Default Re: dating girl w/ kid issues

I don't know, man. He's 3 y/o, mother lives there, father lives there. If you love her, gon' commit to her fully, be a father figure to the kid, not his daddy. Talk to the woman about how you both'll handle the stuff, tell her you'll be there for her and him (assuming that you want to).

Just be a solid dude. Treat the kid like he's older than he is, say, look, man, this is bothering your mom, you're not making her happy, maybe listen to her more, you get to do more with her and yourself and you both won't fight all the time. Basically, treat the kid with respect, don't underestimate them. Too many parents already do that.

It's a huge investment of time and commitment, man. If you're gonna do it, do it 100%.
