What are they so worried about?

My boyfriend has kids, when my parents found out about this they were so against our relationship, the screamed and swore at me everyday but they eventually decided they were going to give him a chance because they want me to be happy. My boyfriend and I went to a shopping centre a few days ago and my mum hugged him and said she's sorry for everything. They then talked for the next 20 minutes and in my mums words, she was so "enthralled by him" and that he's so intelligent, funny and cares about me a lot. So she likes him a lot and she's not against our relationship, but she's still worried that I don't know what I'm getting myself into. I know things are going to be harder with money and the fact that I will have kids in the future and then his to look after. My mum is not very good with words, neither is my dad so I'm not sure why they're so worried about his kids. I'd just like some ideas on what exactly they're worried about?

    I think they are worried because if he already has kids, that must mean he had a girlfriend at one point. And depending on how old you are, it could be that they had children at a very young age, without being married. I think that they want to make sure you will be dedicated to this guy before having children, and obviously with the last girl that had not been so. They don't want you left with children, when there's no guy around.
