Does Jude Law have some sort of latex allergy? Because he impregnated yet another woman. And he’s not even dating his new baby-mama anymore. First, to recap: Jude Law and Sadie Frost were married for years, back in the 1990s into the early ‘00s. They had three children together and Jude always said that he felt like Sadie’s oldest son (with Gary Kemp) was his as well. They split up around the time Jude was filming Cold Mountain (and it was rumored he had an affair with Nicole Kidman, by the way, although no one ever mentions that now). Shortly after Jude and Sadie split up, he met Sienna Miller and they promptly became the “It Couple” of London. Then he banged his kids’ nanny. Then Jude and Sienna did the on-and-off thing for a while. Time passed, then he had a one night stand with Samantha Burke which resulted in another baby, daughter Sophia (who is five years old now). So, he already had four biological children (and one stepson, Finlay). Skip ahead to today because Jude got his ex-girlfriend Catherine Harding pregnant.
Jude Law is going to be a dad again! The Dom Hemingway star and his ex are set to welcome a baby together, his rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
“I can confirm that Jude Law and Catherine Harding are expecting a child together in the spring. Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child,” the actor’s rep says in a statement. “They consider this a private matter and other than this confirmation no statement will be made. I ask that you respect the privacy of all parties involved and their families.”
Law, 41, has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost (sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy, 12, and daughter Iris, who turns 14 this month) and another daughter, Sophia, 5, with model Samantha Burke.
“Being a daddy is what counts,” he told PARADE in 2009. “I used to sleep until noon, but it’s not so bad to have to get up at 7 and give them breakfast. My daughter made me realize that if there’s anything that’s going to make a man of you, it’s having your will broken by a little girl.”
Bedhead just told me that she thinks Jude needs a vasectomy. That might be a good idea, because it doesn’t sound like Jude likes to wrap it up. And you know what? I had no idea he was even with anyone named Catherine Harding. The last time I checked, there were rumors about Jude and Ruth Wilson. I’ve also heard that Jude isn’t too happy about all of the child support he has to pay to Sadie and Samantha Burke, and now Catherine Harding as well. Jude Law is a mess.
PS… I’ll give him this though… he makes beautiful children.

Well if you don’t want to pay more child support, use protection…it really is that simple, dude (or get snipped).
Beauty fades, dump is forever – Judge Judy.
Hahaha! 18 years…18 years! 😀
He’s already paying over 20k as it is… http://www.tmz.com/2014/03/01/jude-law-baby-mama-child-support-agreement/ I expect to see him doing some really sh!tty films in the next 18 years.
Btw, his son turned 18 like 10 days ago, maybe he just likes paying child support and got himself a new kid now that the oldest one is out? lol
Yep, protection is cheap, Jude. Try it sometime.
That said, how in the world has this guy managed not to come down with some sort of STD?!
Who says he hasn’t? Lots of people have STDs and go about their everyday lives, dating, sexing and all!
I’ll be curious to see he gets the same flak Kate Winslet got.
He totally needs to get a vasectomy. I’m always amazed that more men with means, especially those who have already been surprised by a baby and child-support, do not do so.
At least Kate was married to the men she had babies with, they weren’t one night stands and random exes.
Did people care that Kate had three kids w/three diff. guys? I don’t remember. I don’t ‘care’ because shizz happens (my mom has five kids with three diff. guys; two of them left/cheated), and as long as she takes care of her kids (which she does). I only side eye her for marrying a fool with the last name ‘Rocknroll’ and then giving the kid her last name (and acting like it’s the most natural thing in the world, when her other kids don’t have her last name).
Well said and true.
Yeah, I don’t care who Kate’s baby daddies are; it just seems Ned Rocknroll is looking for a meal ticket and a little name recognition and latched onto Kate Winslet.
Yes, there was a good deal of media criticism about her when her pregnancy was announced. While I think some of the reaction in gossip circles had to do with Ned and his name, there were a lot of headlines saying “3 Kids with 3 Dads!” and attempting to shame her for it. There was also a post on this site about a “father’s rights” group putting out advertisements shaming her.
The issue I had to Kate is that if she were Sheniqua from Harlem and had three baby daddies, people would be all over her. But with Kate, its, ‘good for her.’ ‘She has a right to have as many children with as many men as she wants.’ Meanwhile Sheniqua is told she needs to be sterilized.
As for Jude and his nanny poker, he needs to give it a rest or stop bitching about the money he has to spend on support.
