Kendra Wilkinson, new mom to Hank Jr., is taking her son to meet her ex -- Hugh Hefner.
Could Hank Jr. be the coolest baby on the planet, having the bragging rights that he's pottied at the Playboy mansion or is it just weird that he's meeting mommy's ex?
I'm one of those people who is friends with exes...yes plural. And I don't mean just on Facebook.
My husband is in a band with an ex and I recently attended the wedding celebration of a former flame. Weird? Maybe. But it works for us. Though if you asked me a few years ago if I would be friends with exes I would have probably said hell, no. Sometimes things just happen.
Now Kendra, who gained fame from her relationship with Hef, also has her dalliances with her previous love interest all on film. The Girls Next Door aired for five years with her on the show. So those sweet nothings, smooches, hand holding, and jumping in bed with another man are all there for Hank Jr. to see when he gets older.
Of course, so is the nude Playboy spread.
I happen to love Kendra -- well, what I know of her on TV. She seems bubbly and sweet, and even though her laugh annoyed me early on, I find it adorable now. Her husband, football player Hank Baskett, is a cutie and they seem to have a solid relationship. Plus, Kendra and I were pregnant and had our babies around the same time.
I, like Kendra, have a past that isn't exactly G-rated (I've written about sex extensively) and someday when my kids are old enough to discover that mommy wrote a book with suggestions on sex positions alongside very graphic photos (of models, not me!) they may either hate it or think it's terribly cool (but they might not admit it).
My twins are only 3 months old, so I have time for that and I plan on being a very open and honest parent -- I'm not going to hide things from them, but I will only share things with them when I think the time is right for them to understand.
My ex has met my twins. But I certainly wouldn't introduce them to all my exes. There are some I wish I never was introduced to! So I don't think it's odd or unhealthy for Hef to meet little Hank. Big Hank doesn't seem to mind, so why should we?
Would you introduce your baby to your ex?

No I don't think so but if I was walking by them maybe?
I never went to bed with my ex's... But if I saw one of them today (which is geographicly impossible), I would ignore them and pretend I didnt see them. That would hurt my husbands feelings, even though he would probably never admit it. I know that if he saw his ex (he never went to bed with them either) and he introduced our babies to her, I would be furious. Ofcourse, I'd be covering up hurt feelings, but I'd still be very angry. All men are different, and if MINE were to do something like that, it would mean something was up.
Of course I would and have. I've got quite a few ex's I was friends with (lost touch after this last move) and I totally introduced my son when I saw them why not?
Their father also intro. our son (only child at the time) to his ex.
I dated people that I gen. liked as a person so even when we were no longer toghether (and after some time) was happy to stay friends with them... to whatever extent life let us.
My parents are the same way btw, which means that we have a very healthy blended family, we can all get toghether ex's and present partners and be okay.
One of my exes happens to be my husband's cousin, so obviously has met my kids.
I don't think it's weird if you are still friends with your ex that you introduce your baby to him. Now if you were no longer friends and you intentionally introduce your baby to your ex, that would be a little weird.
My ex was just at my house yesterday, while I WASN'T here, because he was hanging out with my husband and daughter! We've been good friends for over 10 years now, so even though we dated off and on for about 2 years, our friendship is what worked out better (and he and DH get along great). Have only seen one other ex since having my daughter, but we don't run in the same circle of friends so it was just a nice hello at the grocery store and that was about it. There's a couple of ex's I would definitely introduce my daughter (and next baby) to, but they don't live in the area.
it depends on the ex, if I slept with them no.... I don't talk to sex exes and neither does hubby. if I hadn't slept with them probably yes if we happened to run into them.
My ex knows my little girl.. Hell, my SO is one if his best friends!! Weird, yes, but we get along now so oh well!
Not really a big deal, I have several friends that I dated at one time or another, one of them was at my wedding and my dh was in his, so when we are blessed with children they will meet some of my exes & some of dh's, but they will be introduced as our friends cuz that's what they are.
NEVER! I HATE my ex-boyfriend, he's such a loser. I'd never let him near my children or my husband. Ick! Sorry, bad memories....
