Where is the (baby) love?

My friend Gregg is adamant about not having children. He is 37 years old and leads quite a whirlwind life as a photographer. He loves the freedom of his life and the idea of being a parent just doesn’t appeal to him. We were talking the other day about how it was so hard for him to continue a relationship very long because this was always the deal-breaker.

Are you someone that prefers to be child-free? If so, have you always felt this way? How does this impact your dating life?

A couple of months ago, Christopher (who I wanted to be more than friends with) asked me if I would have a child with him. When I told him that I was slightly offended by the idea, he didn’t understand why. According to him, it was the greatest compliment ever because that is the kind of bond that would never be severed. He didn’t want a serious relationship with anyone, but he felt ready to become a father. He thinks that we would be great parents together because we were “attractive, educated, and responsible,” (as if that’s all you need) and he even worked out some of the details!

Would you consider a “co-parenting” arrangement with someone you know?

If you could only choose between having a child or having a marriage, which would you choose?

Have you ever dated someone who doesn’t want children and you do? How did you handle it?

Good Morning

Off-Topic I don’t know if any of you listen to V-103 but I have to say I am fighting tears back listening to the good God is doing in that ladies life right now. It’s so ironic that I had just got finished reading about maintaining faith in the darkest hour..not to give up. This was the perfect example of Blessings being On Time. Now she is overwhelmed with the pour over of the love of those touched by her story in our city.

Now where did I put those boxes of Kleenex

Morning yall!

Gregg made a great decision about not having kids. Kids are not for everyone. He might have a tough time finding a female who doesn’t want to reproduce though. Good luck.

I, personally, wish I never had kids. I love my sons, BUT I wish I would have waited. Because I feel guilty for bringing them here, I work hard everyday to keep them happy and safe.

I would never do a co-parenting thingy. I want the father there by my side 100%.

I would choose marriage over having a baby. My mindset is different from when I was 25 years old. Whose isn’t right?

Good Morning! Great topic…

I’m on the fence with this one. When I was married, I desperately wanted a baby, but to no avail and obviously due to the demise of my marriage, that was a good thing. Since my divorce, my desire for children has diminished. I love kids and I’ve dated a few guys with kids, so coming into a situation where there are children isn’t a bad thing…minus babymomma drama. I want to believe that when God blesses me with my mate, this will be a decision that we make together. I’m not so opposed that if I married a man and was in love with him and he wanted a baby, that I’d say no. My other dilemma is that if he says he doesn’t want any, I don’t want to wake up at 40 and wish I’d had a baby.

If had to choose between having a child or having a marriage, I’d choose having a marriage. There are a lot of men who are already fathers, so me being a mother doesn’t mean I have to birth the child. But there’s only one way to be a wife.

I have a child (teen), would NOT even consider dating a man who had something against a woman with a child (get ta stepping!!!!), would NOT date a man who has a child that he is not taking care of (I don’t care whether he has visitation or not, or whatever excuse that could be used as to why not), and definitely would NOT date a man who’s looking to hang out (at my house)/come over/lay around/etc. that can’t/won’t contribute to what I’m trying to accomplish! Ya gots to pay to play!!!!!!!!!!!! And, trust!, where there’s one who won’t, there’s always one who will. And yes, I date like a man!!!!! It’s the best defense ever! Get on board, ladies!!!

OFF-I was listening to V103 yesterday and today. Anybody with a heart would have trouble squeezing a tear or two. Much props to the ATL.

ON - I believe I still want children, but I want my own the traditional way. Meaning………….I prefer me and my SO to share our “first-time” experience, while being married. I’ve always thought that women with children will always have a bond with their baby-daddy. It’s like I would also be inheriting not only a child, but the bond also. Not meant to be a slight to the single mothers. Maybe I’ve been missing out. But I don’t think I would get the same level of respect as the man before me. At least one thing I would have in common with a “true” single woman is we can share our first child together……….as a married couple. NO ooops

Co-parenting is not new. It’s been going on for at least a generation. Baby-mama/daddy drama has been going on for years b/c of co-parenting. What are we teaching our children about family when we say it’s okay to pop out babies without marriage? “Listen to me son, you don’t need to get bogged down by a wife……….just order a baby to-go.”

