12734816, Single Folk: You Have Any Serious Half-On-A-Baby Propositions Right Now?
Posted by MrThomas43423, Tue Feb-24-15 01:01 PM
or i guess as serious as they can be. but gotdamn....shit like that is real. i think its women who would have to initiate that talk (in my case it is), but there's this range of about 29 to 41 that may not need love and happiness, but would like a baby and the love and happiness that brings. add in some strong genes, and propositions happen.

financially i think it would be damn near impossible for it to be profitable. for some reason it doesn't seem the same as a 2 income household having a child (cause its not), but maybe an arrangement can be reached where it doesn't feel like child support would be beating up one person more than the other.

but i don't know. WHAT IF SHE'S FUCKING BISEXUAL AND YOUR CAN BE WITH HER AND STILL GET OTHER BITCHES AND SHIT? WHAT ABOUT THAT SHIT NIGGA?!?!?! what the fuck?

12734870, it went from being kinda like a joke to understanding that its serious
Posted by MrThomas43423, Tue Feb-24-15 01:39 PM
it used to be hahaha....half on a baby. baby mamma....baby daddy....hahahaha. but its real. i wonder if the realness is an older age thing. doesn't make it practical at all, but people do non-practical shit all the time.

He said he just wanted to see it? Same dude that was telling me that he would really like a child, and we'd be excellent parents. Gave me his game plan pretty much and how'd he'd go back into stock trading to support us. How I'd be so lucky to have a child by him. 0_o

One of my exes stayed taking the condom off and onetime poked holes in one.

Others have simply asked, "If I wanted a child with you, would you have my baby?". They seem to think ill be a great mom. They're right I will be, but I still have a damn roommate! My ideas of marriage do change often but I'd like to be married before having children. My life is not together to have a kid and not worry about expenses right now.

I go through baby fever but I want better for my child more than I want the child itself.
12734949, wow. that's so.....wow. my whole like i've been like wife then baby
Posted by MrThomas43423, Tue Feb-24-15 02:24 PM
wife.....baby. like that's the only plan i had. i understand that accidents happen, but to purposefully want to have a child outta wedlock is like some twilight zone shit. but its people on that shit. like for real on that shit.

She has the right idea about being a parent.
12734889, nah, a lot of dudes try it... just to stay connected
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Feb-24-15 01:58 PM
they ain't changing diapers tho
12734971, which is why I never fell for that okeydoke
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Tue Feb-24-15 02:32 PM
NOAP
I don't need that kinda drama in life. Not now, not ever.
12734862, this makes no sense to me

like people who are just so single minded in their desire for a baby. why would you want the latter without the former, or think that the latter will bring you the former?
12734875, every case isn't the same

and baby's do bring joy. it happens all the time. we hear about women who never wanted children, having a child and it being the "joy of their lives" and all that.

12734887, low expectations vs high expectations of joy
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Feb-24-15 01:56 PM
12734890, yeah but i feel like the opposite of that is way more frequent

babies CAN bring joy. Is that why people have kids though? for joy? I thought that was just supposed to be an added bonus. Because there's a whole lot else that they also bring.
12734969, lets change it from babies to parenthood
Posted by MrThomas43423, Tue Feb-24-15 02:31 PM
i think that if you don't want to have a baby, but rather want to be a parent then you're signing up for everything that can bring. good and the bad.

12734879, a baby never fills the void
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Feb-24-15 01:45 PM
12734963, it wouldn't feel your "void". and it wouldn't feel my "void"
Posted by MrThomas43423, Tue Feb-24-15 02:30 PM
but some women like motherhood. and if motherhood is a void you feel, then a baby would certainly fill that void.

12735024, 7/10 that void doesn't have shit to do with motherhood per se
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Tue Feb-24-15 02:57 PM
and everything to do with receiving/giving unconditional love. And that's not a problem that should be put on a child ever.
12735063, yup, it's usually because they want someone to love them back
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Feb-24-15 03:19 PM
but after a few nights of the baby crying they tap out and give the baby to their mother to raise and go right back out in those streets.
12735156, you know my cousin?!

