What are things that you couldn't understand as a child but now do as an adult....

[JasonSJackson]

I vividly remember one occasion of being in the car conversing with my mother when i was a child. Somewhere in this particular conversation she told me that there were people who don't believe in God, I could not understand how that was possiable at the time. Thank God I don't feel that way personally but I now I understand how some people do.

I also can remember not understanding how people not only could k1ll other people but could do so over things that seemed so trivial to me at the time like stepping on someone else's shoes, reckless gazes, etc. As I've gotten older I understand how these things happen.

What are some things that you couldn't understand as a child but now do?

Staying in school...

Drug money is bullshyt money in the long run ...

I never understood the appeal of marriage/having kids when I was a kid. Adolescence is a funny thing, I'm still 10/15 years away from getting married but I know I'll be a GREAT husband/father.

I couldn't understand how a father could abandon his kids and not be apart of they life...."daddy"


But as i got older and realize how these bytches operate my eyes got opened...not sayin my mama was like these dumb ho's outchea...i definitely couldn't IMAGINE my mama tellin my pops "We don't need you! take ya bum azz on,you don't ever have to see us again bytch azz nikka!"....."These aint even ya kids bytch azz nikka"

I couldn't IMAGINE my mama sayin that at all knowing her as i know her,but i don't know what they relationship was like....but i can see a little better why a nikka would say to some kids and his baby mama,even though i personally couldn't imagine doin it.

i feel bad for nikkas who grow up hatin they pops then get older and you start to see ya mama from the perspective of a grown man,and suddenly you can understand ya mama aint shyt and might be a little crazy and understand why ya daddy mighta got the fuk up outta dodge...even though u still love ya mama

Definitely true, maturing/interacting with women COMPLETELY changes your relationship with your female relatives (sisters as well as mothers). Before when they used to tell me about how some men are a$$holes/dogs I'd be and ready to fukk a nikka up. Now I just sit there like

Word?

A real man will see his kids regardless......and he will take care of them.

a REAL MAN doesn't look to females to help him define his masculinity. I wouldn't try to define a "real woman" for you, so why should I take your opinion on "real men" seriously?

I didn't say u or any man was looking to me to define your masculinity but the reality is women have their own perception of what a man is. And for me a boy is someone who makes weak excuses to why he isn't taking care of his kids or seeing them. A real man would know better.

I could care less if you agree with me. I know you won't anyways

something similar for me. when my parents divorced, and my mom hit him with the child support, he kind of disappeared, and his life really unraveled.i didnt understand why he wasnt around much anymore, and why i had heard he had spent some time in jail.

now i find myself in a similar situation and it all makes sense now. he was started doing illegal shyt just to try and get by. i now have been considering selling drugs or something

True but i think its obvious a lot of women are sleeping with a lot of fake men,if women are going to sleep with so many fake men they shouldn't say things that will run those fake men off so easily and then get mad about it when those fake men say fuk her and those kids cuz they dont want the stress.

That "a real man will see his kids regardless" is usless ammo against a "fake man" and doesn't help the kids feel any better at all....its a lot like that "real men will never hit a woman" catch phrase women like to fall back on....i think its time to deal im reality now and not cute catch phrases...and women should try to act like they got sense and allow these "fake men" to see they kids without all the bullshyt...a "fake man" in his childs life is better than no man 9 times outta 10

wait hol up....FEMALES DONT help define a mans masculinity??

Not mine. Women know nothing about being men, just like we know nothing about being a woman. I looked up to my big brother and father when I was growing up
