3 reasons to do this
Heir to success. If the child becomes successful in adulthood, he/she could be your retirement plan...or maybe a portion of this.
Could be the difference maker between the child helping or destroying the family.
Impart bloodline items to the niece/nephew
Reasons to NOT do this
No consequences for the single mother. Just another free ride with no accountability. Thus, giving her the leeway to do it again.
Sorry ass children may not want to listen to you.
Fradulent use of money gifts (give money to the kids, the mother will just take it for stupid purchases.)
Still connected with her baby daddies (Usually the case 70% of the time)
If baby daddy is of the Pookie/RayRay/Brad mindset, rest assured they are connected with people of similar mindset, thus, having your life in danger.
Her Close family members will see you as an Attack dog and ATM.
False Allegations regarding anything.
In theory, this would be a decent idea, depending on the family dynamics and the single mother's mental space. In opinion, this works in the 1980's and 1990s. For current times, the cost-benefits analysis does not favor men in this. You did not help create the child, so, you should not be obligated (forced by society or family) to aid the single mother (family relatives or random women)

From making it difficult to complete a task to making you feel like you are an unmotivated individual, a lack of discipline can really take a lot out of you. Here are five effects of lack of discipline on your life.
Introduction
Discipline is an essential component of accomplishing one’s goals. It is the ability to make decisions and adhere to them regardless of how difficult they get, without wavering.

I just realised I forgot to include a pretty important scene in my last update of 'It runs in the blood'.
I guess this is what happens when I write without structure or drafts or too many plans, thinking 'I'll remember to add that when the time comes'.
Well, I didn't remember.
I don't know how I'll get myself out of this one 😂

anyways, i definitely agree with the need for fandom to treat child characters as the children they are meant to be & be far more understanding of that which can be explained by their age, but it is also very interesting to me that this shift in mindset aligns almost completely with the diluted parenting influencer friendly version of. hm. explaining why the behavior is the way it is in a way that focuses on the incapability of children given their age whereas the science itself on that all of those explanations/reasoning for why behavior is the way it is is actually meant to be utilized and focused in on then working with the age-appropriate *capabilities* of the child in question.
like. okay, so. a Lot of the ideas behind understanding children's brains and working with the understanding of the child's brain come from dan siegel (a psychiatrist who focuses on the neuroscience of the development of the human brain through their life and the need to understanding how the human brain integrates as it ages to be able to understand the why of childhood behaviors and brain development to be able to manage them) and magda gerber (a child development expert who pioneered RIE & the idea of respecful care for the infant and young children by childhood educators, who janet lansbury, a former actress and educator has taken her tenets and since evolved into them into idea of respectful parenting and the push towards there are no bad kids, just infants, toddlers, and kids who experience normal, age appropriate behaviors). and these people's works are fascinating (even if i don't wholly & completely agree with any one philosophy myself) & are generally the go-to pop psychology when it comes to understanding why kids are the way they are. the things about "oh, x character is only y age and is reacting as a child would because they have the brain of a child & are still learning how the world works" absolutely comes from the base concepts of these people's work! and that's a very good thing! greater understanding of kids in fiction is my jam.
but, like. the pop psychology version of these ideas that are spread by parenting influencers & eli5 articles like a game of telephone until it hardly resembles the original spirit of the science is super rampant & is basically diluted down to mainly trying to tamp down personal *frustration* with the behavior in question by recognizing where it's coming from (ie/ they are a child and you have to recognize the limitations/incapabilites of the child to get rid of your personal upsetness about it) & an extreme focus on how *you* can manage *yourself* and *your reaction* to the behavior because they are selling something to you. the focus is on you having to manage the child's incapabilites.
however, that's not the spirit of the actual science they they were laying down. honestly the very work itself often does acknowledge & affirm parental frustration with challenging behaviors & and doesn't diminish the very real feelings behavior provokes. it's not about "well don't be frustrated because they're kids & kids are going to be kids" (after all, diminishing or ignoring your own feelings is exactly antithetical to what you're trying to teach them about not diminishing their own feelings), it's about "we know the behavior is frustrating so here's how you can use your kids' age level capabilities to reduce the frustrating behavior". the work is about parenting modeling behavior to teach kids how to exist in the world, yes, but it's most definitely not about how kids are incapable because of their age or what they can't do. the science itself is incredibly focused on what they *can* do and how you can model your behavior & teach them in a way they will be able to learn from! the entire point is recognizing their innate ability to learn, you just have to teach them in a way they're able to learn from! the point of recognizing the limitations of age/the current state of the child's brain development is not to dismiss the frustrating behavior as just to be expected for their age, it's so that you know how to connect with what they can understand and do to help manage the unwanted behavior. it's a small distinction, but it's there. to me.

I'd like to get to a point where I can draw again and not be completely overwhelmed or underwhelmed by the attempt. I guess I'm just in a messed up place mentally, I miss drawing but any time I sit down to do it, it. Doesn't happen.

it's actually so insidious how insomnia can disrupt and ruin your life and we're all expected to just pretend like it's normal and not worthy of accommodations just bc its not an uncommon disorder.
ive lost nearly a week of valuable study time because im playing sleep catch-up. i havent hoovered in so long because you cant do that at 3am without being a dick. i cant hold down a job properly bc there isnt a guarantee ill be awake in time for my shift, and if i am, im exhausted and prone to mistakes.
i'm on 9mg of melatonin per night. ive been on melatonin since i was 11. ive tried every tip and trick under the sun. i cut caffeine, screens, i meditated, i counted sheep, i tried every dumb sleep remedy every tom, dick, and harry could throw at me, nothing works. it's just not treatable, i was even like this as an infant.
ive been sleep-exhausted my entire life, how is that not considered a disability??

i feel like a gigantic loser at the moment. and like a ridiculous and useless sort of person. when i get this way, i like to think about the professor who reached out to me after i dropped out of this college. a typical compliment from a professor i guess but it really moved me--continues to move me.

this assignment for my lit class is to come up with like, interview questions? for a character from one of our novels and i'm having such a hard time using my literary analysis brain instead of my 'wow that game was crazy you guys took five penalties in one period -- how do you guys keep your heads when there's so much happening on the ice like that? and to score three goals while all of that is happening too' brain
