    Word up ya'll don't even know and what made the conversation go in the emotional direction for me was when she said to me "your such a difficult person to deal with". My response was do you know what you have put me through these past 3 years. I haven't seen my kids in 2 1/2 years because she sent them to Jamaica with her side of the family. And since I have no relationship with her family guess who's my only line of communication. My only happiness with all of this is hearing my oldest daughter over the phone call me daddy.

    Where is she? Your Babymoms in Jamaica with them?

    Can't you take her to court? That has "illegal" written all over it. She'd need you to sign a consent form, which any man with love for their child wouldn't do. Sorry to hear you're going through that ? .

    I hope at least 3 of the females in your family are planning to murder that ? when she's back in town.....

    Long story short no. A lawyer let me know. I know a more expensive lawyer would have probably said different. But because all my kids where born in Jamaica I can't do ? . I don't know if you know this but a lot of Jamaicans when they have kids they have their parents or elders raise them on the island as they make money in the U.S. In this time the parents supports the child plus the relative they say it's so the child will know about the Jamaican roots, language etc etc. To me that's ? to me that's another way for family to have a come up. One day when I told her her having them over there was ? and wasn't fair to me she told me well that's how she was raised. I told her well you know what I was raised by my parents and I'm not Jamaican so bring my kids back. Supposedly they will be back by the Summer.

    ahh aight then now i understand. Bronzeville is cool though i wouldn't mind living there at all, or anywhere south gap, south loop, kenwood or down in hyde park. i grew up out in beverly mostly and lived in ukrainian village for a time... i had it nice for the most part. probably i'll move up to the northwest side around northwoods before the kid starts elementary though there are nice parts of the southside but i'd rather my kid not have to venture through some of these hoods to get from one point to the next like i used to.

    I ain't tryin' to get all in yours but how could you not see all this comin' before you knocked that ? up with the first couple of kids? How did they end up born in Jamaica?


    I wanna strangle that ? for you man..... Hahaha.

    @ Killa man this women was everything I wanted when things were good I mean usual relationship problems but nothing you and the next man haven't been through. My Twins came during that whole lets be a family time and like I said there is more to the story. And they were all born in Jamaica because of that part of the story. It's madd long with so many twist and turns that I'm seriously thinking of writing a book about it. When it's finished a publisher will probably tell me ? you no one could have gone through this and still be sane. This has to be fiction, but no it's 100 my past 3 yers.

    word i'd do it in a hearbeat if i could find work in the burbs but i work in finance and all jobs for me are in the loop.. commuting every day through traffic isn't anything i'm about to get involved with. i'm happy to take the metra or el before i subject myself to a life of that ? traffic is a nightmare these days that's the main thing that ? me off about livin here.

    yeah...i take the metra and the el most of the time also when i head further out south of if i need to get out west.....



    it's a different vibe in the burbs..true enough living in the city is convienient for somethings but it mainly boils down to a decent quality of life. i'm not saying the city is all bad but things are alot less complicated in the burbs..

    Anything can happen anywhere but Northside baby minus a lot of Rogers Park and Uptown. I paid a lot for my Condo but it was worth it.


    @Gutta *daps* I know it's early in the day but here you go playboy

    Ya I live in North Park by North Eastern and it is so quiet over here. Since I live next to the Chicago river branches I've seen deer early in the morning, and racoons at night but I rather deal with that than a gang member. I don't know if you've read my post in this thread but when my kids get back I want them to live up here with me. They're mothers house off of 79th, and I don't want them to see none of that dumb ? .
