Dear Warbird,
Thanks for your replies and sharings. It has been very enlightening. In fact, your philosophy can be applied beyond romancing girls.
That said, I wanted to ask your management philosophy (and wisdom) on the abovementioned situation that you disclosed previously:
1. I understand that some women want to bear kids for males, in hope that they get more "official" status. While kids can be cute, and we may also like to have more children, but if you are married (and I would presume you are intending to stay married to your current wife), what are the traits in your LPs that gives you confidence that they will not pressure you in any way (be it financially or seeking official status), once they have your kids, for you to give your approval for them to bear your kids? (I am sure you will not agree to every LP of yours to bear kids for you.)
2. Even if they are not demanding any financial guarantees nor status, are they demanding more of your time, citing the child needing paternal love as reason? How do you cope with that?
3. Legal liabilities. While I am not sure if there is a demand to register you on their birth certificates, but certainly there will be legal liabilities to manage, should the relationship turn sour with your LP. (She can cite you have kid responsibility and that can go beyond just financial provision and into challenging for part of your estate.) Of course, this area needs to be managed, and if possible, could you share your management philosophy.
What I must emphasize here is this: your management philosophy is transferable beyond managing your LPs, and managing your LPs with a kid requires an even higher management skills. I am sure you have considered very deeply on these issues before agreeing to let your selected LP have your kids.
