4 children 4 dads

One of my close friends is expecting her 4th baby. She is getting a lot of stick from other people in our group of friends, and even some strangers, because the 4 children have different dads.

AIBU not to see this as an issue? She is a fab mum to the 3 she has. What business is it of other people and does it matter?

My mum has 4 children by 3 men, but with quite substantial age gaps between us. One was a youngish accident (me Grin ), one during marriage and two during a 10 year+ relationship. It's may not be ideal, and not what she probably imagined but that is life.

I really wouldn't judge

oh its quite normal where i live

in the cases i know of though often at least 1 - 2 of the dcs don't see their dads at all for whatever reason

i am not judging as soon i will have 3 dcs by 2 different men (am married to the dad of youngest though) but i think it must be confusing for the kids, even if all the dads saw all the kids, imagine all those dads and if the dads all had other kids as well