@delorb
Well, ‘Sheniqa’, stereotypically would not be able to afford all of her kids; while Kate is a millionaire. I don’t care how or how many kids a person has, as long as they are able to afford them without any help from the gov’t (side eye Duggars).
I think it’s safe to say that Kate did get her fair share of negative media attention when it was announced that she had three kids from three different fathers, just like Shenique did.
@Delorb – Kate was married when she had her kids. The first 2 marriages derailed. That doesn’t make her any less of a good mother. Plus she’s vastly wealthy. Sheniqua from Harlem wouldn’t be a multi-millionaire nor would she likely have been married to her childrens’ fathers (I refuse to use the term “baby-daddy”, it’s vile). Furthermore Kate’s 2 older kids are probably getting great financial and parental support from their fathers. Not so much from Sheniqua’s. So you’re trying to equate 2 entirely different situations.
@Delorb, I agree with you. It isn’t only about means. There is this automatic assumption that if the mother is of color, she can’t afford her children, and this is a historical issue. For example, my African-American mother who has had all five of her children by the same man, her husband of 51 years, has been pressured by many doctors over the years to stop having children or get her tubes tied after pregnancy, and she isn’t the only one. While means factor in, we cannot ignore the stereotype, and the way it has played out historically, and still manifests in the very concept of Sheniqua form Harlem. Since there are far more Caucasians on Welfare, it should be Tammy from Boise!
As for Jude, I am glad he is getting some static for his messy situation, because he isn’t wrapping it up for his casual shenanigans (and we know this because of what the nanny said), and THAT is irresponsible.
@Virgilia Coriolanus and Jaded,
Um, you two don’t know ANYTHING about Sheniqua other than her name and where she lives. For all you two know she’s pulling in 5 to 6 figures, is white/mixed race, a GREAT mother (don’t know why she suddenly is a bad one just based solely on her name) and is on her THIRD marriage just like Kate. That you two went there just by hearing her name and location is sad.
STEREOTYPES are bad for a reason. It stops us from treating people as individuals. Unless you’re saying that ALL black women have multiple baby daddy’s or everyone named Sheniqua is black or that ALL black women who live in Harlem are on welfare and can’t afford their kids or even ALL black women who have financial difficulties aren’t good mothers. But thanks for playing.
Its not about the means, as very few people brought up the fact that Kate could AFFORD her children. Its Kate, a white famous woman and suddenly people think its cool. If its a black woman, (as you two have proven) people are thinking, ‘where’s the scalpel?’ to keep her from having more.
@MaiGirl,
Thank you. Its sad how they both assumed that the woman was poor, black and couldn’t afford her kids. Funny and sad.
@delorb
Which is why I said STEREOTYPICALLY–because, stereotypically, when a person is named ‘Sheniqua’ she is poor, black, and has a lot of kids, with different fathers. You said that if Kate was Sheniqua i.e. a stereotype i.e not white and rich, then she would be perceived differently–because she isn’t a stereotype (white, rich, multiple kids/multiple fathers). And please–you were the one who brought in stereotypes. Having people respond to said stereotypes shouldn’t be a surprise.
And I know A LOT about people who were poor, black, and couldn’t afford their kids i.e. half of my cousins. My mom, for a short period.
I already said that I don’t care that Kate has multiple kids/fathers. I don’t think it’s ‘cool’. All I’m saying is Kate can afford her kids, with or without the father’s involved. In the end, that’s all we can judge. If someone can take care of the kids that they helped created–with money and emotional support. If Kate and Jude and whoever else want to have a buttload of kids, have at it.
@MaiaGirl
Interesting what you say about your mom. My mom did a lot of research into doctors and black people–and up until the nineties (if I’m remembering right) a lot of doctors in different states were performing sterilizations on black/hispanic women, without their consent or knowledge. So I’m not surprised that your mother was being pressured to ‘get fixed’–I don’t think it was because of a stereotype, but because they were racist pigs.
@Delorb – I agree with Virgilia Coriolanus. You don’t know anything about ‘Sheniqua’ and you’re the one who suggested her name, the fact that she lives in Harlem and appears to be single, thereby racially profiling her. You then raised the point that she’d be asked to get sterilized. IF this mythical person were pulling down a big salary it’s assumed that she can afford a bunch of kids without the father(s) being present, that she can afford a nanny, and wouldn’t be put in the position by her doctor of considering sterilization. We’re ALL speaking of stereotypes here, you just as much as us. You can split hairs all you like and accuse us of “assuming” but I know of just as many poor white women who are deliberately having baby after baby from different fathers because they get a ton of social assistance with each baby and don’t have to work. I’m sure they get advised by their doctors to consider having a tubal as well.
