Shun:

Shannon:
all.

Shun:
We're gonna get tonight's episode started so On last week we discussed what it looked like when women have children with different fathers or married to a man Who's not the biological father of the child? Tonight we're going to take a look at the other side of the coin and dive into some situations and scenarios concerning dads who are married, who are dating other women who are not the mother of their child, or children. You may have joint custody, or maybe you're the sole provider for the children for whatever reason, whether it be mom has moved on and decided she doesn't want the responsibilities, because that happens, or maybe she just checked out and just doing her own thing, or the worst case scenario, you know, the mom may have passed on. And that's been happening more often than not and the father's forced, you know to be a single dad Shannon you and I were just discussing,

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
you know the sad passing of the comedian dc young flies partner You know

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
rest in peace to that beautiful queen and god bless him and those babies, but that's got to be a tough thing

Shannon:
Right,

Shun:
Yeah,

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
and fellas, you know, however, you may find yourself at the head of that table with these precious gifts treasure it You know that god brought you to it and he'll see you through it.

Shannon:
Yes. And speaking of tragedy, you know, I've known a couple of situations where the wife has died young and the husband was left with small children. And the father then, of course, starts dating

Shun:
Mm-hmm.

Shannon:
and bringing in different women and the children, in my opinion. are trauma already traumatized from losing

Shun:
Yes.

Shannon:
their mother. So as soon as a mother figure comes through the door, they're attached. They're like, oh my

Shun:
Yes.

Shannon:
God, I have a mother again. And the dude's like, I'm just dating, you know?

Shun:
Right.

Shannon:
So he has a revolving door. And so the kids are re-traumatized over and over as the man is trying to figure it out, you know? I wish, I know that it's, you can't speak on grief. you know, and he's

Shun:
Right.

Shannon:
a widow and, you know, he's grieving obviously and trying to, you know, work on his pain. But I would wish that, you know, men would think, let me at least go date the woman away from the kids, you know,

Shun:
It's

Shannon:
you

Shun:
just

Shannon:
can

Shun:
like

Shannon:
date

Shun:
what we

Shannon:
and

Shun:
were

Shannon:
work

Shun:
discussing

Shannon:
on

Shun:
last

Shannon:
healing

Shun:
week. Yeah, it's like we were discussing last week with the women. It's the exact

Shannon:
with

Shun:
same,

Shannon:
the women.

Shun:
it's the exact same, let me get it right, it's the exact

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
same scenario, just with a different species, a different gender. Date away from the kids. In those cases, like they

Shannon:
Yeah...

Shun:
have to move on, you know? They have to date, they have to move on with their lives. But do it away from the kids until you know it's serious. So the same thing applies as it did last week.

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
I just tend to walk a little more gently with the guys in this area. You know, because as moms we are naturally built, you know, and designed to nurture and rear babies. It's not so much for the men. They're designed to protect and provide by nature, you know. But as with anything,

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
like sometimes the roles are just unfortunately reversed and it's become a way more common.

Shannon:
Yeah, yeah. And I have met, you know, men that are, you know, single, not due to any tragedy or anything. And they are very good about, you know, not introducing women to their children. So you do find, you know, the exceptions, even those

Shun:
right.

Shannon:
that aren't, you know, they're not nurturers like us. But there are those who... It becomes

Shun:
exceptions.

Shannon:
innate, I guess, after a while. Yeah, yeah.

Shun:
Well, I'll share something personal on that point real quick. A few years ago, when we had our last child, our son, he was about one and a half, almost two. We had to suddenly move out of our home that we'd been in since he'd been born. And my husband's mom did not want us to all live with her. So I asked my best friend, could we crash with her so we can find another place? And of course it wasn't enough for six people, because we had

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
our four children and us. So my husband said, hey, you know, I'll just go back to my mom's until we figure it out. So naturally I was sad because our son had been attached

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
to him since he could literally move. Even before he could walk Shannon, he was crawling to the garage, wherever his daddy was trying

Shannon:
No.

Shun:
to fix something. I mean, he was picking up wrenches at like nine months. This is no lie.

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
Picking up the weights with him. So he was used to being with his father. And I was like, our last night in the house, I was like, look. I know this is gonna be stressful, I'm just like, make sure you see him daily, cause this will affect him.

Shannon:
And...

Shun:
My husband looked me dead in the eye girl and was like, you make sure you see him daily, he's coming with me. So I was like, what? He's like, I'm not standing my boy with a whole house full of women, that's not happening. Girl,

Shannon:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Shun:
I said, well, shut your mouth and keep on talking. Honey, I wasn't putting up a fight.

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
I raised my three daughters mostly alone.

Shannon:
Yeah, yeah,

Shun:
I mean, I was married

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
for a little bit with them, For the most part, I was a single mom. I buy that deal for a dollar any day. But seriously, he didn't ask me, was it okay? I didn't have

Shannon:
Right,

Shun:
a say so,

Shannon:
right,

Shun:
or do you

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
think you should take him? The man in him said, I'm taking my son. And

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
I say to that, some men do have, you know, the instinct to real, like you said, some are natural with it. But

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
like I said, we are just born to do it. But some of them

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
instinctively picked it up and he did it without a fight. And some of them do. without a fight

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
they take on their responsibility.

