    This story is ridiculous...
    A 21-year-old who fathered his first child at 13 is about to become a dad for the seventh time.

    Keith Macdonald, from Washington, Tyne and Wear has been branded a "reckless Romeo" after it emerged that all his children are by different women.

    He is reported to be living apart from the mother-to-be.

    As he is unemployed he does not support his children financially, but Mr Macdonald says he has no plans to father any more children

    'Not happy'

    The north east has a high rate of teenage pregnancies, with 52 girls per 1,000 under 18 becoming pregnant, as opposed to an England average of 42.

    Condom manufacturers also report low sales in the region.

    Mr Macdonald said he did not want to have any more children and that his mother has strong views about the situation.

    He said: "My mum's not happy about all these kids.

    "She tells me to pack it in and keep it in my trousers."

    Imagine having this guy as your father. :rolleyes: I wonder how many kids he'll have by the time he's 31. He'll probably be a grandfather by then...

    A cull is in order tbh.

    Jesus thats nuts... although for some reason im hardly suprised, its not the first time ive heard a similar story. Basically he sounds like he doesnt understand the meaning of "protected sex" however saying that the girls are stupid enough to do the same.

    'The Snip' is in order tbh. Its not the kids fault.

    The word scumbag springs to mind. A Dad at 13? 7 kids by 21? And what did the girls think they were playing at? Its the kids who I feel sorry for. When his eldest is 50 his Dad will be 63. How weird would that be!

    Least he'll never be short of golfinng partners.

    Hell, a bit of ambition and he could start a soccer team.

    I'd hate to be paying his child support payments.

    Thanks that correct, by kids i meant his offspring in response to another poster saying a cull was in order :rolleyes:

    yeah i know, was just using the description used up above. I think the guy needs to cop onto himself, he clearly doesnt care to much about the amount of sprogs he s having. and to be honest, its down to the girls aswell, they should have insisted on protection.

    EDIT: Apologise "the gooner" thought you were saying it wasnt the guys fault when you said kid..

    No worries, I was just suggesting he get the snip instead of 'culling the kids'.

    Daddy seems like a mindless oaf to be honest.

    i know a guy who has 6 (that we know of. rumours about another 2 or 3 are abound) for three different women. he's the same age as me. (30)
    he doesn't pay child support for the three eldest and lives with the mother of the three youngest (the youngest being 6 months old).
    greedy bastards, these people. here i am, childless and they have loads of kids running around. i only want one or two. is that too much to ask?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭the Shades


    If he's had 7 kids so far I wonder how many other girls he was with who might have got pregnant and decided not to keep the baby?

    you are!

    and so am I, and the rest of you.

    if he's got the time and energy to father that many children you can guarantee he's not working for a living which means we're supporting his 'addiction' and the consequences.