I suspect KW got more criticism for her choice of third husband than for marrying thrice – the guy just screams “pretentious douchebag riding Branson coat-tails”. But you love who you love, hammerhead shark-eyes or no.
Jude OTOH has no excuse for falling into the “gold-digger baby trap” for a SECOND time. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, and I’m a colossal idiot in dire need of a vasectomy…
If Jude or Hugh Grant so much as look in a vagina’s direction, one gets pregnant…it is Known!
Hahaha oh QQ. Thanks for the laugh this Friday afternoon :D.
You know why men with means don’t get snipped…because guys in general NEVER think about birth control. In their minds it’s the duty of the woman to handle that. Let’s face it, if there weren’t killer STIs to be had, the condom industry would’ve folded a looong time ago.
His kids are lovely though, but then he’s a beautiful man. He and Gavin Rossdale are my forever Brit crushes 😁
This was a 6 week ‘relationship’ apparently ;-). Shades of Liam Gallagher situation here
Yeah. And she’s 5 years older than his son.
Can he afford these children? More importantly, is Jude going to be present in their lives? Is he a good parent and loving Dad to his kids? If the answer to these question is yes on all accounts, then I have no issue with him spreading his seed. But if he’s just an indiscriminate bare-backer, get snipped FFS! Or at least glove up. STD’s, Jude?
He’ll have to ring up Guy Ritchie to ask for more Sherlock sequels……
He’s got kids in 3 different homes. How present can he be?
Put it away mate.
My thoughts exactly when I read the headline.
He is good at keeping his kids out of the spotlight, though. They oddly remind me of the Beckhams, especially that tall one in the back.
There are also stories that he is the father of Kate Moss’ daughter. Jude, Sadie, Kate were involved in some threemsomes.
As i can believe about the threesomes as it’s BS he’s the biological father of Kate Moss’ daughter
Lila Grace’s father is Jefferson Hack, a well known magazine editor. He and Kate were together for some years during which she was born. The Jude Law rumours are nonsense. BTW, Moss and Hack are still good friends and their daughter looks a lot like him.
You are right. Because Kate doesn’t have a history of drunken drug filled parties with Jude and others known for switching partners. There’s no chance.
If you look at her and then look at him and Jefferson Hack you’ll see there really is none. She’s all legs, longs and skinny like Hack. Jude is short with short legs, Kate’s not tall either.
@Really & qwerty…Lila Grace LOOKS like Hack…in the face. Body type is hard to judge at her age. In any event, switching partners is one thing, getting impregnated by them is entirely another. She could have just as easily gotten pregnant by Jamie Doherty or even her current husband for that matter. It’s called birth control and you can bet she was/is on it – it’s Jude that doesn’t seem to care.
I’m pregnant now after reading this article. O_O
Giggle.
Jaded snort – followed by giggle. Nice one…
The man needs a body condom, wrapped securely around his entire being at all times.
Oh yes.
It’s like he and Hugh Grant are in some kind of competition…
He must want a large family and enjoy paying for them otherwise he’d be spending the 20 minutes it takes to prevent any more pregnancies. So uh…..congrats!
lmao so true.
Do we know that they’re not? 🙂
He’s been stripped of his condom badge (from that jacket) and rightfully so, What a Duggar.
I wouldn’t call it Duggering. More like Hugh Granting his way through life. Ooops.
You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto.
Let’s call the whole thing off
But if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh if we ever part, then that might break my heart
Don’t forget Owen Wilson. He had two ladies pregnant at the same time as well, with his 2nd and 3rd children, respectively. What a crazy new trend … yikes!
Owen Wilson has 2 children, not 3… or did I miss something?
“What a Duggar”, HAHAHA!!! Love it.
More of a Sheen than a Duggar.
It’s the scarf that kills me more than the jacket.
Good god, man, if you’re not going to wrap it up, get a vasectomy. Considering all the baby mamas he has, he must have all the diseases as well. What a gross man.
It’s mutual, men and women can prevent pregnancies. Sadie was his wife, but these other women onviously saw a dummy and got their check!
actually… she got pregnant before they were married, officially. They were at least together though.
Yes, I sometimes feel for the men too. Don’t get me wrong, this ONS situation was quite stupid because a guy should always wear protection on a one night stand and that’s not even about pregnancies. But if you are in a relationship with someone and she tells you that she uses birth control – and then doesn’t? You can’t do anything about that as a guy, you have no choice whatsoever except celibacy or never trusting your girlfriend on that matter. (And that’s me generally speaking, not in particular about Jude Law.)