Shannon:
They do. They do. Yeah, and then for the different, you know, women that are dating the men with the children,

Shun:
Mm-hmm.

Shannon:
you know, if you're one of many, you know, baby mamas with a guy, or say he has some, or maybe it's you and another baby mama, and you don't meet that baby mama, you're around his kids. you should speak up and say something. Hey, when am I going to meet the mother if she's around, if she's in the picture, when am I going to meet her? Now, if she's not in the picture, like I have another

Shun:
different story.

Shannon:
friend who, yeah, that's a different story. The woman didn't want anything to do with her child. And so she actually left the state even. Not

Shun:
Wow.

Shannon:
just, yeah, not just her baby, but she left. So of course, in those situations, That's different. But I would think you would want to meet whoever is around your children. And you would want to meet, on the opposite side, you would want to meet the mother of his children because that shows that he is respecting you as well as his child. Because if a man would have his child around someone that the mother doesn't even know, what does that say about him? Yeah.

Shun:
Right. I know this will be a different conversation for some, but if say the relationship was over and the dad wanted to take the child or children because he was either spiteful, or maybe he thought the mom was unfit, things are not always gonna be smooth. But

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
still, you need to keep it decent and respectful for the kids, like you said, if they are around. And if it's something like you two as parents can't just work out amongst yourselves, find a level-headed mediator. because sometimes it's best to hear things you know from someone with a different perspective who doesn't have a bias either way. But however, like if the mom's spiteful or if you're spiteful, if you can work it out, if you have a new partner, you're absolutely right. It's best to try to have everyone come together because anyone, and it's healthy for the child, right? To see all these people who are in my life get along.

Shannon:
Yeah,

Shun:
I mean, we don't have

Shannon:
and

Shun:
to be

Shannon:
it,

Shun:
besties. We don't have to go

Shannon:
right,

Shun:
out to eat in

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
spa days, but it's best to

Shannon:
Yeah,

Shun:
keep it cordial, you know?

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
And then what do we always say? You got to keep a decent healthy relationship for the kids and put your, put yourself aside.

Shannon:
Yeah, yeah. And even if you don't want to be around that other person on a regular basis, you don't have to. We're not saying that. We're not

Shun:
Right.

Shannon:
saying you have to sit and, you know, be up in someone's face, you know,

Shun:
for hours.

Shannon:
24-7, yeah, or

Shun:
Mm-hmm.

Shannon:
for hours on end. But you do have to know who they are. You should know who each other, you know, who's around your children are, who, who... is the mother of the children that you're around, you know, you should

Shun:
That's right.

Shannon:
have a need to know that information and let the kids see that you all know each other. Like I said, you don't have to spend any time together whatsoever, but that refusal to meet the other person, I've heard that so many times. No, I've never spoken to my, my husband's ex or the baby mother of

Shun:
my

Shannon:
my husband

Shun:
boyfriend's kids.

Shannon:
or boyfriend. Yeah, exactly.

Shun:
Yeah.

Shannon:
So I think that should be a given that you should want to know.

Shun:
And you know, another angle, Shanna, you can take what that is, health-wise. Say you've never had the mom.

Shannon:
Oh yeah.

Shun:
And like I said, dads are good. Dads are great. Like I said, my husband's sometimes better with the kids because I'm just on one some days, but not every

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
man is the same. But I'm saying like by nature, I mean, it's just a given fact. We're moms, that's what we do. But say it's an allergy. Say if it's an epileptic event. And the father sometimes just either forgets or they're just not attentive.

Shannon:
Hehehe

Shun:
Or they just honestly don't mention it and the new girlfriend is watching the kids because he got called into work or he ran To the gym or whatever and they feed the kids peanuts I mean The dad didn't tell you but I know a mother as i know me as a mom Hey, look, this is what

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
my kid canna have this is where they go and they can't go Even if the father don't tell as the mom i'm letting you know,

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
this is what's up with this

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
kid You know you and daddy have

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
fun, but this is what goes on with my baby and this is how it goes down you know, so

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
It's many different reasons why this should happen and our egos

Shannon:
Uh huh.

Shun:
and attitudes shouldn't get in the way of that.

Shannon:
Right, right, not at all.

Shun:
Now This is a tough part of this discussion, but necessary, you know I like you said Shannon we know a lot of responsible single dads, you know I mean I know quite a few and they're out here doing their things Doing the thing doing the thing kudos to you guys You know, like I

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
said men are not recognized as often as ladies for being single dads But I know some ghosts, you know, and I take my hands off I take my head off to him because there's a woman sometimes I'm like, oh my god, Cal gone So when you guys are doing it, you know, I give it

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
to you. I give it up for you. But how you say Shannon, but, but.

Shannon:
But...

Shun:
Y'all know everybody don't do right. And you have these

Shannon:
Yeah...

Shun:
men

Shannon:
But...

Shun:
who have these kids all on the street corner with them. Like you said, Shannon, women running in and out, crazy stuff, talking crazy,

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
doing the most,

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
right? Now, just

Shannon:
Yep.

