Baggage as long as you travel light
| Tue, 11-15-2005 - 12:23pm |
Hello....
OK, yesterday I declined meeting a man with 3 kids (two of which are grown) and an ex wife of 20+ years whom he was separated from for 3 years (divorce final any day now he said) and I thought neah, that’s too much for me at least where I’m at in my life right now.
This inspired the post – in your mind – what is too much baggage or situations where you thought, nope, just can’t go there! I don’t consider kids baggage but the fact that he had a family life (full family life, memories and a nasty divorce, well...and I do want a kid one day so why would he want more – hence I’ll take the pass card)....
Bring on your baggage stories ;-)
Cheers,

I don't know if this applies to baggage but when I first started OLD I specifically explained I didn't have kids nor did I want kids. I received an email from someone who had obviously read my profile with a sentence that went like this.
"You are going to absolutely love my kids. My boy is 8 and my girl is six and I have full custody of both of them. We are a great family to be around. "
I guess this man thought that since I didn't want to physically have children, that I would be thrilled that he already had 2 of them at his house already.
Run Forest run.
