  • idk about marrying but I’m in my early 40s and have long term dated a few mothers, some with kids in their late teens. In short, it entails responsibility and tact.

    Being a recurring kinda-parental / adult figure in a kid’s life has an impact on their notion of what adults do, don’t do and what kind of adult they aspire to be. This entails responsibility. Forming any kind of meaningful bond then having it go away has an impact on anyone, but on children it can be harsher. If you have a heart you don’t mess around with a mother that you’re not really interested in and you should only meet their kids if you’re serious in wanting something stable/long term.

    Basically It entails a lot of responsibility that you can either assume or risk making not only the mother’s, but some poor kids’ lives harder. If you don’t care about any of that, that’s up to you (but also, you’re an asshole).

    Lots of wonderful women are mothers, though, and many are more than worth the extra care.





  • Fair enough. Just grabbed one of the first images a search threw. Sorry if it was out of context or portrayed you unfairly. And of course people propagandize about you too. Anyone with a strong enough voice will get bad faith critiques thrown against them and many will be with political intent.

    I do think this is a fair example to exemplify the point I was trying to make, though. Your quote being out of context does not nullify its dychotomical political intent and makes my point stronger.

    Propaganda is hard to identify when you’re predisposed to believe it, it’s everywhere and people propagate it without even noticing.
