You Knew I Had to Say It

by

I have vaguely been following the situation with Britney Spears getting divorced and how whoever her hubby is is suing for custody of the kids for $. (Who knows if that’s what’s actually going on, I’m sure the tabloids are having a heyday.)

I have considered off and on having more children since I became single. Of course now I’m getting pretty old to be thinking about that (37), but I do get baby hungry every now and then.

I see my kids going from one house to the other and it’s SO hard on them. I’ve decided that if I ever do have kids again, I’ll use a sperm bank and an anonymous donor. I’m not doing this again (trying to get him to take visitation while he’s single, then dealing with him going bonkers and suddenly wanting to see them now that he’s married, trying like hell to get child support, etc…). I think it’d be easier on a child and on me to do it this way.

Mind you, I probably won’t have any more kids. However if I do, this is the way I’ll go. Think that’ll hurt my chances of ever finding another husband? ;) Furthermore, if it does, do I care?

    I think K-fed is all about the money. Just look how much he wants the children of hi POOR ex-girlfriend. He’s pissed that she has an ironclad prenup and will get nothing, so he’s trying to go around that and get money through the kids. What a loser. I’d fee some sympathy if he actually cared for his previous children, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

    I considered adoption for similiar reasons. I figured that way I would have a child that no one could take from me. So I get where your’e coming from.

    Someone I was talking to about this suggested that it is “right” for him to be compensated for providing half the genetic material! I thought.. HEY he got to have sex with Britney Spears! Isn’t that compensation enough??

    ;)

    LOL… well I tell ya. I essentially DID do the donor thing…. the act was just a bit nicer than invetro. ;-) It really IS nice not to have to share with anyone. I know that my son’s Christmases, Birthdays, special school performances will ALL be with ME!

    And no, it doesn’t mean it will hurt your chances to find a nice man… I mean, look at me sistah! ;-)

    I’m all for paternal rights, as long as the father really wants to be a father. This is just one of those times when I really doubt his sincerity. I do have to say that she should have had a little insight to how he would behave based on his relationship with his ex. Maybe this will make her a little less impulsive with her next beau.

    Perhaps that was why she had such an ironclad prenup!
