    It may be just a coincidence that the type of girls


    your son is attracted to just happen to have children.


    Also factor in the places he meets these young women,


    bars, perhaps, as opposed to libraries, say.

    Its a shame but all over the world most teenagers are pregnant or have young children and the girls he is looking for are propably the only ones that are free as the others are married or still at college he should start hanging out at college bars rather than getting himself tied down or the other reason he likes these girls woth kids they are very grateful in finding someone like your son!

    The teen pact is still on here in the states. Young teens making pacts to get themselves pregnant.

    You can't change the subscription setting, tell the admin that the ability to change it is grayed out.

    I want to know how insecurity would play into this? It takes a secure man to try and take on a ready made family. 


    Why do you say, "brings home" like they are some sort of stray animal? Perhaps insecurity belongs to you. 


    If all he is meeting is young women who have children, then that tells me there are far to many young women out there having children. If they are all divorced, then that tells me, the sanctity of marriage continues to be destroyed by loose straight people who have no respect for the institute of Holy Matrimony or marriage.


    Lastly, are you sure it's not the kids he wants? If he's only targeting women with children as you say, then perhaps there is a problem like you think there is. Maybe he likes the kiddies more than mom.  


    Maybe you are a controlling mother who is far to involved in her 21 year old son's life. If he is still living in your house, boot him out. He's a man. He needs his own home and you need something else to do.

    Yes that did cross my mind re a possible interest in the children..I didn`t want to say it:-¬...But if there is a problem/potential problem re the children`s safety..it needs immediate investigation..not ignoring...I don`t want to cause offence to the boy`s Mother...but we have to think of the worst case scenario these days...just in case anyone is at risk:-¬

    It just seemed like "mom" was looking for a problem as to why he dates women with children. Just giving her another option. She seems like the type who likes to worry about things ;)
    millie111

    @Colleen...YES i get you!!;-)

    Perhaps they are grateful for the company of someone willing and accepting of  their past and their children, maybe he is looking for a "mother" figure, there are a lot of possibilities, he may find them more approachable...........

    Well, as a habit I think we all tend to stereotype people into groups, while there are more and deeper reasons people seek types of prospective mates out. All men are not the same, just as all women aren't. I don't think it would be fair to anyone, to try and pidgeon-hole someone based upon minimal descriptions...everyone, including ourselves are just a little more than that. Everyone has just a little more reasoning going on in their heads, as to why they make certain choices.

    Nice thing about this is, is at 21 years old when he is 42 he can start bringing home girls that are starting on their 2nd family. Really he could be looking at helping raising young children until his dying day.

    Hi,


    Did you had a talk with him about the matter?


    How does he find those girls/woman? Did he go to special places where those woman are often there? How is your relation? Does he loves you so much that he maybe without doing it on purpose try to reach a same situation as you has and he loves mothers and also children? Could it be that he formed the opinion that he feels the wish of you to have a partner if you alone, so his social feelings like to 'help' in that case?


    Yes it could be that he feels insecure, but as I wrote above, there are more options, not at all negative. Talk to him in a free way without showing a judgment.


    Greetings Puran.

    Mom is projecting. Take a look again and see why she used the word insecure. She believes he's replacing her, which in a way, he is. Time to let go of the little boy mom.
    millie111

    Yes I agree with that...many a mum finds it very difficult to "let go" Of THEIR sons..and may well feel (?needlessly),threatened that their boy is looking to be with any O woman!:-¬

    Maybe he feels more secure when he has a girlfriend with kids...who may show him more appreciation than some O girls without kids may be.....Maybe he is insecure and /or likes playing the Father figure...or maybe just coincidence that he`s followed this pattern so far...He may find the college bar less preferable to time with someone he has strong feelings for..and is more mature than his peers!....Does it really matter if this is the case...?Do you think he seems happy...that`s the main thing....as long as he appreciates that he is taking on more responsibility as the children may grow fond of him too...and it matters that he doesn`t wake up one day and feel it`s all too much responsibility..The Children matter...and maybe badly affected should he leave them!...It must be hard for you to have these concerns...It`s certainly not an easy one....you know him best....Can you have a Mother to Son chat with him...it  sounds like a good idea..imho:-¬....


    all good wishes...millie xx

    Yes. maybe he's more attracted to the mother- type, than the non-mother.

    You want to know why as opposed to what?  For him to like guys with kids?

    doolittle

    I do think she said girls with kids
    Chiangmai

    "...as opposed to what?" ...Because he's a guy and the reason is quite obvious....On the other hand, the question is more valid if the son somehow likes men with kids. Then she would really want to know why.
    doolittle

    Thank you- I'm a little dim at times...didn't quite follow you but now I get it!

