Children and baggage

I have a friend who was in this situation. She seperated from her husband and when she was dating somebody else he told her he wasn't interested in her excess baggage. Well, I can say, I was furious when I heard this and I told my friend that she was better off without this type of person. She subsequently dated lots of guys who loved her children and she eventually met and married a truly wonderful person who adores her and her children. These people who call children of single women 'baggage' are few and far between and it is best to just forget about them.

The children of tomorrow are not baggage, they are simply the next generation to run this country. The baggage term is just a slang term used for single parent(mother or father) who are dealing with raising their children along and yet looking for another partner. I guess if advise were to be given, combining two single parent families just might be the way to go as both are accustomed to this struggle and can definately relate with each other...just a few thoughts....

I don't think they really know they are being insulting when they use the term baggage. When I think of someone with excess baggage, I am not concerned about the guy having children so much as he still has a relationship with the mother of those children. I dated a guy who was divorced and had two children. I was alone with my baby daughter. I was hesitant to get involved with him because of his so-called baggage. I just pictured a lot of drama, and trying to get someone else's children to like me. I'm not all that great with someone else's kids. In the end, he told me he had had a vasectomy and wasn't going to have anymore children. That sealed his fate because I definitely wanted more children. There was no point getting involved in a relationship that wasn't going to give me what I wanted. If people aren't meant to be together, then they aren't meant to be together. A guy can use the term excess baggage as an excuse rather than give another reason. What it boils down to is he isn't worth it, and not really meant for you to begin with.

Well i dont think children are baggage,i think children are the most beautiful beings that GOD have created without them this world would not suffice much longer,its their innocence thats running this world,well you can have an example of a tree if we adults are trees than they are the fruit/flower of this tree and without them there wont be any charm left for anyone in the tree for itself. Perhaps its because of the culture aswell in west there isnt time left for people to entertain their children but where i am we enjoy being children and really adore the beauty of nature in them,their laugh their smile is just another thing to give some hope for the entire humanity.
