One of the worst decisions you can ever make is to have kids with different women. I’ll tell you, I’m one of those people who are in it, and we can tell you that no matter the money that you think you have, no matter what you think you’re doing, trust me, that should never be a decision you’re going to make in your life.

Some of us are lucky enough that God has given us some good money to be able to take care of them, but taking care of them is not the problem. It’s managing the emotions of the adults who are their mothers.