Slim waving back at Rell & Beautiful

Beautiful Well a lady called in yesterday just to vent about her situation. She moved here earlier this month from Ohio. She came here on greyhound with her 9yr old son, who is also diagnosed with mental retardation. All she had was $20 but was expecting her son’s disability check. However, when she got here all her utilities were not on, someone had broken into her mailbox and stole the check. She doesn’t have a car. So she has to walk 35 to 40 minutes just to get to the bus stop. She basically moved here for a better life since so many things went wrong for her in Ohio. (From being molested for at least 3 or 4 years to being raped by 5 guys). She took a cab to the Social Security office to ask them about her stolen check. Of course the lady was rude and basically told her she put her son and herself in that position by coming here unprepared yadda yadda yadda. Frank Ski left the show to get someone to help with her rodent problem and it pretty much snowballed from there. Folks called in today, the dealership Nalley gave her a car. The employees there put up about $540 bucks to help with the insurance, and another guy there is going to match that amount to help with any other expenses. Johnny Cochrans daughter I believe called in to offer her $2000. Someone else called in to offer her job assistance. She did go to the job fair at Cobb Galleria, took the bus just to pass out her resume but hadn’t received any offers yet. So that’s it in a nut shell.

Good Morning All,

Parenting is a hard job…Many are called but few are choosen. I am a firm believer that if you do not want children or unsure if kids are for you then dont have them. Period. I have not one moment of regret in becoming a mother. Yes, I had all kinds of wonderful dreams before my son was born, but life is what happens while you are making other plans. My dreams didnt shatter when I became a mom they were enhanced. But if a person doesnt want children then they shouldnt feel any pressure to have them. Why have a child that you may later resent .if you have those feelings under the surface they may manifest themselves in other ways.

Hey ya! Not into the baby mom thing, I would like to have a child but not biologically..will adopt been setting up the foundation for it for a few yrs now almost there. I don’t do babies anyway the child I do adopt will be older than 1 and younger than 6.

Prefer to date men with children or a child to take the preasure off me..never had that biological clock thing in me…don’t want to reproduce. I will adopt a child though …never had kids because I wanted to be married to do so and at this age I won’t be having any dont’ want to take my body thru it amongst other things.

I always discuss this issue with a man that I am dating seriously because it can be a deal breaker..if he wants me to have them for him nah not my thing and I tend to not see him again if he isn’t into the adoption thing but if he wants me to busted em out it won’t work…if we are just casually dating and I want to just Toss him up heyal I don’t want to talk about that or anything else..just give me what I want and keep it moving..holla.

Good morning. I too teared up while driving. God is Good. Atlanta’s residents are good.

I absolutely love being a parent. All the ups and downs. This is the most important job I’ll ever have. Yes, it’s very hard keeping your child happy and safe, but I think it’s all worth it. I doubt that I would co-parent, and it would also be difficult to date someone who doesn’t have children. It would be even harder to date someone who didn’t like children. My watch is to protect and provide for my child not to to provide for the happiness of man who wasn’t on the same page as I am.

Morning all…

Some dude just pledge $25,000 to that lady on the radio. WOW…God is awesome.

On Topic: I have alwaya said I dod not want kids. I do not want to have a kid because people think I should or that is what is expected of me. It’s hard to find a guy who does not want to knock you up. If I had to choose between marriage and baby..I would chose marriage (God help me)! I may resent that child later..and I would never want a child to feel the pain of being abandoned (not physically) or feeling like they are unwanted. It’s a feeling that messes with you for the rest of your life. I don’t like to date guys with kids because of many reasons. Its funny..I love infants..but between 2-12…I can’t stand them! LOL But should Ichange my mind..I am all for adoption..after I have achieved the things I want in life. I think motherhood would hinder me in my goals. I love and need my freedom to travel and shop when I want to. To know that my money is mine after I pay bills is a great feeling. My friend is a single mom and she struggles and I thank God I do not have her life. Her life is my birth control…so is her son! (LOL)

Dr. Kym-Relationship Expert, Many are called but few are choosen. EXACTLY!

