
Today, a woman came up to me and sheepishly asked if my son is single. He's not my son, he's my boyfriend. FML
Today, my girlfriend blew up at me for a comment I had made several weeks ago about not wanting kids. Then, she told me that she's pregnant. After consoling her and telling her that whatever we do, we'll do it together, she further explained that she's not sure if it's mine. FML
Today, as I was taking my three year-old daughter home from daycare, she asked where her daddy was. I tried to tell her that I was her father, but she answered, "No, not you! My other daddy!" I've got some talking to do tonight. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Today, I was watching TV with my husband and my 5-year-old son. Everything was going fine until my son asked his father, “Why can’t mom know that you have another sweetheart?” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you don't mind children, it really shouldn't bother you. Although, She probably should have mentioned that she had a child before that point.

It should ABSOLUTELY change things. The deal breaker should not be that that she has a kid. It should be that she hid it from you for so long. I can understanding waiting until a few weeks into the relationship to let you know she was a mom or early in the relationship forgetting that she hadn't told you yet, but no more than a month. After six months there is no way it was any sort of accident that you didn't know. She was intentionally hiding it, and that right there is the problem.

She really should have told you, for six months, its really wrong that she didn't tell you. However, I'm guessing that she kept it from you because most people ran if they found out she had a kid. Maybe she was hoping you would get to know her, and if you cared for her then the kid wouldn't be a deal breaker.

The thing about that is if someone ran because she mentioned her kid, they're not going to really be there for them anyways. Getting to know someone, and springing her kid on them? It's immature and just plain wrong. Yeah it might make some of the people who would normally run away stay for a little longer, but if they respected themselves, they wouldn't continue to date someone who lied about something so big.

If she couldn't be honest about having a kid initially then you should dump her.
