Nikka your choice but matter of time before you two will be scrapping "You ain't my daddy" and she will make the ultimate choice in taking his side. Have fun ......

I couldn't do it because I wouldn't be able to beat his ass when he acts up.

If she ain't holding the house down, it is going to be hell. Unless she is more financially secure than you, I would stay away.

Yep, my I'm a step father to my ex-wife's daughter... I raised since she was 18 months old, she is now 20 :wow:

So, that is the reason why I said to not do it. Enjoy life, enjoy your time and your money. This next go-around - I'm not raising another child that is not mine, again.


Can I ask what your relationship with het is like? Do you love her as your own?

Sounds like you're projecting a bit, IMO. :cpagehubie:

It's possible to be emotionally invested right away. Just depends on where your head's at.

Everyone experiences love differently, and I wouldn't dare assume anyone else's experience is like my own. :kanyebp:
Yea, I get if it’s six months of “hanging out” vs six months of dating exclusively, but I know of bunch of people who were in love and/or loved their partner by month six of serious dating. Whatever. I don’t see the six month mark as an issue especially given how big of a commitment and adjustment it will be for the non parent to acclimate to a kid being part of the equation. Imagine waiting a year for that person to then realize they’re not feeling it, you’ve both wasted much more time.

I'm legit nervous, brehs. :lupe:

I'm 30 with no kids. Been dating this girl from Chicago for a while. Just hung out with her & her son for the first time. His father's not around and is an alcoholic Hotep-type. :mjlolhairfade:

Lil breh is cool, but he's mad sarcastic to his mom, almost to the point being disrespectful. :francis:

I know if I talked to my momma like he does, I wouldn't have a face :picard:

I've been married before, but idk if I'm ready to get married again, let alone step into a father's role.

Thoughts?

All I will say is that there is a HUGE difference between having a step kid under 11 and a step kid over 11.
Whatever it's like now.. you have to almost start again at 12-13 & it's way harder.

Boys are easier than girls mind.

Good luck, don't put any pressure on the relationship.. keep it cool.

PS:

The one positive is that being a mother brings a loving side to a woman which is fantastic.
She will look after you more than a non mother. (If that makes sense) it's like a right of passage and a maturity.