WiseDiva, I may be wrong, but I believe “dating like a man” is when a woman call’s the booty shots. Her heart isn’t really into the person she’s dating, she’s just out to get hers. Much like many men do. However, when a woman does it, she’s labeled a slut, w*******, garden tool, etc. When a man does it, it’s a notch on his bedpost. More and more women are making that after midnight call on their terms and not on his. I’ll do me, before I let you walk over me. I guess that’s the sentiment. Hey, I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

On-topic

Would you consider a “co-parenting” arrangement with someone you know? Most definitely not. As bad as the outlook is on actually getting married and having kids looks, I’d much rather have a child with my husband than with a friend. I think we need to get back to valuing true family households. The lack of happy 2-parent homes contributes to the demise of society and kids seeking out tv, friends, and celibrities for guidance.

If you could only choose between having a child or having a marriage, which would you choose? I guess at this point in time, I’d choose marriage…(see answer to previous question)

Have you ever dated someone who doesn’t want children and you do? How did you handle it? Nope, never came across that. Most guys just say they aren’t ready now but look forward to kids in the future.

Good morning Everyone!

I am out of the baby-making business. My daughter is 21…why would I start over now? Fortunately, my SO is fixed, so we will not have to go down that path. I now find myself repeating a phrase my Beloved Grandmother would always say: “Look at the condition of the world. If I were a young woman, I would not want to bring a child into this world.” That was over 20 years ago.

There are certain things a child needs for proper nurturing and development. Having parents who live separate lives by choice is not one of those things, in my humble opinion. This excludes single parenting as a result of divorce or the end of a relationship. I would never consider co-parenting even if I did have the mindset for more children. People need to realize that having children should not be a selfish act. The desire to parent is filled with responsibility. No child enters this world with an instruction manual. So, even if couples “prepare” for child rearing, life can take you by surprise. What if one parent dies before the child becomes an adult? What if one parent changes his or her mind after 6 months? Five years? Ten Years? Yes, the same can happen to married couples. I guess my point is a person should base their decisions on what is in the best interest of the child, not simply what “fits” his or her lifestyle.

Dan, I have been told to rent/buy that movie on more than one occasion. Also, when you posted And to ladies with kids, sometimes you look more beautiful there, esp. when you taking care of your kids., it reminded me of a phone call I got last week. This guy has been trying to come over once my child goes to sleep or even stop at his place after work for a glass of wine or two. He said “he finds me so attractive because I keep saying no and that I’m putting my child first in everything.” I thanked him for the backhanded compliment all the while looking at the phone like “DUH, isn’t that what I’m suppose to be doing. KnockedUp is on my list for viewing this weekend.

Dating like a man for me (My guy friends have always said I date like a man) has nothing do with the aspect of sex for me.

Morning All!! Great topic!

Before I got married I was nonchalant about having kids. It was one of those if-it-happens-fine-if-it-doesnt-fine type of things for me. Then I got married and pretty much had the same attitude. I just never has a strong inclination to be a parent but I didnt totally do away with the idea either. By a fluke I got pregnant (on BC Pills, took some antibiotics and didnt read the fine print). I was kinda passe about it the whole time until I had my son. All I could do was just pray that God stay with me and help me to be the best parent possible. I wouldnt want to date a man without kids at this point though b/c I am DONE! I did proclaim that if I didnt have any by 35 (or anymore) then oh well, and I dont want to have the pressure of dealing with a man that wants a child.

Jay This topic hits home for me. I’m often asked, why I don’t have kids. My answer has always been, I want to be married first.

That just shows how lenient our society has become. The question I get asked is no longer “Do you have any kids?” but “How many kids do you have?” Like they EXPECT you to have at least 1 if you’re a certain age. And if I say that I don’t have any because I’m not (and have not been) married, I get the “Well, you don’t have to be married to have kids” line. And my reply is “Well, YOU don’t. But I do.”

Would you consider a “co-parenting” arrangement with someone you know?

Nope. I don’t think this is in the best interest of the child. It seems selfish to me to bring a child into that kind of confusion. Bring back the true family!

If you could only choose between having a child or having a marriage, which would you choose?

I’d have to say I’d choose marriage. I’m on and off about marriage most times, but it’s better to me than the alternative (living with someone, dating multiple people).

