[quote=Anonymous]I would break up with her.  She is not a bad person for not wanting kids; she was completely upfront about it.  The current situation isn't really fair to anyone.

I do take offense to one of your statements, though.  Your kids DON'T need a new mom.  They have a mom.  I understand that she is not responsible enough to take care of them right now, but she remains their mom.  You are completely capable of loving and raising your kids without a female in your life.

If you meet someone who loves you and your kids, that is awesome.  Don't assume that your kids will necessarily love her.  Just take it one step at a time, but know that a new mom is not a requirement for raising healthy, loving, successful kids.

As for your girlfriend, she sounds like a good person.  I can understand how conflicted she feels.  She knows you need to put the kids first, but is still able to voice her resentment.  I think that is good.  If you break up, don't blame it on her not wanting to be a mom.  Tell her that you don't want to put her in a situation that she never wanted (parenthood).  [/quote]
