Best answer. Everyone has some sort of baggage. Why is having kids from a previous relationship seen as baggage??

I’m glad it wasn’t for my bf. He accepted my daughter as his own and now we have a son together.

Edit: This isn’t an open discussion for child free people to tell me why have kids are baggage. My opinion obviously contradicts yours so you gain nothing out of going back and forth with me. If you think kids are baggage that’s cool, but over here, we don’t use that word that has negative stigma/connotation behind it when it comes to the little ones, it’s just not in me to do that, as a mother. 
**Yes, it worked out for me, someone with kids, to date someone without a child and he took my kid as his own and turned around and planned a child with me too. Sorry the world isn’t entirely negative or a constant struggle for every single mother on the planet. I am grateful for my situation every day, you guys can’t steal my joy. Keep reporting me to redditcareresources even though nothing I said hinted at suicide. Reddit is sad😁**

True, but not all baggage is baggage that will possibly ruin future relationships. Baggage means kids, debt or emotional illness. 

&gt;Why is having kids from a previous relationship seen as baggage??

Because if you are in a relationship with someone who has a child, you are supposed to be in a relationship with the child too. Depending on the child's age and if the other parent is present, you may even have to be an actual parent to said child. And if the other parent is present, where does that leave you? Do you have authority over raising the child? Will you be demanded to pay money for the child? If the babby mamma/daddy is a crazy ex, you have to deal with that too. All that puts stress on the relationship. Honestly, i would never marry a man with kids. Way too much drama