If I don’t marry and I still want to raise a child, I do feel that adoption would be an option for me, taking care of and providing for a child who is already here.

as far as me HAVING a kid…as one who has had an abortion and then a miscarriage…and now has a surgically shortened cervix that would make any pregnancy high-risk (meaning complete bed rest from the moment the second line shows up on the stick)…my chances of succesfully carrying a fetus to full term are pretty slim…

that being said…some days, i still wanna be somebody’s biological mother…other days, when i see some of the things that friends go through with my thoughts are dis is some bllsht

Dan, you ask “can I blame him?” No, I’m a good catch (yes ForReal IMO). However, I’m having difficulty with what Raqi said. How do you discern this sentiment from someone truly interested in you = … but were trying to shoplift the puddy and then bounce. I think it’s getting harder and harder to trust for both sexes to trust the other. Some want a relationship and some want just puddy/dyck. Those that are upfront are easy to deal with. Yet, those that are undercover about their intentions make it hard for all of us. Again, I may not have stated that clearly for some, but hopefully you got my drift.

One thing that I would like to express is that I’m thankful for my baby’s daddy. He takes good care of us even though we are thousands of miles away. I’m so lucky to have found a guy who does not dodge the responsibility of providing for his son. It makes it easier on me to raise him. He pays his child support on time every month ($900), and when I need a break I call him up and ask him to buy a plane ticket. I do add this blessing in my prayers er day.

Those that are upfront are easy to deal with. Yet, those that are undercover about their intentions make it hard for all of us.

^^this is what “nice guys” do….they are scared to be upfront..because they fear the reactions of telling the truth

life is going to be so grand, imma go to school, get a job, find a man

he will pledge to love me till death us do part, he will support, we will be a team, a blessed start

we will decorate the nursery and prepare for our blended life, but i now have gas, my feets bloated, do i still look cute?? still your wife?

hormones raging, i’m demandin and downright mean, you feelin pressure w/no help it seems

and now he’s here and we havent spoken in weeks, our child’s cries become our new anthem, we walk to his sporadic beats

i dont know you anymore, loneliness cause tears to stream, i worry, annoy you and pray to Him Supreme

but this has all ended up a life we neither want, what we ‘have’ is not a life, its a ghastly front

for what shouldve been, what couldve been, where have you gone my friend

now i’m in an involuntary co-parenting situation, working through the issues and expected frustration

for the very best reason

it all comes at a hefty price, whateva life throws your way, be realistic is my advice

sorry for the long post, but that was good for the soul

I was always told it takes a generation to change the cycle. I hear some women say they dont need a man. they can raise a child by themselves. Is that being selfish or the way society tells us its ok? Staceye ^5 Divine design has it where a man and a woman was the way it was intended.

You don’t have to be married to give birth to a child. You can be responsible.

One of my greatest blessings are my parents. They’ve been married for 48 years and still very much in love. Everyday I have a shining example of how to be a true father and husband. When I woke up this morning, wifey had my girls dressed adorably and they were about to leave for work and school. Before they got to the bedroom door, without me saying a word, they instinctively returned to my bedside to give me our traditional goodbye kiss and hug. When they left, I woke lil man up, helped him brush his teeth and wash up, ironed his clothes, got him dressed, turned on Dragon Tales (I know the entire theme song), and hopped in the shower. On my way taking him to school, he said: “To Infinity and Beeeyyoooonnnddd!!!” I’m like What? He said, “Daddy, that’s Buzz Light Year. Could you get me a Buzz Light Year costume for Halloween?” I told him “DuShawn, you know I got you.” You can bet your last dollar, I will find a Buzz Light Year costume…I love being their father.

Good Morning to you all….

My wife and I have been married for 7 years and don’t have any children. We have gotten the kid question since 5 minutes after the wedding ceremony!! (We were still in the church thinking whoa, we’ve only been officially man and wife for 5 minutes so now we are supposed to make a baby right away in the morning pews or something?!)

Anyways, we are now making the move towards kids. We know that there is more to having kids than just making them. I want her to be healthy as well as the child. With her being an attorney and me in law school to become one, our time has been limited. She is considering changing careers (maybe teach law) to get away from the billable hour demands that attorneys have. a few of law firms in Atlanta have daycares with them now. We should give an idea of the hourly demands of an attorney. (Attorney doesn’t have the excuse to leave to pick up the child.)

We wanted to be a part of the child’s life and not just be the financial backer.

Offtopic sort of: For those who are parents or Big Brothers/Big Sisters/Mentors etc: I would like to recommend the Tubman Museum in Macon. I’ve taken my lil brothers of the past there. There are rooms that just have the inventions that African Americans have made. Its really special to see the wonder in kids eyes to see what we have contributed to society. I find it really important to show you males that you can make a difference in the world and not be an entertainer (rapper and ballplayers are nothing but entertainers). The fact the term “The Real McCoy” refers to a black inventer, etc.