And while I understand that people say he should get a vasectomy, that’s a bit… I don’t know.. harsh considering that we don’t know anything about Jude Law and his personal outlook on life. If he just wants to f… err.. fool around, then by all means, yes, he should get one. But maybe he wants to get married again one day and start a new/second family with a woman he really loves (or at least have that option still available), who knows. This is the day and age when George Clooney married, anything could happen now. *paranoid*
I wish his swimmers had been around for me in 1982 when I was an I fertility patient! Yikes! Keep Jessica Simpson away from him! Yowza!
Omigosh. That’s what I keep thinking. The fertility gods are so unfair. Why can’t they spread the love to committed, stable couples who’d give anything to be parents.
Well…If this was a woman in the same circumstances ( Lots of money, lots of opportunity and understanding how babies are made) and I judged her for her behavior, I’d be…judgy. Or a slut-shamer. As long as he is financially responsible & available to be a father, and these women know what the deal is..I just can’t judge.
I am now imaging that she wanted a baby and he wanted to bang a hot ex…..so they banged until she got pregnant. I’m guessing he takes care of his kids and loves them all–I’ve never read anything about him being stingy with child support or anything like that. More power to him.
I think I remeber how he didn’t see his daughter with the first baby mama for at least a year after she was born. So I don’t reqlly consider him a fair father.
i can’t copy links on my iphone(I don’t know why??) right now, but just google something to the tune of”jude law hasn’t seen his child”. No, I don’ t think he’s very good father at all. While searching for the links, I read that his previous baby mama is…odd, but that is no reason to not care about your child. People should think about that before creating a baby.
I found this http://www.celebitchy.com/281737/is_jude_law_finally_spending_time_with_his_3-year-old_daughter_sophia/
and this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2241675/MoS-Diary-Jude-Law-gets-closer-girl.html
Oh and this http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/26/jude-law-baby-photo-saman_n_333477.html she was born in sept 2009 and in november he still hadn’t met her… even though the DNA test confirmed she was his.
What;s weird about the mother?
Of course she wanted a kid by him she doesn’t have to work for the next 18 years. He may be a loving father but how can you get quality time with your kids if they are in 3 different places?? Look at Rod Stewart never there for his older kids (look how they turned out) and yet he continues to breed. These men need to get a vascetomey – the world is overpopulated as it is!!
Well, he’s back to working with Nicole Kidman. “Genius” starting filming this week in Manchester, England.
I second the posts above. It’s a smart move of his to keep working: he’s gonna need the income.
Oh snap! Didn’t Nicole Kidman recently say she wants another baby?
LOL
He will probably hook up with other minor actresses in the film…maybe Vanessa Kirby, she’s a little slut that sleeps with her co-stars (i.e. Douglas Booth) to get ahead for a Hollywood career, she’s desperate to make it big so she will provably aim to dumb Jude
Guess he’s spending his Sherlock money as not sure if he is that wealthy. Boarding schools for a couple of kids, private for the other and buying her a house near him in Primrose Hill £3m at least it won’t last long. he does need to use protection her too.
And Sienna had an abortion when she found out he was banging the nanny…. Definitely doesn’t like condoms!
Really? The child had nothing to do with the leech of a father. Why take it out on them? Jeez.
It was probably a lot less “taking it out on the child” and more about seeing the certainty of the relationship’s future fall apart very suddenly. Whether that’s ethical or not is up to you, but I doubt she’s the only woman who’d feel uncomfortable bringing a child into that mess.
He really needs a vasectomy, if he goes on like this he won’t be able to afford all the child-support to his baby mamas!
He’s a good father (still, I don’t know about his relationship with little Sophia Law), but damn just use a condom.
Well, I don’t get it, but at least he loves and provides for them.
Yeah, children he has with Sadie Frost. I’m not so sure ’bout the other one, and I find that despicable. Pinoult-level despicable, and that is despicable of the highest order(parent-children related). I can’t watch Salma Hayek anymore bc of this.
I am sure they will all be provided for monetarily. I just hope he is there for them emotionally, too. Not trying to judge, but having children scattered in different places doesn’t seem like a good idea.
He’s such a pig, yeah? I guess wealth breeds carelessness. Why worry about children when you can pay people to raise them?
Nicole has been saying that she hopes every month that she’s pregnant, and now she and Jude are working together. Since he has supersperm, I wonder….
