There was an old woman who lived in a shoe...



There was an old woman who lived in a shoe...

She had so many she didn't know what to do...


So what the hell does she want YOU to do about it, make it your problem too?

Ok, here's the question:

Just HOW MUCH BAGGAGE IS TOO MUCH BAGGAGE?


Let's face it, she already has a strike going against her 'cuz she's OLD, now through poor planning she has a shoeful of to boot? Just where do you draw the line when you decide who you're interested in dating? What "baggage" is acceptable to you and which is not? and, does it make a difference if you're in it for the long haul or just to get some nookie?

(And the same question goes out to the ladies as well)

And if you're the shoe dweller have you noticed any impact when you "shared" with your newly found love interest the actual quantity of you have?

Since I'm looking to generally cut loose and have some fun, I try not to get into situations where people are trying to introduce me to their children.

I think waltzing people in and out of their kids lives is a mistake...(dependent upon their ages)I think those introductions should only be made after the relationship has moved to a "serious-level" status.

On the positive side, since she has all those kids she obviously likes to fuck. And if most or all of them are still living at home, she can't be that old. The poem doesn't indicate the presence of a husband, although it implies his absence. Nor does it say whether all those children had the same father. However, overall, since she doesn't have a private place to play and probably has little time, I'd skip her for anything except a very casual fling.

Like you, I'm out to play, so I'd rather not be considered as potential surrogate father material. Women with grown children or even those in their late teens are okay for the longer term. There are plenty of other kinds of baggage that rule out a woman for the long haul, though. Please come with carry-on only, maximum of two items per passenger, and they must fit under the bed.

The Last time I read anything on the psychology of dating when one or both parties have children, there was strong support for keeping the children "safe" from the new partner for at least 3-4 months.

This means NO introductions.

It's OK for the children to know you are dating, it's healthy and a normal part of being a parent.

After there are feelings for your new friend, there is a need for the kids to get to know this person through the parents eyes by slowly introducing the person during conversation. This puts a positive spin on the children accepting the new person when they meet, and it lessens fears of being replaced by a new person, and it sets some of the stage of role development.

If the parent is just out for fun then have fun it's your business not theirs. All they need to know is you had a good time.

The two of you are very lucky Purry. (obviously it was not only luck involved but patience, committment, understanding, and a lot of hard work)

lol at Dallas and his assessment of "she obviously likes to fuck."

(just curious as to what others responses would be and I took a sarcastic tone while doing it--I mean NO disrepect for those will large families)

We all have baggage of one sort or another, so I think it will likely probably depend upon other factors. "Long-haul" relationships haven't worked out as "forever after" relationships for me, so I try not to expect too much anymore. Couples who have that are truly blessed, and yet they don't always appreciate what they have.

I don't know how much baggage is too much, everybody has some. It probably matters more what the baggage is how much it bothers you.

BTW...speaking of shoes, I really am curious about what's attached to that foot and shoe you keep showing us. Got any other pictures or are we just supposed to imagine?

XOXO

Damn a blog that I couldn't resist to respond to. What I call too much baggage..is emotional baggage. I can't stand women that are a wreck emotionally...you either about it..or your yesterdays leftovers. I kind of scratch my head..maybe being from the country...but I met a girl the other day...here chatting...then we did IM...all she could talk about was how miserable her life was living with her Mom...all I could think was sorry I asked to talk to you. To me...kids...aren't really such a hey step away from thing. You can have like 5 kids...as long as you are emotionally happy and you don't complain about life while introducing yourself...you got my attention. So what are you reading? Cause I'm done here...Cowboy.
