Today, I went on a second date with a guy who seemed perfect in every way possible. That is until he started mentioned how children are a deal-breaker for him. I had to break it to him that I have a 14 month old daughter. He actually had the balls to ask if I'd ever consider foster care. Seriously, dude? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on a date, and I mentioned that I'm divorced, he was fine with that. I said I have two kids, he was fine with that. I mentioned the youngest is autistic, he was not fine with that, got up, and left so fast saying he wants nothing to do with kids like that. I was left with the bill. FML
Today, I went on a second date with a seemingly great guy. Over drinks, I asked him what his plans for the future were. He replied that he wanted to have at least two kids, so he could start a family vlog prank channel. I laughed. He was serious. FML
Today, I agreed to go on a date with this really nice guy. Halfway through the date, he started talking about his wife and kids. FML
Today, assuming he'd be okay with it, I brought my two kids with me on a first date, as I didn't want to pay for child care. My date made me pay for the kids' meals and my own, then blocked my number afterwards. FML
Today, after two years of dating and my boyfriend knowing I hate kids and don’t want any, he surprised me with his 4 year-old daughter, thinking I would change my mind. I immediately dumped him, leaving him at the mall we were shopping at. FML
Today, the guy I’ve been seeing for a couple of months and started falling for told me his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child. I’m so bummed because kids and baby mamas are my number one deal-breaker. I really liked him too. FML
Today, I met a wonderful man and agreed to go on a date. Halfway through the date, he started telling about how much he hates his wife. And his four kids. I texted him after I walked out, saying not to call me again. He agreed. His wife didn't. FML
Today, I was on a first date with a really nice guy and, of course, when there was an awkward silence, I started talking and realized too late that I was running through my usual complaints about my worthless baby daddies. He asked how many and I said three, and he left without a word. FML
Today, we saw a woman with two out-of-control children. As we walked away, my husband said to me, “Disgusting, I’m glad we’re never having children.” News to me, he'd always said he wanted a kid before we married. An uncomfortable conversation is imminent, damn it. FML
Today, my date asked how many kids and baby daddies I had. When I responded neither because I'm not like that, he didn't believe me and left. FML

Everything was fine until he asked about foster care. Some people just don't like/ want children.

Foster care! He is not even human!

This post should have a YDI option. Having a kid is one of the first things you should tell someone on the first date. Anything that happens after is your fault because you were hiding it and it sounds like you only mentioned your kid when you got "offended" that your date doesn't want children and or doesn't want to date someone with children. I think the foster care comment was a joke that OP just didn't get because she was too busy being offended.

A joke suggests it was funny. It wasn't. It may be funny to a niche group of people, but to at least 95% of the rest of us, it would not be. That same 5% would also think that dead baby jokes are THE most hilarious thing that ever was invented. To even bring up foster care at such an early stage in a relationship, even when it's immediately followed by "I'm joking" is nothing short of outrageous. Now, far be it from me to act the PC Police, but OP had every right to get miffed at him for saying something so disrespectful and self-centered.

How can you know he's the "perfect guy" if it's only been two dates? Smh

I don't know if I'd date anyone with kids either but asking about foster care? Come on.

Well, obviously they're not as big a dealbreaker as he thought. Just needs a creative solution to deal with them.

YDI. You'd think your kid would be something you mention on the first date. My 2 kids are one of the first things I mention to any woman I'm interested in. If that's too much for them, I'm not even going to consider dating them.

I'm so happy you dodged that bullet.