Or he just loves to be dad.Look Hugh Grant! He’s single ( the ultimate bachelor) and today loves to be dad with different mothers
Of course they love being a ‘Dad’ I use that term loosely these idiots come and go as they please while the mothers or nannies do the hard work.
Just curious about this, …but Why is it Leo DiCaprio gets a hard time for being single and a serial dater, but Jude Law and Hugh Grant don’t really get admonished in the press much for dropping baby’s in several woman all over the Continent?
Because they’re more low-key on the bachelor lifes? Because they look enjoyed to be daddy ( i believe Hugh Grant’s baby mums live in some houses bought by him in his street )? Because they took responsability of their acts? Because they’re not A++ list ?
But Leo’s actions are a single guy dating, which there’s nothing wrong with, yet he gets crapped on about not marrying. He’s not dropping kids all over the place, with every new woman, he’s dating, , he’s not dropping kids and moving on and paying for. Yet he gets crap about it.
I just don’t get it, when it’s implied there’s something wrong with Leo being single and dating and moving on with no babies involved, yet Hugh and Jude date women, knock the women up, pay for the baby’s and move on to the next, even if they do behave as fathers to them. It’s just bewildering to me why some give such crap about Leo just being a single , wealthy , famous bachelor who likes dating and not marrying?
@Somenestolemyname
Honestly i have nothing against Leo enjoying his bachelor life
I know. No harm meant.
I’m not even pinpointing anyone, except just saying in general.
I appreciate you answering.
It may be his A list status gets him higher level notice of his dating life.
True!
To be fair Jude is totally getting crapped on. Have you read the comments?!
That’s not true, a lot of people give Leo the side eye for his never-ending stream of interchangeable 20-something models.
That said, unlike Jude or Hugh, Leo seems to take protection seriously and he deserves major points for that.
I really don’t get it- he’s got to be within hailing distance of 50- he’s on the hook for CS for another 18 yrs- ladies & gents, Michael Caine 2.0- difference being Jude will have to work till he’s 80- hopefully all of these children’s mothers won’t ask for inc in child support at the same time!!
What the hell…Congratulations! 🙂
He’s not a stupid man, and I’m just going to suggest a few ideas:
1) some people want kids at older ages because when they have a house full of teenagers, they’ll have toddler. When the teens go to college there’s still a need to be a parent to a little kid and maybe you feel tired like nothing else, but you’ve got proof that you’re not “old”
2) Some men might get a kick out of being able to be that virile. And as for the money, it’ll be stressful, but at this rate ALL of those women might be having to give up depending on his paycheck…and wouldn’t that be a bizarre FU to all of them, in a perverse way?
Maybe it’s a self esteem thing too, getting a vasectomy, who knows?
Did you ever see the video of Jude Law in the bar drunk, it’s very telling.
Dude gets drunk and gets antsy and Horney and wants women to leave the bar with him.
No, I’ll google that now. Thanks!
Horney is just a good a reason as well. But given his rep (and again, he’s not earning a ton of money compared to other celebs) I’m with the other posters who can’t believe that the women are forgetting the pill (or whatever). Again, better money prospects to be had, non?
Edit: Wow, he’s really drunk. If anyone video taped me like that, if be seeking revenge.
To be fair, sooo many people bang without condoms…. it’s just that the girls take the pill! On the one hand, every time a friend of mine says s/he doesn’t use condoms I am shocked, on the other hand I’m also shocked Jude’s lady friends aren’t on birth control if they know he doesn’t wrap it up.
And isn’t this latest former GF like 23?? I get the thrill of having a movie star being into you at that age, but being tied down with a baby??? I know, plenty of folks younger, etc- but single parenting is hard- maybe she plans to shop a series to MTV! All these women better hope (1) he has a major life insurance policy, and/ or (2) he has longevity in his DNA.
Please, could you not use the expression “baby-mama” – please?
It’s off-putting, to say the least.
why should he need a vasectomy? He has the right to father as much children as he wants. He pays for his kids and seems to be a good father.
These women happily bang with him. It´not as if he has mutant-sperma which kills every protection and impregnates a women against her will.
A child has a right to have a dad around and if the kids are split around several households that is going to be difficult.
This
*peaks in to see if everyone is pregnant yet*
http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m11z8r3AYH1r3gup8o1_500.gif
Meh. He’s got cute kids and they look happy. So long as he’s paying to support them, who cares?
Paying the child support is probably the absolute bare minimum a father can do. It’s ridiculous how low the bar is set for men.
