I think my age has something to do with it. I'm 34. If a man I'm dating has circumstances then he has circumstances. You can either roll with them or not. Yeah him taking care of kids already is a complication. But taking care of his younger siblings is 100% better than baby mama drama. And I could not be attracted to a guy any longer if I found out that he wasn't helping his family at all in a situation like this. It is not like the girls have a viable alternate. And even if they did it would be a good mark on his character if he at least visited his abandoned younger siblings.

Why could she not just offer to support him? To babysit? Or to buy things the girls might need?
Happiness comes in many forms. As far as she knows he could find a woman who would be okay with a blended family. It isn't impossible.
