You don’t have what it takes to marry a single mother that’s tolerance and understanding, you are pissed off because the innocent boy plays around? Continue beating him until you kill him with your nonsense beating, you sef pass beating? Come to my house and she how troublesome my five years old son is, yet he’s my best friend and I love him that way.. are u saying there’s nothing good about that little angel (the boy) with you? For me my “troublesome “ lil Em is the best thing that has ever happened to my life, and I’m very sure that ur girlfriend boy can never as troublesome as my lil Em

Oh dear op,haven't you heard of the word"terrible three" kids takes a lot of patience to nurture especially in their formative years from 2,3,and 4 years,they are extremely hype active at these age especially male kids. I'm worried about your relationship really,something does not add up,whose mum gets tired of a 4yrs old child? How stubborn can he be at this age that your girlfriend's mum cannot tame him? If she had birthed him,would she had given him up for adoption cos he's stubborn? As for your girlfriend,she wouldn't have taken several months to inform you she has a kid,not a way to start a relationship based on trust. In my own opinion I don't think this would work because you don't even love the child to start with beating him at this age is a no,no for me. Now I'm not judging you for not loving him you,cos he's not your biological child,where I'm worried is the fact that you like quiet house which I don't see you having when your own child is birthed,I pray you will be more patient with yours when that time comes,cos these kids ehn! They are like puzzles oh,it takes a great deal of patience to nurture them. @ op,I feel you should just end it now while you still can,better late than never! But just know you would be throwing away a relationship that may be difficult to come by,cos you're gonna take awhile searching for a girl who is not on any social media platform and also nice. Think these through pls and take your decisions,it is said that "he who wears the shoes knows where it pinches!!!

WilliamsTheGrea:
Hello everyone, my name is Williams, I'm a young guy of 26 years old currently engaged to a very pretty young lady who is 24 years old

I do business online and earn good income before I decided to find a lady and settle down with and luckily I found a good one who is decent and don't flirt around or do social media's like whatsapp or Facebook. Hardly receives calls, not friendly with males lol (I managed to woo her through a church member)

We have been 1 year into the relationship now and we are to get married next month but guys the problem I am having now is that she has a child for another man which is her ex she was with when she was young she gave birth at age 20, we dated for about 7 months before she told me this.

Ever since then I haven't really been myself, the child is a male child who lives with her mother but recently the mother called her to come carry the child as she can no longer look after him due to him being a very stubborn boy, the child is 4 years old.

Now she has gone to bring the child to our home, a two bedroom apartment, I'm a kind of guy who loves peaceful environment with no single drop of noise, now ever since the child came in about a week now, I have not had peace, we have quarreled several times because of the child, I'm not really comfortable with the child because I can't love another man's child as my own

My girlfriend is yet to give me a child of my own, the child runs around and doesn't listen except when beaten and each time I beat the boy up when he does wrong my girlfriend looks at me with hatred like I'm maltreating the boy because I'm not the father.

Please guys help me I don't know what to do but I can't cope with the child, I remember paying the child school fees about 3 times since we are together because the child's father isn't doing anything at all.

Now today is the child's birthday and she is asking me for money to get him cake and take him out.


My people of nairaland I cannot accept another man's child no matter what I love the mother but not the child the connection is just now there because the boy isn't of my character I'm a calm man, very calm but the boy is very radical and stubborn children irritate me so much.

I don't know what to do.

Each time this child topic comes up between I and my girlfriend she becomes bitter.

She says she will never take the child to the father or the family of the father that she must raise the child herself.

I don't think I can help train anothrr man child whom in the end will go and find his father after he is all grown.

Please I need advice, she says over her death body will she return the child to the father

I'm not comfortable in my own home.

A lot of things running through my mind like to break up with her for peace to reign

Or rent another apartment for her and the boy to go live in.

Please I need matured advice
What I admire about your post is your sincerity when you said you can't look after another man's child. Well, it's your choice.

If I may ask, do you really love this girl and do you also think she loves you too? If yes, then there's absolutely nothing wrong in loving another man's child and taking care of him especially when you love his mother; he's only an innocent child. You bring in another round of blessing when that child takes you as his father.

