I would take on someone elses kids.
The girl i am seeing has 2 kids, they are great kids, but their dad is a waster. If he wasn;t around i would probablymarry her and adopt the kids, but as he is around and they go there every other weekend i couldnt do that.Comment

2) I would like to have my own kids, and i think it would be a strange dynamic to have 2 out of the 3 disappearing to their dads every weekend and 1 staying behind.
3) If i did have a child with her, while her 2 were still seeing their dad, i would always favour my own one.
4) They have to live close to their dad in central london, and i would like to be further out in the countryComment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI agree with your first point.. must admit I haven't met many people in your second point but there is another set I cannot stand. Those that need to analyse why I don't have kids.. in great detail. They can't understand why I haven't so try and make up excuses for me while asking loads of questions. Very uncomfortable and annoying. I just haven't would enough of an answer for most, but not this set..'Do you not want them 'do you regret it' blah blah..
The answer is a simple matter of never meeting the right bird at the right time. I also fancied foreign birds more than British ones, and that brought cultural differences which didn't always work out. That was particularly noticeable with a Brazilian bird. She was incredibly cheapskate on the food side of things, probably out of historical necessity, but every time she came to stay I would find my cupboards full of crap that I would bin as soon as she went home. Have you ever seen a grey mince dish? (soon resolved with some canned tomatoes and tomato purée, but you get the idea.)
Or putting it another way, the birds I really fancied weren't available and I am not a marriage wrecker.
Work has got in the way too much and living out of a suitcase didn't help when I was younger.Last edited by Sysman; 26 April 2013, 14:29.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