So, when you guys talk about parenting, I AM THE PARENT IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. $$ don’t make the parent. I don’t and can’t depend on his $58 that may or may not come. Does he feel bad, yes.

Not only me, but my whole crew co-signs to this statement. We’re all single, down to earth, good looking, never married, with no kids. Hard to find good women in Atlanta on the same page.

Would you consider a “co-parenting” arrangement with someone you know? I doubt it, but who knows how I would feel 10 years from now if I’m not married and still want a kid.

If you could only choose between having a child or having a marriage, which would you choose? Honestly, a child. My jaded thoughts on marrige tend to sway, but my thoughts on being a father are concrete.

Have you ever dated someone who doesn’t want children and you do? How did you handle it? Hmmm, a young lady I dated earlier this year for a few months told me she didn’t want to have kids about two months after we were dating and it was a big turn off to me…I respected her views, but I know I at least want one and I wasn’t going to try and change her mind in something she felt adamant about, so needless to say we just decided to be friends.

At the end of the day who knows what our decisions will be when we come face to face with them. Five years from now I could be on some Cliff Huxtable shyt…

Greetings to all, I hope you are having a good day.

Although I see myself having kids, all of my friends swear I will never slow down to let it happen. But you get older and wiser to only see the thrill of the chase hurts the body with age. At one point in life I thought of co-parenting with no hesitation. It allowed for both of us to get what we wanted. Now today I’m sure I would not do it, but I would take children over marriage. There is a bond between mother and child that not even words can come to ones lips to describe. A mother would give her last and only for her child, although mine did not. I’m not jaded by it. A husband/father well he might think a few times before giving his last to his wife. Esp if they are fighting that week. LOL. I’m dating someone now who has 2 kids and strongly leaning toward not having anymore. And until the relationship evolved I thought I was fine with it. Then something clicked in me that was clear that one day I want to give the gift of life from my body. So we shall see……

Good morning blogsville. Long time no see. Hope all is well. I’ve peeped in here a few times and see everything is still off da chain.

First, blogsville give WD a standing ovation. Ol girl brings it on a regular. (Stand your azzes up and clap, lol) She carried this spot for longer than she should have to.

Second, I came by to clear up a few things so this may be one long azzed post. LOL

I stopped blogging, after going cold turkey and all the sweats and shaking that goes with that, because it was time to move on. I can now only blog under my therapists supervision and still have a major jones for chocolate. This was becoming a guys against the girls thing and thats not where its at for me. While theres some differences of opinions in any camp, every time I’ve ever fallen down or raised the bar it was a beautiful sister that was by my side. I cant be mad at that. I’m sure alot of dudes can look back and say the same thing. More times than not I was the cause of the troubles I was involved in. The Truth has been nothing but lucky when it comes to women, minus a few brushes with the demon broads. LOL No harm no foul.

So, given the opportunity to concentrate on where I’ve been or where I’m going I choose the latter. As bleak as things may seem sometimes there is a bright future out there for us and I want to head in that direction. Rell said a mouthfull this morning, we are all blessed to be here and be healthy with food to eat. Everyone can’t say that.

I will say that in a real sick and twisted internet kinda way I have gotten to know some of you and have developed a real liking for you. Through blogging and sharing the ups and downs of daily life I guess that can happen.

A special salute to For Real and Slim who could guaranteed make me cry laughing about those crazy azzed skits. That was some funny shyt.

DU that 1126 was what life is all about. They have us all out here chasing dreams when the real deal is sitting at home waiting for us. Even tho there were many times I wanted to come thru your screen with my 45 you have proved to be one of the reallest dudes I have met/typed with/ wtf ever you call it. LOL Just take it a little easier on the other side because if there was more real cats standing up like you they wouldn’t be having these convo’s. When I grow up I want to be just like you. LOL

I feel good knowing Willie D , For Real and the gang will keep it coming from a mans point of view. Ultimately we’re not enemies. We just have to learn how to work together as a team, the way it was supposed to be. These folks have got us whitewashed.

