at these pagents. Not all of the men sitting there are fathers, grandfathers, uncles...there are perverts window-shopping out there

Sorry, but Charles is not only not "all that" but he isn't even half of that. Go straight to a divorce lawyer and let Charles explain all this to a judge. 

I dont really have a problem with the cousins.  And, contrary to what 1 post said, 2nd cousins are no more likely to have a child with genetic problems than 2 strangers, per Dr. Phil. 

As far as Chuck goes, though....I dont understand why statutory rape charges haven't been filed on him.  If this were my child,  Chuck or I would be in jail. 

One thing about both couples: their united front against naysayers will keep them together for awhile.  Both couples have that "us against the world, our love will prevail" mentality. 

Sorry, ladies, but I side with the man on this one.  He made it perfectly clear he didn't want to be a father.  The fact that she claimed to be on the Pill and unable to have children for other medical reasons sounds fishy to me.  I'm doubting both facts as being true.  I was on birth control for 10 years before my first pregnancy.  It works 99% of the time if used correctly.  Could she have been lax about taking the pill every day at the same time of day as the instructions say because she thought she had a medical condition preventing her from conceiving?  Smells a lot like fraud to me.  She wanted the baby, knew darn well he did not, so she should take full financial responsibility.  Sorry!

I am a parent of 2 (planned) little girls.  I don't consider my respnsibilities "over" when they reach 18.  Parenthood is not an 18 year commitment, it is a LIFELONG commitment.  I will be there for mine until the day I die, not until they are of legal voting age.  For the parents who insist upon spouting off about the 18 year deadline, well, good for you I suppose, but I feel bad for the kids.

Ya'll know the saying, Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. 

First off, I fail to see any wonderful traits in step-mom that would warrant dad choosing her over his child.  She's not pretty, obviously does not have a loving, charming personality.  I suspect he is just not ready to admit he made a mistake in having an affair and marrying her in the first place.  Unless he IS totally stupid, he KNOWS he made a huge mistake; he is just not willing to look foolish by admitting it.  Often, when a person has an affair, they realise the person they've been cheating with is just not who/what they thought they were.  Most people are on their best behavior at the beginning of a new relationship, especially when 1 of them is married to someone else.  I'd really like to give this man the benefit of the doubt and think this obvious Witch pulled the wool over his eyes in the beginning, making herself appear human. 

Honestly, I think he's proven just what a bad parent he actually is.  If he would send his baby away for this horrid woman, what other evil is he capable of? 

There is NEVER just cause to stray in a marriage.  If someone is unhappy, they need to end the marriage before shopping for a new partner.  A cheater is nothing but a coward, I don't care what their "reason" is. 

It concerned me to hear that little boy say that.  I'm curious as to which one of his parents said that to them, because those are not the words of an abused child.  Seems to me that his only part in it was existing, at times.  Both older children seem to be walking on egg shells.  I don't think 8 months is enough time for an abuser to that extent to consider herself reformed.  Those who pray, let's pray for this family.  There are far from out of the woods, in my opinion.