Shun:
like women. Men should be allowed to explore and date and find their paths too. You know having children shouldn't hinder them from that. Being a single dad shouldn't hinder you from your life going on no more than being a single mom should. But

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
use wisdom. You have to use wisdom. Women are sometimes cruel especially if they think the child is getting more attention than them. You know we have those women too.

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
Have you ever seen the movie Parent Trap Shannon? I don't think you I don't know if you have. You don't have kids but I've seen all the kids movie girl. Well, anyways, these were the set of twins, right? So the mom and the dad decided they're not gonna make it. So at birth, they take, you know, very small. I think even before six months, the dad take one, the mom takes one, but she's so in love with him, she can't stand the same. So she moves to like Europe, I believe. And they raise these kids until they're like 13 or 14. And the twins end up at summer camp together. And they find out and figure out their twins. because

Shannon:
Hehehe

Shun:
one twin has a picture of the mom, one has a dad. But anyways, I'm getting into

Shannon:
Okay.

Shun:
a fictional family, but anyway, I had to say this. They had a stepmother, the father was engaged, right? And then he found out that the other daughter, had found a daughter and they were sisters. So he took both of the kids and he's like, well, now that they know they're sisters, I'm not gonna keep them apart. Girl, that woman was doing the most to them kids, but they got her behind, because she got them at teenage years. You can't fool with these kids these days. But I said that she acted like she was so in love with her dad and oh, we're going to have daughters. And she told him, we sent them to boarder school as soon as we say I do. You got to watch these women because some

Shannon:
See?

Shun:
of them stick

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
honey,

Shannon:
Yeah,

Shun:
they be having their own

Shannon:
you

Shun:
motives.

Shannon:
do.

Shun:
So you have to watch their actions with these women and your children. Don't just let men, don't just let words be all you have. Listen to the kids, especially if you leave them alone with certain men. I mean, I really never had the issue when it came to my children, you know, and their fathers dating because When I'm done, I'm done, like I said, I don't keep an attitude. I don't want to go back. Maybe it can work.

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
I'm out. But I think for the most part, they read my resumes to whatever chicks they was dealing with because I never had that problem, girl, they ain't want no smoke. So I was thankful for that because honey, as I get older,

Shannon:
Right, right.

Shun:
fighting was it, but I got a few good ones left

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
in me, you know, when it comes to my kids. So you got to be careful and protective of your kids, you know.

Shannon:
Yeah, and I like that Sean, that needs men know, listen to your children. It doesn't

Shun:
Yeah.

Shannon:
matter, you know, what this woman looks like, what she smells like, what,

Shun:
That's

Shannon:
you know,

Shun:
it.

Shannon:
none of that. None

Shun:
How

Shannon:
of

Shun:
she

Shannon:
that.

Shun:
putting it down? Those children

Shannon:
Right,

Shun:
should come

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
first.

Shannon:
Exactly.

Shun:
That's the absolute fact. And another point I want to make clear from last week for you fellas, it's just unhealthy to have all kinds of women around your kids, just like it's unhealthy for women to have all kinds of men. Malestation can

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
go both ways.

Shannon:
Yes,

Shun:
And

Shannon:
they

Shun:
women

Shannon:
can.

Shun:
are much slicker than men, you know? And I'm not just talking about

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
sexual contact either. Although it does happen, but they could be teaching your sons and daughters inappropriate things, you know, period,

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
and you don't

Shannon:
Yep.

Shun:
want that.

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
So when dealing with these girls, keep it classy fellas, because you will be your son's first example of how to treat a woman. And you're teaching

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
your daughters what she should and should not accept when it comes to a man. Just always keep

Shannon:
Exactly.

Shun:
that in mind.

Shannon:
Absolutely. Love it.

Shun:
Right, so I'm gonna go up into our red line

Shannon:

Shun:

So on this particular episode, Fred is being a player, player. So he is, at this time, engaged to Donna. Everyone knows Donna, the nurse he dated and was with for many, many years. Well, on this particular day. He had invited Donna for dinner. While at the house, a sales lady comes by selling something, a very attractive black woman. He's smitten right away. They end up talking and she sticks around for several hours, three hours, and he says, How about you come back for dinner? And she says, oh, sure, of course. I'll come back later for dinner. And his son, Lamont, says to him, but after Donna leaves, I'm sorry, after the sales lady leaves, his son says to him, but you've already invited Donna over. And so of course he says, let me call Donna and tell her not to come. So he calls, she's not there, he leaves a message. Donna calls back and Lamont answers the phone and tells her to come on over, of course, because he's trying to sabotage. And so she shows up. And so here you have the two women there that night sitting there, everyone looking crazy. Fred is, you know, sweating bullets. And... The women eventually find out why they're both there. They turn on Fred and storm out the door. And Fred is left there looking stupid after trying to be such a player, player. And that is the fictional family that I'm feeling, the Sanford's.

Shun:
Now Fred is too old for the foolishness.

Shannon:
I'm going to go to bed.

Shun:
Lord, it ain't no ain't no lemon on the foolishness. What?

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
