This list is aimed at young women who often ask themselves if having his baby is the right thing to do. Often these young women are not married and feel that having his baby will bring them closer together.
This is a great indicator that he is a family man. Devotion to parents and siblings attest to his ability to be devoted to you and his future children.
How does he talk about children. Does he pay attention to them, talk to them? When you are around children does he seem comfortable and energetic? If not perhaps you should look elsewhere.
Does he drink too much? Does he drive while drinking, does he get angry while drunk? Ask yourself if you could trust him to drive safely while transporting your baby.
He has a job. He may be working towards a career in college but does he still do everything possible to support himself. If he spends his days laid up on his folks sofa playing video games then he is NOT supporting himself.
He shows respect to all women. From his mom, sisters, friends, acquaintances and even you, does he treat you all as equals? Aman who is comfortable with women is also a man who is comfortable with himself and is more likely to be comfortable with children as well.
Don't take having children lightly. And remember there are certain advantages to being married first. Babies and children need their fathers. When a childs parents are married the child feels much more connected to both parents.
Very helpful list! h5!
Interesting article and conversation.
Great list. I know A LOT of people who should have read this before having kids with certain men!!
Slicings, you hit the proverbial nail :)
I agree. I never planned on having kids and I use to ask myself before I slept with anyone if I could have their kid. The answer turned up no almost all the time. Great list!
I never bred as never found a man with all these great qualities - until, that is, he waltzed into my life when I was 49. Ah, well, we'll just have a gaggle of dogs. Great article though.
Let's help our younger sisters. Share this list wherever you deem appropriate. Thank you!
Yes. I hope lots of young women read this before it's too late.
Thank you Priscilla for taking the plunge. I too wondered about the title. Thank you all for your comments.
Five extremely important attributes for the man who will be the father of your children -- excellent!
I was a little wary to read this because of the title but now I understand it is advice for younger women who might be thinking a baby will keep a man.
Thank you Bossypants! If this helps just one young lady do the best possible then it was well worth writing.
Absolutely! This is the most concise and soundest advice I have read in a long time.