12734893, It seems emotionally irresponsible on the surface.
Posted by Kira, Tue Feb-24-15 02:01 PM
You (to the OP or anyone on this board) do realize that wanting a child and raising one are two entirely different things, right? Half on a baby sounds easy on paper. Good luck with that arrangement as the child ages. It just seems like they're doing it to fill a void and not considering the long-term ramifications of raising a child in an environment without love.

*EDIT after rereading post*

This is not a good idea. That woman becomes emotionally attached at some point as does the father. In other words, that financial arrangement becomes meaningless at some point. I know women that take this same approach to marriage and children. It works for some but doesn't work for the rest of them. Doing something because you're supposed to do it and is a good way to kill yourself and become miserable down the line. People notice this happening even if you don't notice it.
12734894, thank God for contraception...
Posted by morpheme, Tue Feb-24-15 02:01 PM
i'd be a baby mother on fleek.

as a woman
i would not advise a man to procreate with a woman who *just* wants to have a baby.
she type delusional.
12734913, ^^^^ pretty much

Posted by Very-Effortless, Tue Feb-24-15 02:17 PM
Would like holes in condoms, hide my BC... But he was military and they are basically indoctrinated to procreate early and often.

He was legit upset when I got my period.

But I do have a personal deadline at 35 to make a baby but I have a found anyone with genes I want yet.
12734975, all that sneak shit is weird to me
Posted by MrThomas43423, Tue Feb-24-15 02:33 PM
but you and this timeline....is it adjustable to concrete? what happens when you hit 35? cause i mean....its not far kiddo. ya'll aren't far behind me.

in the condom?

12735441, I have never heard of a dude poking a hole in a condom...like ever
Posted by Castro, Wed Feb-25-15 01:32 AM
12735068, nope! but i'm also old so no one wants my oven
Posted by teefiveten, Tue Feb-24-15 03:22 PM
for a baby
and im cool with that
12735101, Yep.
Posted by Sha, Tue Feb-24-15 03:40 PM
I've gotten propositions.
I LOL every time.
These same dudes like to remind me of my age and feign concern for my ovaries. To which I respond, I'm good.

On another note...Niggas, (I say this from the bottom of my heart...cause yall niggas when you accept this mess)...If a chick that is "bi or lesbian" asks you to impregnate them and they say you won't be on papers...get that shit notarized. I know several dudes who were caught up in that moment and are now assed out!
12735150, nope.
Posted by wbgirl, Tue Feb-24-15 04:27 PM
and since i never planned on giving birth anyway, i am totally ok with this. now, if someone comes along and wants me to play stepmom to their kid(s), i might could be down with that.

just sayin'.

Posted by murderbear, Tue Feb-24-15 05:57 PM
*cue Back to Life acapella*

no commitment
no relationship
no financial responsibility

actually, i was in a relationship, and she knew that

the way she broke it down to me was that she found so many of my characteristics appealing, and i already had exhibit a in the making gorgeous-ass children category

she just wanted me for my lightskin and curly hair :(

jokes on her cuz i am bald now.....

started off clicking and sniggling

Can they come back and ask for child support?
12735440, Nah..That isn't a conversion that I would entertain..
Posted by BabyYoda, Wed Feb-25-15 01:28 AM
Half on a baby seems like a recipe for drama down the line. I am someone who will discuss children AFTER marriage. No marriage, no baby! As for getting with someone who switch hit...Seems cool for thrills, but when it comes to starting a family, I don't believe in sharing partners(willingly or not). Either me and the woman jump the broom or stay childless(me). However, in my situation, many women already have kids, so I don't think about being in such a situation.

If it works for you or anyone else, then go for yours . To each one's own..

12735445, my (recent) ex one day was like "let's have a baby"
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Feb-25-15 02:18 AM
right then i told her "awwww, baby, sure!"

the next day, i went out looking for an abortion clinic that sold gift certificates.
