I told you about my friend awhile back. The one with 4 kids. Whos new man doesnt like or even want kids. She came into my cafe sunday for coffee. I was surprised she didnt have her little girl with her. She told me she took all 4 kids, to her mom and dads to live, about 2-3 months. What will this do? She moved in with boyfriend. He doesnt want them. I can imagine giving up my kids for a man. Never happen. So mothers should never be mothers.

To be fair, I don't think it is easy for her to raise all 4 children on her own and I do not know what demons she's having at this time. There are issues and a load of questions all leading to unknowns which is pushing her to her decisions. I know it is easy to say that what she is doing is wrongful but apart from her children, she has her own life to run. Ironically, she would not be able to take care of them if she is not alive and well to begin with. The world today is not only scary but can be very harsh. I read somewhere that an average child needs approximately $4m to raise them to adults, so I cannot imagine what she's going through with 4 children. I am praying that things will work out for her here. People do change and let's hope that her decision will have a turnaround of the positive way. I feel for her children but my heart reaches out to her for what she is undergoing.

I understand that, but she has to parents who are older say 60s... they can take care of all 4 kids.

You are so depressing me this morning Maria. I've not even had coffee yet. This action of leaving her children will one day come back and bite her as what goes around will come around. How can she sleep? Maybe this isn't permanently but for a short time? My head cannot get around a mother leaving her kids for a boyfriend

It is a shame, Maria. I am guessing that such a man will be with your friend for a short time and then move on. Those men are like that. And your friend will discover too late that she made the wrong decision.

I don`t know why grown ups do that! They could just be with each other without commitment.

I hope that her decision is something that she won't ever regret doing. But really, what do you think her kids will feel about this? They may be under the loving care of their grandparents, but still, knowing that they have been ditched by their mom just because of another man?

She should have looked for a man that will love her kids unconditionally and not someone who would let her stay out of their lives.... poor kids.

I agree, I would have made sure the guy wanted kids, from the first date I went on with him. I never would choose a man over my own kids. never.. Have a super sat. there. See you here soon.

I hope she regrets it.. she needs to learn that this is so wrong. How can anyone choose a bf over your 4 kids??

It will haunt her in the end. I would never give my kids up for a man. She says 2-3 months but I bet it lasts longer unless she gets rid of the problem, which we know is the man. I have no compassion for these type of people.

My heart goes out to her kids. If I was her parents, I would never let her have them back. The kids will soon adjust and they will hold this against her. It surprises me how people forget why they wanted kids to begin with.

What is she going to do after the 2 - 3 months has lapsed? Does she think that her boyfriend will change his mind and welcome the 4 children into his home? Not going to happen. Maybe she thinks that her parents will just take on the responsibility of raising her brood. More likely.

Thats what I said, her month thinks she is using this to change his mind or to make sure she wants to be with him. Id never do that to my kids. Have a great day there.

She will regret it someday. Maybe she thinks if the kids are out of the way for awhile he will change his mind. He might accept his own kids someday, but probably not someone else's. I wouldn't even give up my pets for a man, let alone any kids.

I agree, just like my ex husband did with his son. he now has lost the new wife and his son. Have a great weekend there.

It seems the lady has made her choice. She chose her boyfriend over her children. She abandoned her own children (even if it is for 2-3 months for now) for that man. How can she be so sure that he would not cheat her or leave her after a while. He could easily tell her then that the lady who can leave her own kids can also leave me someday.
• Mexico

She seems to have, I bet in a month or 2. She will lose the man and want her kids back. What a shame as a mother.

Well, I guess she may not realize her fault right now until she will feel the emptiness when she already miss her kids. Soon, she will regret about her final decision. Sorry to say, I guess your friend is a very irresponsible and a selfish mother.

I agree, but I would have felt that emptyness 3 minutes after I left my kids.

What is sad is that women who don't want children seem to have more than one while others want children and can't have them.

I have to wonder... what did she tell her kids? How do you look your own children in the face and explain that you don't want to live with them anymore because you want to live with your boyfriend instead? How old are her children? If she has 4, they can't all be babies... so they are fully aware they've been shoved aside and "offloaded" onto the grandparents. I have no idea why they would accept the four children into their home except for the fact that they want to protect them, of course... but they should not been supporting their daughter's irresponsibility and selfishness. What's she going to do, where's she going to live, when this boyfriend decides he's had enough of her? She doesn't deserve to have her children back, that's for sure... they are not a commodity that you can decide you're done with and then just change your mind somewhere down the road.

If she didnt tell them the truth, I know the father (granddad ) will. I know him he tells all. its very sad.

I just can't imagine how a mother can do this thing. I know she's not the worst (there are more worst mother than her) But still, where is her heart, thinking about herself alone and neglecting her duty as a mom...xx

Well, she has her parents who allow her to leave her kids with them, thus she did it to go together with her new friend. But, how long is going to last this adventure?

I am sorry to hear that. Yes, there are many mothers who left their children for a man and for money. I think she left her children not only for the man, but she want to get the money to fund their children. Yes, I think she has been considered her decision with her family to save her children.

What kind of woman she is ! How can she left her kids just for her BF. Her kids will get angry at her and may never come back to her, even she wants later. I hate this kind of woman who just make her own kids orphan , even if she is alive

hi mariaperalta! how old is that friend of yours? motherhood does not sink-in to her as of yet! don't she have parents to tell her that what she's doing is not good? although we are not in her shoes for us to judge where she's coming from, her justifications for doing such, it still is not good to hear that those kids are bartered for a man who cannot even accept what she's into. if maybe someone could make her see the road that she is weaving. someone should make her realize that if such man cannot accept her kids, then that man is a hoax and does not truly love her.

Shes in her mid 30s, I think. Her mom and dad should have told her no. But they are to nice.
