Men, have you ever been prowling the net and located a fantastically attractive lady who is single and who seems available and started up a good conversation with her and have everything going well, like she’s within travel distance to meet, seems to like you, has many interests that match yours, and just generally turns you on? Have you ever done this in the real world, where you meet such a lady in a bar, at the beach, in a store or whatever and get real interested and hopeful because she hits all of the right nerves you have?
Then have you suddenly discovered that she has a couple of kids? Not just kids but UGLY boys which leads you to believe that their daddy had to be a knuckle dragger? You can tell by looking at their pictures that they just have to get into trouble and probably are on the grade school principals most troublesome list? Then there is no doubt, once you meet them, that not only do they not like you but probably no one else either. So, what do you do?
If you want a serious relationship with the fantastic lady, then the kids come along also. She turns you on to the degree that you want more than just a casual encounter but her kids turn you off. I mean these are NOT the usual cute little tikes one often sees but appear to be those destined to spend much time in Bubba’s Booze and Flooze when they get older and probably frequent guests of the State. Not to mention that she has this little tendency to let them run wild. So, what do you do?
Dump the girl reluctantly and hope to fine one like her without someone else’s demon seed?
Stay with the girl and urge that the daddy take the kids?
Stay there and try to whip the kids into line?
Leave leaflets about adoption around the house?
Run screaming into the night?
Stay and get ulcers because her idea of child discipline and yours don’t match at all and hope the kids turn 18 and leave?
I had that dilemma once. Absolutely gorgeous lady, turned me on all over the place, sweet and nice, just a wonderful girl but she had these two little hellions of ages 8 and 9 from an ex-boyfriend whose knuckles not only dragged the ground but wore false teeth at 25 from having most of his knocked out in bar fights. Her idea of controlling the little darlings was mainly to say no, which they promptly ignored and when I came into their lives, with my loud voice, ORDERING them to stop doing some stuff and grabbing them physically, they did not like that at all. One keyed my car. They made a fuss when I had to take them to dinner with us and annoyed everyone in the restaurant. I had to shake them down after going to a department store to make sure half of the merchandise did not walk out with them, unpaid for, and taking them on an outing to a park to try to be nice usually involved me having to keep them from smacking or shoving the other kids.
I reluctantly left and some girl I know bitched at me about it, claiming that I should have accepted the little bastards if I wanted the lovely lady. I just couldn’t. I miss her but not those two future thugs of America.
All right, men. What would you have done?