I wish you all nothing but the best and just wanted you to know that. No hurt feelings, no bad memories, just preparing for the future. If I have hurt or angered anyone here, I apologize. If you hurt or angered me I forgave you 5 minutes after it happened. LOL

When we read the papers (Sorry AJC) and watch the news we forget that there are good people out there like those in blogsville. Thank you all for reminding me of that.

P.S. someone was talking about travelling in europe. My .02 get a eurailpass and hit all of europe. They have a great flea market in Paris, wild clubs in amsterdam, beautiful scenery in switzerland, and even tho most people hit the major cities in italy, jump off the train in some small city and enjoy their way of life for a day or 2. Its eye opening. They’ll give you a class in what family is all about. BTW, they love sisters over there so doors will be opened if you carry yourself right. LOL If you make it to Greece hit Corfu.

Speaking of child support…did anyone see the segment this morning on Fox 5? This man was released from prison after 18 years once it was proven that he did not commit the crime (rape). Now, his son’s mother is suing him for unpaid child support for the last 18 years…of course she wants a portion of the $300k he will receive from the state. His lawyer is contesting. I say he should give something directly to his son. I wonder if the ex-girlfriend believed him when he said he said innocent…

A man and woman are the foundation for their future family. You build the solid foundation first and you never forget that the person next to you is the person you chose, for better or for worse.

After kids, people often forget that. That’s a huge mistake.

I’m not a Christian, but I remember going to service one time and the preacher saying (and I’m paraphrasing here) that your wife/husband should be your first earthly priority. And I agree with that. While most any parent would sacrifice their own life for their childs - if you neglect the foundation, the house will fall.

Afternoon everyone.

Would you consider a “co-parenting” arrangement with someone you know? At this point, never. I would never voluntarily choose to be a single parent or a co-parent. I benefitted greatly by having both my parents in the home GETTING ALONG. I owe it to my kids to try to give them that same experience as much as I can.

If you could only choose between having a child or having a marriage, which would you choose? I’d definitely chose marriage. If I found a true life partern, I’d want him by my side. My children would grow up and leave home, so I’d chose to grow old with the love of my life, if I had to chose.

Have you ever dated someone who doesn’t want children and you do? No. I don’t know if that would be a deal breaker but probably so. Part of me feels I could be okay if I found out I was barren, but I’d want a partner that would at least be on board with having a kid, if I just had to have one.

binford, are you around today? I see you left me a message yesterday. :-)

@ DasV: All of us “prefer” women with no children, but some of us are willing to “open up” to the idea of seriously dating women with children. I don’t think it has anything to do with the quality of women, just the baby-drama that sometimes come with it. Baby-daddy is always trying to tie-up mama from moving on from him. Have to get along with the kid(s).

As far as experience on your side……….it’s kind of like someone telling you the end of the book before you finished reading. The only one who benefits is the one who knows.

Blog Question

MEN How would you feel about your girl/wife/long-time SO being a surrogate mother for another family member or close friend?

Women Would you ever consider being a surrogate mother for a close friend or family member that was unable to have a child?

Hey Bre’, Dasv, SexyLeggs and Slim

Truth how ya doin’? Since GA Man isn’t here to give you the citation for that long azz post….I’ll let it slide!

Slim, Foots & Sexyleggs My bio-dad had $35 a week taken from his check for child suport and let him tell it he paid my way through private school. My mom put that with $65 other dollars a week and made it my allowance. I can count all the stuff he has done for me on my hands. And he wants to try to play proud papi on graduations and great moments in my life. Honestly if I were to get married, he would be invited to the wedding out of respect for my grandparents. But his name would not go on the invite or program…nor would he walk me own the aisle, my dad would. Since he has been a real father to me. Foots you good not to call your pops out on his lying/false bragging. I have so called mine out for the liar he is.

Staceye Definitely has my interest peaked. Things that make you go Hmmm…lol As far as the bio-goes, we had this discussion on the blog a while back. I got so much backlash for saying I wouldn’t want him to walk me down the aisle. Being that I don’t want to relive that, i’ll just say that I really don’t feel that i’m his to give away. It would have to be my mom or my current father figure, Pops. He did the overly-proud parent stunt at my graduation. We marched in, he grabbed me in the middle of it all, picked me up and spun me around. All the other unsuspecting parents took it as WOW,he really adores his daughter. However, he hadnt helped me do papers or projects in school. Hopefully he’s being a better dad now to his youngest daughter with his current wife.

