    --------
    In a recent discussion with Vlad, TK Kirkland shared his views on why men should avoid taking on the role of stepfathers. TK and Vlad explored the idea that men can frequently become overwhelmed by the pressures and responsibilities of becoming a stepfather, leading to emotional, financial and psychological strain. TK discussed the case of a friend who found himself depressed and financially burdened after taking on his girlfriend's children, highlighting the pitfalls of such a situation and suggesting that men can naïvely enter into these relationships, driven by desire and infatuation without considering the full extent of the commitment. Vlad concurred, reflecting on his own uncomfortable experience dating a woman with a child. They conclude that many people are fearful of being alone or meeting new partners, leading to a cycle of damaging relationships and stepping into roles they are not equipped for.

      Yup, they prey on certain men. I had one woman already try to be slick and ask me to translate something for her and then asked me to exchange numbers so I can help her with her son and his friend and understand what’s going on between them and even said we can go grab a few drinks and go back to her place and try to figure this out…😂😂 I told her that’s her problem and use google translate. I’m good.😂

      Be wary of heeding the advice of a man who has NEVER been married but is a baby daddy many times over. Any single woman who deals with TK Kirkland faces similar questions of responsibility. And she'll most likely have to accept that he is not the marrying kind, so she'll be single for life!

      @@rightbackentertainment4590 The fact that you said exceptions don't make the rule is the saddest part of your whole point honestly. Sorry for whatever ya went through situationally, to have this assessment but hopefully you overcome it. It's not the exception, it's a societal issue that needs addressing. Do you want to understand how you raise a man? Don't lie, you say what you do and do what you say, yeah it's hard work, but how are you going to teach those concepts now without living them in parallel? Women it's the same thing, but this is where you need a woman to do the same thing, since we look to our parents to understand and emulate if we grow. Raising children is literally in our genetic code, the key is to understand there are zero shortcuts, will always be zero shortcuts.
      The reason the lady said love and be involved is because of course you're involved if you love that person why wouldn't you be? The answer here is insecurities, deep held shame and all that other stuff if you want to know the theory. It all breaks down to trust, and commitment to upholding this trust.
      I went to private school so I know folks who got entire estates for their 16th but the poison of a gift given in guilt at something that is truly priceless will always manifest. For how big and important our parents were or whatever they did, when my old man said "you're my kid, I'll be there," then showed up, that is what mattered. Looking back now I understand the pride I felt but also I see the turmoil in some peers eyes as they start wondering what they're worth and what the bargain is...
      I truly hope that one day you read a comment like this and can feel a sense of happiness for whomever this is, and just agree.

    I don’t deal with men that have kids because I don’t have any. I think people with no kids should date each other and that people with kids should date each other. Even IF this were the norm the step parent situation would still exist. The only way the step parent problem goes away is if no one ever broke up, everyone waited until marriage before having kids, an individual decides to remain alone or no one ever died. The only thing you can really do is try to pick the best partner, be the best partner you can be, and hope for the best.

    Personally, I don't think I could date someone who's still tied to their ex in any capacity. Maybe I'm insecure, but the thought of you still keeping in contact with someone that you now have a soul tie with feels like I'm intruding on a dead marriage where both parties are separated. Plus I don't like putting resources and interest into a kid that's not mine whose father is more than likely still active in his life. I honestly think you should marry the person if you have a child together. You're basically tied to life with that person for "better or worse" anyway.

      Marrying someone you have a child with, to some guys, may sound good on the surface if the child or children don't have siblings from other men. If a woman also has other kids by a different father, then those children can legally become his "by default" and his money, assets, resources, and legacy becomes all the children's and potentially their real dad's and their dad's side of the family after a stepfather dies and if his biological child or children with his wife die (unless otherwise legally and appropriately stipulated). It may not sit well with some stepfathers to have another man or men (or their side of the family) potentially benefit from all his hard work or any money, resource, assets, and money the stepfather has left after death. Hopefully, if a man marries a woman with other children who are not his, then he can live with his decision.

    My BM tried to replace me with the new dude. I had to go through a lot. I tried to be cordial. Dude was talkin shit about me to my daughter. My BM wanted my daughter to call him step dad and all. I wasn’t having that at all. BM gets mad at me but fast forward a few years and they’re not together and now she a single mom with 3 kids and 2 baby daddy’s and she shares not 1 last name with any of the children🤦🏾‍♂️ I told this would happen and I was actually wanted to be a family that’s how I was raised. My parents were married for 54 years, Grandparents on mom’s side were married for 70 plus years until my grandma passed. Same thing on my father’s side. I was young and should’ve looked at her family life. Mom and dad not married so how does she know anything about keeping a family together she doesn’t cuz she’s never seen it with her family. Both of her sister got different baby daddy’s I should seen the red flags but no I was “in love” but never again

      You gotta always look at they upbringing, look at the way the moms behave and you will know who your dealing with.
      If the dad is there, look at his role , is he a Alpha or a lap dog beta male.
      Ran by the wife.
      She comes from a single mother lead home, she will be of that mindset .
      What they see is what they often times emulate.

They also didn't mention that sometimes the kids get older and think they're stronger than you then as a man you need to he ready to defend yourself and show them who's boss. Then the kids could turn on you after all you've done for them and the father could be dead or not around and those kids will still respect him because that's their biological father. Not to mention if the biological fathers around, he's always gonna cause division in your relationship or household because he has a kid that you're taking care of and the woman that you care for and it's just best to get your own woman and start your own family.