However, you really need to sit this lady down and talk sense into her cos if she can't allow you train that child like you would train your own child, then it's better both of you part ways now that there's still time. Personally, I detest when you bring in a child to my home and in a bid to give him the best and what I feel is morally right, you turn around to play the emotional blackmail card.

Nigerians and hypocrisy! most of u saying he should love and accept the child wont even allow the child into their home if in his shoes. The way the country is, it is so hard to cater for ones own children let alone adding another mans child to it. I will advise the op to follow his heart. He shouldn't for any reason sacrifice his peace of mind and sanity on the alter of love.
If he can comfortably shoulder the responsibility, fine but if he cant i will advise he does the needful. It takes tolerance and understanding to handle ones own biological children and not every one is cut out for that esp when the child in question isn't their blood!

MrSquint:
I have two questions for you:
1. What would you do if the child were yours, with a bit of stubbornness? and

2. Can you randomly do good to people that are not related to you ?

The people we call children MUST NOT be our biological children alone. Just go ahead and do good without expecting a reward.

That child is innocent and is in need of parenting to help him build a good character. You've just said his mom is good, do you want to lose a good woman bcus she has a son. That's not fair.

I understand your fears though and I'll say it's natural to feel the way you feel, considering what your family and friends would say. But pls build yourself to grow pass such thoughts and concerns.

Do Good regardless
Love Regardless

And what happened to the child's biological dad? Pls.let's learn to choose our battles. Op doesnt want this battle . So let's just allow him

I am a single mom and mine happened due to death of my spouse. Poster, if you know you can't love the child as you described, please let her go because the earlier the better. If you have a child today, he or she will run around and do strong head( this is synonymous with kids). It is well
Chocolatte01:
This thread would soon get run down by Nairaland's alphas. None of whom would put their sentiments aside and comment without bias...
Op it's obvious the relationship wouldn't work out well because you do not love the child. It's not the womans fault but yours. The child might not be bad but your dislike for raising up another man's son would blind you of any of the kid's good points.
You mentioned that you love peace. If you have a child with your girlfriend, would he/her disturb too?
Don't waste either your time or hers. Simply let go now...
But if she's so good as you have portrayed, know you might be throwing away a diamond to later pick up a mere stone.

You re so right. But I bet you, the lady will never understand this.. If she.nor.her family members can't take care of the child, then give the child to his biological dad or find another way around it. Some other persons must not bear the consequences of her action and inactions

She and the child is the complete package if you want the girl be ready to take the child too.. Beside what's there to take of an innocent child who only needs a good father figure in his life
so you can take, love and raise another man's child while the father it somewhere mocking you with his friends, na waa o,

OP, run as far as your leg can carry you, listen to me, the love that girl has for you is shared between you and her son, the more the child is growing the more she's finding comfort in him not you

Secondly, your own children won't see that boy as their own since he will be older than them and will want to treat them as elder Bros, they won't totally accept that

Like you said before , I can never love another man's child like my own, that boy is a total stranger to you

Wow.....

I'm sitting here and just wondering how you'd handle your own blood if he or she turns out to be more hyper than your babe's son.

You mentioned how you hate noise of any sort, let's just say you definitely ain't prepared to have any kids of your own.

It is obvious you have zero love for this kid and I'm afraid to tell you that, you can't love a momma and hate her toddler kid. From the woman's side, that'd be a no-no.

It's best to "die" this relationship and bury whatever it is you feel for this woman because e no go work.

It's a good thing you are letting it out on how you truly feel instead of to go dey use shame chop winch.

Meat wey person dey forbid e no dey use teeth share am.

If you can't love a kid no matter the circumstance, you'd have same problems with yours for sure and you'd be venting out your frustrations on your spouse and before you'd say Buha....you don open another thread here say your one year marriage don get k-leg.

A child will always return the vibe given. In his innocence, he's able to pick up on your hatred for him which of course won't help him love you in return and the subtle tantrums is what you'll get as his way of protesting/rebelling. Show him some love and you'll be amazed how calm he'd become.

I pray you grow up fast and find a way to handle this pretty well.

Let her go bro....