Beautiful I believe I’d get too attached to the child from going thru the pregnancy to just give it up & relinquish rights. I’d probably whisper in the childs ear that You know I’m yo real momma right?

WillieD “Happily married is a day to day term.” Truer words have never been typed. I have said several times marriage has an ebb and flow just like the tide. A few weeks ago I couldn’t stand her azz. She’s naggin me, saying I’m in the street too much. I’m telling her to shut up, clean up around this mafugga and cook something. Getting some azz was out of the question. I’d stay up late watching TV and go sleep in one of the guest rooms. We were barely speaking. Gradually, we started to forgive and act right. We took a family trip to Savannah this past weekend and fell back in love. I just took her to Maggiano’s for lunch. She’s like; “dayum the salads in here cost $15.00!” I jokingly told her; “see what happens when you treat your man right.” She said she wanted to treat me to Miami this weekend. I’m leaving the office at noon tomorrow and we’re out. After we ate, the waiter boxed up what we couldn’t finish and brought the leftovers in two separate Maggiano’s bags. I said; “See baby, that’s why the salads are so expensive they give you these classy bags.” She said; “shiiid next time I’ll bring my own dayum bag.” I asked our server to add a slice of the chocolate cake to go. The bill comes it’s about $40.00. She looks at it and says; “dayum…..one slice for $7.00, I could’ve bought you a whole chocolate cake from Sam’s Club for five dollars.” I had to laugh because she has always been like that when it comes to bread. It reminded me of one of the many reasons I married her.

If I should co-sign for something like this to truly help a dear, dear, important friend in my life, believe you me I would have talked to myself until I was blue in the face.

I use that as daily motivation to be all that I can right now to my kids.

Willie Dynamite I have initiated many heart-to-hearts with my dad. I really believe that he just feels lost & don’t know how to get his footing back so-to-speak. It’s almost as if he lost touch with me. I was daddy’s little girl when my parents were married but once she got re-married, he slowly stopped making it a priority to spend time with us. It’s so funny that this came up because my mom found this paper I wrote 10yrs ago for class titled a Problematic Father. I couldn’t believe I wrote about this & turned it in. So just last week i forwared it to him just to read. He never commented on it. He said he was too scared to read it. If it wasn’t so long for this blog format I would post it. One part really had me laughing which referred to him telling my sister he sent us some money in the mail. But that my mom or step-dad intercepted the mail so we couldn’t get it. However, he didn’t know my sister was the first one to get home everyday and check the mail. So i guess she stole it from herself. LMAO!

SUPERMAN DAT O

So here’s the deal. Most dudes have been in the situation when you’ve been trying all night to sleep with a certain young lady.Y’all have been messing around for hours & you’ve tried everything from ‘I’ll still respect you in the morning’ to ‘Just let me put the head in’ but she keeps shutting you down hard like a faulty car trunk. Well, according to our songwriter/rapper Soldija Boy, now’s the time to give up and ‘Superman Dat O’!!! So basically, you let her fall asleep and you commence to ‘take things into your own hands’, you know, make it a party for one! Hopefully you catch my drift.You then ‘release’ on her back while she’s sleeping. Next, you take the sheets and cover her up with your little soldiers still on her back. W hat happens next is actually the funny part! Throughout the night, your liquid love will dry and wind up sticking the sheet to that lovely lady’s back. When she awakens the next morning, she’ll stand up with a sheet stuck to her back like a cape!

DuShawn Glad you told that story. I was having a conversation w/ my mom recently about how so many people now think of relationships as disposable. I can’t tell you how many phone calls I’ve gotten from people who were having a rough period w/ their spouse, sleeping in separate rooms like you and your wife, and they were ready to throw it all away. Usually over something they each knew they didn’t need to be doing, but were too stubborn to stop. I keep trying to tell folks, “it’s cheaper to keep her!” And if they don’t believe me, they do when I quote them a fee to get divorced!

It’s a shame people don’t more real effort into a relationship and adulthood than they do.

Dushawn I am with your wife on the money logic…I get cheap with guy’s money as if it’s my own. I had an ex that took me to South Beach and I tried on these shoes without knowing how much. I thought $150-$200. So when I liked them and said that I wanted them the sales lady said they were $750.00. My man was pulling out his wallet and said that was nuts and I would not let him do that. However, I did say if you wanna blow $800 put it on my next condo payment. You can call me crazy but you can’t call me stupid! I know what counts! LOL

Slim when your dad picked you up you should have walked away saying, Pligga Neeze”” in the words of ARed!

