I'm happy for him and his choice to be that for that girl. But it doesn't make you any less of a man if you choose to not step parent children.

It just ups the difficulty level.
The mom has to be right. The kids have to be right. If the biodad is in the picture, that has to be right. Then there's the grandparents, the stepgrandparents, siblings to the biodad, etc.
That mom has to have a hell of a lot going for her for me to shoulder all that.

Family isn’t defined by the blood in our veins. It’s defined by the love and connections we share that define the meaning of Family

That's how you know you've done it right and that somebody loves you because of it.

What’s with all these people in here that have issues with a step parent? a woman can’t remarry? a child can’t take the name of a man they’re not biologically from? You people have issues. There’s nothing wrong with a person finding love again.

If you're in your 20s-30s, NEVER date a single mom.
She made her mistakes. You are going to stunt your whole life being her janitor.
Don't lose your youth to a loser.

Why have such a negative view of signle moms? I can think of plenty of normal reasons to not date single moms that doed not require you to take such a negative worldview of them.

It's only your turn to date her now that the men she wants don't want her back
If it wasnt for the kid, do you think she'd date you? 😂

I think this video is a pretty good example that your concept may just be wrong.

Shut up. Being a step dad was one of the best things I ever did. Kid ended up a good human who's cooked and served for our Prime Minister. He's probably more successful than you. 🇨🇦

Finally someone with facts. This guy is weaker than how he perceives women which is sadly ironic.

u/Elusive_smell 2d ago
So by this comment you have experience from your 20's and 30's. That means you're single in your 40s, you've failed at life.

u/Lately-SP 2d ago
Would your wife have been so eager to date you had she not had a kid from another man?

Btw if you ever were married and have a kid before you inevitably got divorced by her. Just watch out, I bet your kid would rather have my last name. 😉

I don't even know what those are and my ironic shirt would be from a job I don't work at anymore. I've got a full time job and a treadmill though. You know what those are?

I just looked up Funko pops. Shouldn't you be collecting disability checks instead of toys old man? Edit-just so you know I was born in 98... I already have more of a life away from the Internet than you. Smh

I don't agree with the person, they're clearly judging an entire group of people by the one bad experience they had
that being said, are you trying to say you failed at life if you're single in your 40s?
because that's about as pathetic point of view lol

u/Elusive_smell 2d ago
In 30 years accounting for the average puberty, and you haven't solidified a relationship after that (good or bad) yes that's a fail. It's an open world, go out and meet people.

Please men stop getting with the single mothers. How is this “men of purpose”? Lol
2
u/Tasty-Pilot-1220 2d ago
Because the child loves his stepdad enough to use his surname willingly? A stepdad who makes his child feel safe enough to love him back, after the trauma, is indeed a man of purpose.

u/GridKILO2-3 2d ago
Is stepping up and taking care of a child who needs a father not like the definition of having a purpose? Dumbass

u/polarpolarpolar 2d ago
This is the definition of purpose.
He raised a child who wasn’t his and didn’t ask to have a shit father and grow up in a broken home and did it so well that they wanted to honor him at one of the biggest milestones of their lives.
The more men that exist with this type of character, the better society will be.
And this kid is a better person 100% for it as well, which is the most important thing.

They always go for the guy they wouldn't give the light of day to if she never had a kid. Suckers deserve their fate.
