Recently I’ve been faced with a situation that’s new to me. Baby momma drama. At the ripe age of 42 I’ve dealt with men in the past who have had children from previous relationships, but this is the first time I’ve ever encountered baby momma drama. My stand on the situation is, if my guy (we’ll call him ‘Dude’) and I are planning to get married, I would like to have a cordial relationship with his kid’s mother(s). You know, like the Will and Jada thing. WRONG! This chick and I were off to a good start. I wanted to make sure he was meeting his obligations as a dad and she informed me that while he was sending his court-ordered support, she didn’t feel it was enough. (When do we ever?) She then tells me she’s enrolled this 5 year old in private school and to let Dude know that he needs to send such-n-such a month to cover that. *side eye* Now, he has other children that he has custody of and they attend public school just fine. Private school is a private decision and he had no part of that decision so………….. Um……. *side eye*. Yesterday I made a comment about my bridesmaids on my Facebook page and I guess she saw it and it made reality set in that he’s getting married (although she knew we were fiancéd up). She sends a bitter message telling me she filed to have him arrested because he’s neglecting their kid and blah, blah, blah. Why Boo? Why can’t we get along? I was operating in the interest of the child and now baby momma drama has gotta mess it up with attitude. Single mothers, move on. The men do so why shouldn’t we? Let’s not hold on to what could have been. It keeps us hoping in the past while hindering us from having a peaceful future. If you had your chance and it didn’t work out, for the sake of the kids, and your sanity, just be a woman about it….Let Go and move on. He has.