Willie I have not spoken to bio-dad since 2001. I ran into him at his parents house when I went to visit them in 2005 and since he was with his friends out front. His first and only words to me in 4 years were insults. So since he belittled me…I did it right back in front of his friends and that has been the last words ever uttered to that man. He is a sad old womanizing person who gets off on putting others down. I don ot need his negativity in my life. I have a dad so I dont need him. At least yours admitted that he was lousy….mine thinks because he shot some sperm to help create me that no matter what he does to me I am supposed to take it and keep quiet. I have never been that way…even as a 3 year old child who stood up to him when I felt he treated me wrong.

Jewel & Kym Off topic My position regarding the saggin pants issue is ambivalent. I think it’s a ridiculous fashion trend that makes our youth look like buffoons. However, I don’t think it should be a legal matter. There is a conscious, deliberate conspiracy by the powers that be in this country to give as many black youths felony records as possible. This takes away their true power of citizenship…. the right to vote. Between the ages of 11 and 30 I was stopped and searched by police at least once a year. It was always you fit the description of ….., or you didn’t come to a complete stop…. or some other fictitious bullshyt. Now under the guise of public decency, they have come up with another avenue for harassment and random searches. What’s so ingenious about this plan is they have some black politicians leading the way. I would venture to say 50% of the kids walking around saggin, got some weed in their pocket. In my opinion, if these types of ordinances are passed, they will equate to 50% more felony convictions 50% less votes, and 50% less politicians elected with our communities best interest at heart. Just food for thought.

Are you someone that prefers to be child-free?

Yes

If so, have you always felt this way?

No, it was my Dream to a father and a husband, to know the joy of holding my child high knowing it was a part of me. But through out my own experinces in life I have realized that this Dream had to be Sacrificed for my own well being.

How does this impact your dating life?

I do not date.

Would you consider a “co-parenting” arrangement with someone you know?

…… I don’t have sucker wrote on my forehead, need I say more.

If you could only choose between having a child or having a marriage, which would you choose?

I’d adopt a child.

Have you ever dated someone who doesn’t want children and you do?

No

You know DuShawn, I was going to post a counterpoint to the saggin pants issue. Hadn’t quite collected my thoughts. But you are right. I am not fully abreast of the wave across the country to make it illegal, but notwithstanding, I think this is another opportune time for the adults to stand up and show our youth a more excellent way. It might be another plot, but why should we make it easy? Why stand at the bottom of the cliff, looking up at the rocks as they come crashing down? (I know. Not the best metaphor…this is off the cuff.) Somehow, we must embrace our youths’ need to gravitate to negative behavior and teach them self-pride and that they are of GREAT value. We have talked about raising children on the blog today. One key factor in raising your child is to know how to lift them up, not simply berate them and tell them that they are wrong.

How would I feel about my wife being a basically loaning her uterus?

I wouldn’t care for it at all. Even if it were family or friends. Heck, I don’t even loan money to most of my family why would I loan my wife’s womb?!?! My sound selfish, but it is what it is!!!

Sexyleggs trust me I have bled mentally over the years from his torture whenever I did see him. My aunt (mami’s sis) tries to get me to talk him with the, “if something happens to him” talk. I am like..I do not wish him bad…but I am numb so it would not affect me.

Jewel I agree with you. Kids are so easily influenced. What’s funny is that if every rapper started wearing their pants jacked up high like Erkle on Family Matters and made that the new cool style, saggin would no loger be an issue.

As a thirty year old man that still wears white t’s, and does from time to time sag…I have to say this.

From then to now, my wardrobe signified my inclusion in nothing, did not belie my intellect, nor did it make me less of a man.

To those that deemed me a criminal (while making straight “A’s”), and to those who would write me off now as immature, I would say……

SCREW YOU! The clothes are comfortable and cheap, they wear just about anywhere I go, and when the occassion presents itself, I have everything from Cosby sweaters to a form flattering Tuxedo (and yes I own it).

So the next time you see one of the young boys with his draws showing think, he may not be able to do better…but tell him to pull them pants up before you break the azz he got left.

“It takes a community to raise a child” At least it did with me, and I’m glad they took the time
