Fathers in new relationships have x mas duties to their natural children.
Many fathers seem to think that because they are in a new relationship, they can escape their Christmas duties to their children. That’s false. They may avoid it, but the duty and responsibilities never go away. They are here to stay.
This article will come as a great discomfort to any fathers in new relationships, who thinks their duty is restricted to their new spouse and their family.
The Hard Truth
The hard truth is that any father who abandons his natural duty of showing love to his children, is an ass! All real men have this to consider before they go procreating, whether it be deliberate or it happens in the course of sexual adventure. Your child is your seed, and you must show a reasonable amount of love to your child, and this includes birthday and Christmas presents. Even when in a new relationship, you cannot overlook your natural child.
Partners
Some partners prefer their man to draw a line over their past relationship for fear that the romance may be rekindled. The concern is understandable, but any partner who attempts to be a barrier between a man and his children is not a fair or reasonable woman. Every child needs the influence of a responsible male figure. They need to know that someone out there responsible for bringing them into this world is prepared to demonstrate such basic love consistent with their biological connection.
This means given them birthday and Christmas presents, no matter how small. Obviously, the better quality the present, the more appreciative and grateful the child will be. This is where hard work , commitment, and awareness of the responsibility each one has to their children comes in. A mature and responsible man or woman is always aware that they are responsible, not only for themselves, but for those they have brought into the world too. It should form the basis of your focus, drive, and ambitions.
Men or women who have split from the parent of their child and moved on, must simply take on the additional responsibility. It does not matter that you have a new woman in your life , who may also have children you have taken on and probably adore. However, your natural child must not be left hanging on Christmas day. It does not matter that he or she may have been given a present from their mother, they need one from you too. That’s why they have two parents, they did not ask you to split up, you guys failed to work it out!
This articles comes after the eye of media.com tackled one father in Edgware road who has been trying to move on with another woman for 2 years. He left his natural family behind. His one misfortune was that the friend of his baby mother knows me, and got the eye of media.com to pressure him to man up and face his responsibility. After we got his picture and were just about to expose him for leaving his 12 year old without, he forked out £120 for a Christmas present for his son.
The man who we won’t name tried to argue that he was not a celebrity and therefore we would be unjustified for exposing him. However, we argued that there was a public interest on issues like this, and he caved in at the last minute when he realised he would be all over the internet.
The eye of media.com wants to send the man who knows himself, a message from his son saying ”thank you, it was really nice”.