You are so wise
Re: In A Relationship With A Single Mom; Please Advise by Liberty4life: 9:26am On Feb 24, 2020
Well many people are still training others today in the name of philanthropist, or abduct and train, you can't love your girl and hate her child, try sit down and discuss with your girl, since she is a good girl, learn to love the boy, open ur heart, he is stubborn because of lack of a dad presence in his life, what if you go for another girl and she could not conceive or she raises attitudes that you can not tolerate? Children this days are too stubborn, your own child might be too tough, so learn to curdle him, your girl will even be nice to you, your problem is that you are still too young and have not seen the other side of life, and also you're thinking what will people say, she got pregnant and delivered, what of girls who have done abortion 20x, and still claim holy, be wise brother

Hello everyone, my name is Williams, I'm a young guy of 26 years old currently engaged to a very pretty young lady who is 24 years old

I do business online and earn good income before I decided to find a lady and settle down with and luckily I found a good one who is decent and don't flirt around or do social media's like whatsapp or Facebook. Hardly receives calls, not friendly with males lol (I managed to woo her through a church member)

We have been 1 year into the relationship now and we are to get married next month but guys the problem I am having now is that she has a child for another man which is her ex she was with when she was young she gave birth at age 20, we dated for about 7 months before she told me this.

Ever since then I haven't really been myself, the child is a male child who lives with her mother but recently the mother called her to come carry the child as she can no longer look after him due to him being a very stubborn boy, the child is 4 years old.

Now she has gone to bring the child to our home, a two bedroom apartment, I'm a kind of guy who loves peaceful environment with no single drop of noise, now ever since the child came in about a week now, I have not had peace, we have quarreled several times because of the child, I'm not really comfortable with the child because I can't love another man's child as my own

My girlfriend is yet to give me a child of my own, the child runs around and doesn't listen except when beaten and each time I beat the boy up when he does wrong my girlfriend looks at me with hatred like I'm maltreating the boy because I'm not the father.

Please guys help me I don't know what to do but I can't cope with the child, I remember paying the child school fees about 3 times since we are together because the child's father isn't doing anything at all.

Now today is the child's birthday and she is asking me for money to get him cake and take him out.


My people of nairaland I cannot accept another man's child no matter what I love the mother but not the child the connection is just now there because the boy isn't of my character I'm a calm man, very calm but the boy is very radical and stubborn children irritate me so much.

I don't know what to do.

Each time this child topic comes up between I and my girlfriend she becomes bitter.

She says she will never take the child to the father or the family of the father that she must raise the child herself.

I don't think I can help train anothrr man child whom in the end will go and find his father after he is all grown.

Please I need advice, she says over her death body will she return the child to the father

I'm not comfortable in my own home.

A lot of things running through my mind like to break up with her for peace to reign

Or rent another apartment for her and the boy to go live in.

Please I need matured advice
Don't get me wrong. Imagine the father of the boy is somewhere focused and making money, you are busy with his child who is disturbing your sanity and your business which needs a quiet environment. Tomorrow your wife's ex becomes mega richer than you, I am sure your wife will be the one to first be making you feel lazy. Moreover, the boy will pack his load and go to his father. Women should stop being superwomen, children will ever go and look for their father

Do you think it's easy to look a child who you didn't give birth to biologically and invest your money and time in that child?

I'm not impotent I can have my own child. I want to take care of my own child.

Your thoughts about taking care of another man's child maybe synonymous to your age. Grow up bro. What's wrong with taking care or raising another man's child? Every child needs love. Every child is your child. Why can't you love unconditionally as we are admonished to do in the Holy Book? Why so selfish at your age?

What guarantee do you have that your biological child would grow up to become what you want in a child? Stop this please. Repent of your thoughts about that child and accept him into your life wholeheartedly. That may be your opportunity but if you choose to reject him then be rest assured that you have a case with God. This very wrongdoing would rub off on you sooner or later.

You talk as if you can control the outcome of life but you are only but a man. And if you want to make sense of this life, the best you can do is go God's way else you mess up your life with your selfishness. If you like, send both the mother and the child away or you keep them but remember, whatever choice you make, you'll reap the reward here on earth. A word is enough for the wise.