Well, Jude is a good father, at least.
A vasectomy is a pretty personal decision, and if the guy is okay with a big family, so be it. I will slut shame a bit and judge him for having a child with a one night stand and one with someone he dated for six weeks, though. At that point, using a condom and using it properly is about your own health, not just about fertility.
He really likes paying child support! Hope the money can buy love
Why does he need a vasectomy? Who cares; it’s his business and he is well off enough to care for children. He works regularly and is a well regarded actor in terms of work. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with this, so why should we? Or maybe he does, but it’s his own private matter then. I’m just confused as to why everyone is saying that another pregnancy means he should have a vasectomy? Having an unexpected pregnancy isn’t always tragic, nor is it always an unhappy matter.
Financially providing for a child isn’t the same as being an involved father!
THAT is the issue at hand. The more randoms he impregnates, the more households his children are split between. In terms of quality, his kids with his ex-wife got the best of him whilst the other he see “when he can”..
Another perspective…
My husband and I don’t want kids. Period. And no ob/gyn anywhere in my area will “allow” me to get my tubes tied. My husband, however, is absolutely beyond adamant that he will not get a vasectomy because he thinks it’s an unnecessary modification to an otherwise normal healthy human body. Maybe Jude feels that way too? *shrug*
Does your husband expects you to go with the procedure while he refuses to do? A vasectomy is less invasive than a woman going through a surgery.
If that is the case then he is extremly selfish.
And going through a surgery such as getting your tubes tied doesn’t constitute as “an unnecessary modification to an otherwise normal healthy human body”???
Sounds quite selfish that he expects YOU to be the one to get an invasive surgery when him getting snipped is way less complicated.
If he really doesn’t want to father kids then why does it matter to him whether he should stay virile or not?
Huge double standard and something in the water is not clean.. From my perspective, your situation is not one to envy!
Anon33 – he is being smart enough not to make a permanent decision right now. You should, too, if this is how he approaches health decisions affecting the two of you. Not saying you should necessarily want children because that might not be your thing. And your relationship may be great and last forever. But his priorities in life make me wonder.
I would have thought a baby was a fairly permanent decision.
I agree with Bedhead — Jude needs to get snipped if he can’t be bothered to wrap it up. His latest baby mama is only five years older than his eldest son, and I’m guessing his existing kids are upset by their father’s ongoing carelessness.
The only time he seems to have been a hands-on dad was when he was married. Nowadays, all he seems to do is provide financial support and show up for photo ops in between knocking up flings.
Skeeze-bag. Gorgeous, sexy skeeze-bag.
I, for one, will be judgmental. This is is not some puppy he picked up at the kennel or another mortgage that he’s taking out. This is a human life that he and she have recklessly decided to make.
The problem is that there is so much narcissism and entitlement attached to procreation that people only seem to be concerned with their right to bear children, not the child’s right to grow up in a happy, supportive, loving, environment where he/she will know the love of both parents. So, yeah I’m side-eyeing the ‘why does he need a vasectomy’ PC justifiers hard right now. Hmmm, let me guess. Maybe because his ego is a piss poor reason to bring a life into the world. There are some who believe that it’s okay, because he can financially provide them. So, is that your measuring such for parenting? Geez.
This is the 21st century. They are Westerners living in the developed world who have access to the most effective conceptive methods available to modern man. Once is an accident. Twice is just stupid and careless. There is NO F*CKING EXCUSE!
Agree. I would side-eye ANYBODY who has more kids than they can be truly attentive to.
BEST.COMMENT.EVER.
If my parents had waited until they could afford children, I wouldn’t be here. Same is true for many people, probably most people worldwide. You just manage, that’s all.
Folks today have an inflated idea of what children must have today. You don’t owe your children private schools, a parent-paid college education, a roomful of toys and expensive extra-curriculars and expensive clothing, expensive extra lessons. Those are perks, nice if you can but the kid will grow up healthy and happy and educated without them. My brother and I got scholarships and loans to go to college, didn’t cost mom a dime extra than pre-college (she fed and housed us for free). We worked for money to buy books and clothing etc. starting in high school. I worked in grad school to pay my expenses and tuition. Really, parents have been raising children on a shoestring since the species crawled out of the ocean. If your kids want extras, there are ways for them to work for it.
Is he aware of what causes babies? My theory is that he hasn’t connected the dots….
Well he’s certainly connected something!
He can afford to be reckless. But money doesn’t remotely make him a good father and I doubt that he is.
