I have to agree to the part of ANY chick... not that I disagree about the drama/baggage... but hey men have the same.
Behind every woman with kids is man who helped her get there.
I'd say if you can't handle the fact that you are NOT the center of attention 24/7 stay away, and if she makes you that center of attention even with a kid or 3... stay away.
I have two kids and its really hard to find anyone who's willing to give me the time of day. I don't need a baby daddy, they have a good father... I don't need any kind of support. However when they start calling and I just don't answer for a few weeks it freaks them out. Sorry... I'm a mother, I have things to do... So I think I'll just stay single. LOL
