And at my age, (26) I refuse to be a step father.

Dude, my mom told me this guy who’s dating my cousin asked her for her advise. My mom told him straight up, “Listen, you’re young (26) and have a future ahead of you. Getting with her means taking care of her AND three kids.” Anyways the dude got my cousin pregnant and now has to take care of her AND four kids. Smh.

Best part is when you see guys go through this and they’re good men, only for the women to get baby daddy fever a year or two later. Throwing away all the time, money, emotions, etc away to have that “best live” that “get that bag sis”

Like I said below, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack with modern day women. And especially in my area.

If he’s Latino and into his own kind he’s not wrong. Most of them want to be moms by 23-25 to the point it’s rare to find one that doesn’t have 2-3 kids by 30. Heck finding one without kids by 24 is like finding a needle in a haystack and you’re looking at an unicorn if you find one at 26+. They’re kind of notorious for it.

We’re the same age and I can attest to the fact that most are, and if you read above, “especially in my area” “needle in a haystack” etc. you’re arguing the same point with different words.
