Transcript

being with someone who has children is kind of being in a form of a polyamorous relationship. I would be "dad's girlfriend." There's no respect in that title. It's one of his little fucking girlfriends. It's like one of his little girlfriends. You're temporary probably. And it's just kind of like Yeah, I don't want to be undermined like that. Every single time. And a lot of times, the bitterness of the relationship, not ending on good terms, kind of takes over more of the co-parenting relationship. The benefit of the child, actually, is put to the front line for that. So I definitely do not agree with dating a man with kids. I learned my lesson.
