few years and find someone whose kids are grown. You don't have to raise the ex's kids, you don't have to worry about whether she's going to age well, and you don't have to deal with a large age/maturity g

Raised my step son from the time he was three. He is like my own child. It took his parents and step parents working together to raise him. Today he has 4 step children and is a great Dad. Can't have his own children. I am proud of the man he has become. I would do it again in a heartbeat

Kids, yours or hers, need a male figure in their lives.

I wouldn't have a problem with it.
I was suggesting the best course for the OP.

It's easy. I've got two adopted kids. It's no different than if they weren't adopted.

Much respect for you brother. If I was in the situation I'm sure I would feel different.

This entire affair is sordid and trashy. The post, the sentiment, the predicament. Unseemly.

Raising another mans kids
it's not the kids per se, it's what they represent.
I saw this couple today. The girl was very pretty and decently put together(not overtly trash). She was with this obvious trade school dreg of a white white guy with a supercuts version of the Odell Beckham hair cut and FUBU looking baggy pants
Cheeseball, dime-a-dozen white trash camaro/charger/mustang with tinted windshields and rims.
Most would say something along the lines of "Why is she with that douche? Or, I wish I was dating her". But not me, I'm at the 'I hope he beats the shite out of her, knocks her up, and leaves her with a genetically inferior child'.......and there's no way in Hell I'm saving her from the Hell of her own creation. You choice, your problem.

Yeah because no guy has ever struggled with the thought of raising someone else's child. Great post man.

At my age, upper 30's it's hard to find a woman without a kid unless you want one that's 20. I like fricking a 20yo as much as the next guy but I don't want a relationship with one. What does the OT feel about it? Any of you baws raising another mans kids? If so then more power to you. It can't be easy.
dude seriously - get one of the desperate 31-33 year olds. They're all over the dating sites. No kid, maybe a little crazy, and SUPER grateful

If you were society, would you want more of the genetic characteristics of your step-father or bio-father passed around?

I am raising another mans 10 and 7 year old sons. He died in a car wreck 5 years ago. We're getting married on the 20th of February and I honestly can't wait to be a part of their lives every day.
In the two and a half years we've been together, I'd be lying if I said every day was easy. There are some tough times and situations do deal with. But for the most part, all of her close friends and family members have done nothing but respected me for wanting to raise the boys.
They good times out weigh the bad heavily. Yes, I do get the "well you're not my dad" talk back from the little one every once in a while (which he was 2, he doesn't even remember him. He just bases his logic behind stories he has been told)
But I love them just as much as I love their momma.

do you have kids of your own, and from what you know about him, would he have been a good father to yours(hypothetically)?

The man who raised me was my step-father. He became my "real" dad. You sound like a loser. I'm glad I didn't get stuck with someone like you.

I knew of him, might have met him a handful of times maybe. He was a great dad to them from what I can tell, so I'm going to say that if the roles with me and him were reversed that yes, he would have been a good father to my sons.
No, don't have any of my own. My biological dad got caught up Edwin Edwards some how and him and my mom basically lost everything when I was 3. My step-dad became my real dad. My biological father was banned to be in the same city as me and my sisters so we had little contact with him. I have spoken to him in recent years though. Guess it's the unknown getting to me.

They are children not
I raised two girls since they were 3 and 4 years old to 19 and 20 year olds. Couldn't be prouder of the way they both turned out because I don't think they would be as successful without me in their life.
I have 3 more of my own and never treated those two any different. If you think kids are a burden then you should never have kids.

It's my one deal breaker, but then again I'm 26 in a place where young single moms aren't common.

Edwards broke up your family too?
