ATL Celebrilove: Shoulder Leanin' When I See You

`Well I'll be! The blogosphere is confirming that Yung Dro and Fantasia are indeed a couple and that she may even be pregnant. I'll admit that they are an interesting pair together--I think I kinda like it. Both seem about as real as you can get. Looks like Dro dropped his petite little light skinned girlfriend...or maybe he still keeps her on the side...who knows...

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Featured Articles: "I Dont Do Teenagers"

This morning on the Frank and Wanda morning show, Frank told of a caller--a single mom who was raising her son alone. When she got to her wits end because of his behavior she called his father and said that she thought the son should live with him. The father said he'd talk it over with his new wife. Well, the new wife said, sorry boo, i dont do teenagers!

Things brings up a whole host of issues:

1) Should you get into a relationship with a man that has preexisting children if you cannot handle the thought of one day raising them.
2) Can you truly love a man if you cant accept his children?
3) That father was a father to that son before he was a husband to the new wife, should he have asked her if the kid could come and stay, or should he have merely informed her he was coming?
4) Will that son truly be happy in a home in which he's not wanted
5) Since when do moms get mad at their sons and drop them off at someone else's house to live permanently?

I can see all three sides to this story...BUT they need to have a good old cosby style family meeting to get over the mom's weakness, the dad's cowardly approach, and the step mom's selfishness.
