For me, it depends on the age of the kid. If they are in their toddlers stages, then no. I don’t like the idea of stepping on somebody’s else toes, and I don’t want to get into with the baby mama for being around her kid.
But, then again, I don’t want kids. So, I usually try to avoid people with kids. Although, it’s inevitable at this point lol.

Well i think of it like this. A baby daddy just mean she has a child and that child also spend time with her ex boyfriend. She was nice enough to let the child father still see the child and that’s a hard thing to do. Here’s the thing, I’m not a controlling type but if her and the ex father are still close and really get alone then I’m always going to feel like she’s cheating. So I wouldn’t be able to stay with her. Now if I could see that she isn’t close with the daddy or doesn’t like him, or even try not to look at him then I’ll be fine. For example the girl drops her baby off to the father and talks to him while she’s in the car about the baby and nothing else, and then she leaves. That’s shows that she doesn’t like the father and don’t even want a normal conversation with him. On the other hand she gets out the car and goes into his house and they talk for a while. That would mean there are still close and I wouldn’t be able to deal with that…

Somewhere, at some point in time, there will be an idiot who things they can cross AMagic, and they will quickly learn otherwise.
But as for me, I don’t really date, but if I did, I don’t like kids, but even if I got past that, I’d probably be a little suspicious on various counts, like was it a broken rubber that caused this or what…? I mean, a lot of people have exes, some who they felt very strongly about, but a kid makes it harder to cut all ties. And idk if I’d date someone who easily gave up custody, that seems pretty heartless. Age plays a factor too, whether I’m dating in my twenties or in my forties: were they ever married? For how long? Why didn’t it work out?
TL;DR I figure I could avoid it, especially when dating in my twenties. In my late thirties or beyond, I’d revisit the question.

my MC parents. I do not want her parents to be in the story at all but it is important to imply she has parents for plot purpose. the reason not in it is because she willingly leaves her own world to move to another and if you have family you love you won’t
- she had good parents and a good childhood but her parents died
- she has a good childhood but her parents were crazy regligios and she went against the religion and they will not talk to her at all
- same cult kind of parents but instead of a good child they where horrible parents and abusive
- they were just horrible parents and abusive but not regligios as at all
- other please suggest

Ah, yes, the ol’ “getting the parents out of the way” literary device, so often needed that it’s become a little cliche.
Put my answer in a drop-down for whoever keeps getting annoyed by my multi-paragraph posts
The easiest, cleanest way is having them die in something that isn’t their fault, like a car crash or a common disease. This way, the character’s mental/social development is pretty normal, all of their issues are ones related to a trauma that happened as an older child or teen. The overzealous religious parents, the parents in the cult, or the abusive parents would leave more deep-set bias or scars.
One that I’ve used a few times is just emotionally distant parents.
Kinda looks something like:
"My parents didn’t hate me, but ‘love’ wasn’t the right word either. Dad and Mom had gotten divorced when I was two. It pretty much went without saying that neither wanted me. Caring for me always seemed to be an afterthought. When they did spend time with me, it was mostly to teach me how to be self-sufficient. How to google the answers to my homework questions. How to use the microwave by myself. How to apply for a part-time job in high school. They put food in the fridge and kept the bills paid, but it more or less ended there.
Since I’d moved out to go to college, neither had called. So I hadn’t called them either.
^ But that also has somewhat of an effect on the character’s personality.
You could shake it up and have one loving parent who died, then the estranged, emotionally-distant parent got custody (basically the formula for Episode Bad Boys™, but I digress lmao). Or go all out and spend a small arc explaining how a previously kind and nurturing parent’s work-related back injury turned into an opioid prescription, which turned into an addiction and overdose. But that’s not as short as some of the others.
All would have some effect on the character’s personality, it might help to choose the method that best fits your character.
Good parents died: distrust/hatred of whatever caused the death, sad nostalgia
Religious: either residual beliefs left over from her childhood, or a contradictory attitude to everything the religion taught, and maybe a subconscious need to prove herself after a rejection that severe
Abusive: various issues including trouble getting close to others, overthinking/over-sensitivity, low self-esteem, PTSD, depression, etc…
Distant: Trouble connecting with others, forming bonds, and getting past just surface relationships
TL;DR My top pick would be some combination of both parents died, both parents are emotionally distant, or one of each. My second pick, I guess it’d be the religious one.

well its Clair’s personality I am working you read the story. what do you think fit best
but one of each is actually a pretty good idea

Aye, I wasn’t quite sure given the part of the story that I’d read. Overall kind and helpful, emotionally stable but not to the point of being cold, intelligent but sometimes caught up in the moment…
Yeah, the more I think about it, one of each might work; that way, the death can be a few years in the past so it’s still hurting but not fresh wounds, but she didn’t end up completely alone as a young teen, and still doesn’t really have any ties to Earth.
