It is an unnatural process to separate from the father of your children. Because it is not defined by nature, it is a difficult concept to truly understand. No one wants to be a Baby Mama. When a woman gives of herself to a man sexually, there is always an expectation. In a one-night stand, there is an expectation of fun. In a long term romantic relationship, there is an expectation of trust. In a marriage, there is the expectation of the marriage lasting forever. No matter how a woman becomes a Baby Mama, she shares the understanding that she has been let down, bamboozled, disappointed and robbed of her life's plan and vision for her Baby Daddy's presence in her life. The cards were played, and this is the circumstance. One must deal with the repercussions of the actions played. There are rules to this game of life: The more you play with effective strategy, the better chances you will have to win. You may not win in the conventional standard of winning, but you can triumph through the struggle with you "self" intact. Dealing with a Baby Daddy; the man that you have no romantic relationship with, but must share parenting responsibilities with, is like climbing a mountain: Hard, but not impossible. Believe it or not, Baby Daddies don't want to be Baby Daddies either. They like sex and apparently, sex with you It took the both of you to say we were going to have sex, we're not going to introduce protection and you were not going to have an abortion. It took two and will take you both to deal with this circumstance effectively. Eliminating irate emotions and drama will give you and your children a better experience. No one is perfect, but much like weight management, successful separate parenting, otherwise known as co-parenting, is an ongoing process that doesn't end; it simply goes in waves and cycles.