    I have a few friends that have done the same and are still happily married. Mind you, every single one of the women are knockout gorgeous and with great personalities to go with it. Makes me wonder why the fools let them get away in the first place.


    I've been told that they were all despicable scumbags (the guys,of course)but I haven't heard their side of the story. Either way, one would think that there would have been some telling sign along the way.

    doolittle

    Hmmm...perhaps they took a roll in the hay early in their relationship-before the despicable scumbag showed his true personality.
    digger

    Nah. They were all divorcees.
    doolittle

    Ah, so the X's were scumbags...Is that a legal term? My X has a few "nicknames" but scumbag isn't one of them...perhaps I'll add it to the list- LOL

    I got to thinking that most of the women he dates are a bit older, but then realized that nowadays it's really cool to be a Baby Momma when you are 16.  
    It these are the girls he's dating, let's hope they have matured to the point of seeing the sun shine.
    My actual thought is that he may be attracted to women with children because he knows (maybe just subconsciously) he isn't expected to be there 24/7 (as a totally single woman may want);  he still has some freedom due to HER lack thereof!  

    Perhaps he wants the ready made family as some have suggested...or maybe he wants someone he can actually rely on...like a 'mom' archetype with responsibilities and goals in life for herself and her children...perhaps he is more reliable than you think. On the other hand, perhaps he seeks vulnerable women who 'need' the presence of a male around as a sort of 'false' sense of security...he could be targeting 'welfare' mothers for an easy place to couch surf and eat for free...is he a freeloader? What does he do with his time? Does he work? Live at home? Tough one to answer succinctly...Peace Mom.

    He is going to be a family man, one day. You should be proud of him!!"

    Be thankful he is lucky enough to find someone he cares for and that cares for him.  I have worked with kids that wish they had a girlfriend.  We all learn about this planet in different and unique ways.  Let him be himself.  Ornasis, one of the riches shipping tycoons in the world, gave his son a fleet of airplanes to quit a woman he did not approve of.  His 24 year old son went down in one of those planes. Ornasis heart was broken, but his beloved son was gone.  Let your children live their own lives, get out of the way, and be helpful when you can.

    The Onasis(edit) story is a mind blower...his interference changed the course of his sons' days...wow man! He tried to push his own 'will' upon his son..unreal..and quickened his demise by so doing. This kind of 'energy' has always blown my mind. I am a free spirited one from my beginnings and have never understood this kind of behaviour. Is one 'helping' or running 'interference'? To put ones' own will over others is not a viable way of expression and wreaks of a ranting, raving, lunatic personality...poor kid to have to deal with his life when it was not even his own to live...awestruck is what I am.
    mycatsmom

    It's Onasis
    lindilou

    Y'know, I actually wrote Onasis at first and changed it thinking I was correcting it! This is Jackie 'O's' famous rich 2nd hubbie then right? Good grief! Poor kid even more!! :(
    And didn't Jackies' son die in a plane crash as well? Oh the karma!! Yikes!
    tabber

    Jackie Onasis had a son name John Kennedy Jr. Yes he did die in a plane crash too. That saddened me because he was one of our beautiful and intelligent people. The Kennedy's are royalty in the United States. I think everybody loved John John Kennedy. His wife Caroline never plane rode with him. This was the first time. She and her sister both went down with him. I believed her family sued Kennedy Estate and parents got money for both their daughter's deaths.

    because then, he has a ready-made family. And he can play " daddy "  without all the stress and comittment of making a committment, getting married, having his own kids to support and worry about . .....and all the bills .  He can just play with his girl-friend's kids and have fun with them .......like grand parents do .

    It may not be one or the other.Keep in mind that the way we as people view things in 2012 vs:1912. are amazingly different. From how we(MEN & WOMEN) meat to how or why we wed. Everyone is in such a hurry to get to the bed room. We have taken little or sometimes no time at all. To get to know ourselves let alone or "partner" in any real depth. So things usually fail before they really get going.  Children an ex's are a common by product. Also how we deal with relationships now verses then. In this day and time it's so easy to get a devorce or having kids out of wedlock because working on us is to hard. better to move on it's simpler.In another day and time once you did it was finale. Go aginst the flow an be branded damaged goods. Or just no good at all.Taboo's change just like the times do. Wish we could learn to keep the best of the  past to mix with the present.Making the future the real pressent
