Vanessa,
Honestly, no matter what people may say, I think that their initial response to 3 kids/3 dads would not be a good one. I think that they would, at first, jump to the conclusion that you were irresponsible or whatever. Certainly, they would likely understand if they took the time to get to know you, but initially there is certainly a stigma attached to those circumstances.

One thing I truly believe is that no one owes anyone else an explanation about their life. You either take the time to get to know someone or you don't and you simply judge them without knowing all the facts. My initial post was that...a judgement based on information I had available. I'm not changing my opinion, I'm just saying my views might be different if I took the time to get to know this person. I certainly have issues in my past that people would disagree with, but I don't seek approval or acceptance of those situations. I think it's when you throw your private life into public forums that you open yourself up and have to be ready to accept criticisms and judgements...right or wrong.
