It sounds like you are a teacher possibly being confronted by a frustrated parent. The big problem with the question, as phrased, is it attacks you as a teacher. That can get you angry if you take it personally. You'll need to calmly diffuse the situation, without attacking back. I'd calmly state, "I am here to teach. Though teaching uses some games as teaching tools, schools are not daycare centers that just let children goof off and play. Let me show you some of the subjects we've been working on. Here are some examples of your son/daughter's best work. He/she was quite proud of this. But he/she has had trouble concentrating lately and doesn't want to do his/her work. (or whatever problems the child has had). I was wondering how we could work together to motivate him/her..." Try to get the parents into a cooperative position where they see you as their and their child's ally, not enemy.

Can a woman without children expect to be the first priority in a relationship with a man who has children?

Not likely. You would have to have children to understand but any good loving parent would always put their children first no matter what! But that doesn't mean he should let them make his life decisions.But he would be concerned if they had an issue with him dating it will just take time.Know this:never put yourself in a parent roll with these children they are his not yours so just have fun with them and play with them like a dad's girlfirend would ya know.
