Some of their kids were already teenagers when they found out about their existence...

In this collection, 13 guys share how they responded after learning they had kids, sometimes as babies, sometimes as teenagers, and sometimes as adults. The stories range from stunned silence to outright anger, and a few of them show what happens when a hidden family secret finally comes out.
Some of these reactions are messy, and a few are hard to defend. Read on.
1. That's not very fair.
...to anyone involved, honestly.
whisperThat first reaction says a lot.
2. Wow, screw her.
If you want to be in your daughter's life, then that girlfriend wasn't right for you.
whisper3. She's almost an adult...
That must be painful.
whisper
This one only gets more awkward from there.
4. Sure, worry about your girlfriend and not your traumatized son.
That makes sense. NOT.
whisper
5. "Without telling me..."
I wonder how many teenagers 20 years ago had a choice.
whisper
6. I feel sorry for the kid.
But this dad is disappointing.
whisper
Not every response lands well.
It’s hard not to compare this to someone debating whether to tell siblings about their dad’s secret love child.
7. Stepping up to the plate.
Give this guy a pat on the back for not being a disappointment.
whisper
8. 10 years...
Whoops.
whisper
9. Wishing the secret went back to being a secret?
It must not be very enjoyable to be the child of some of these parents.
whisper
That secret clearly changed everything.
10. When he wants to check TF out...
Insert condescending glare here.
whisper
11. That would be a lot to take in.
Especially seeing the spitting image of yourself out of nowhere!
whisper
12. WOW
Good luck with that; it seems like an awful lot of money!
whisper
13. He said no thanks?
What a wiener.
