I wonder if Layla ever actually knew her three sons. Or if they knew her


Okay, yes, she gave birth to them. Technically, she was in their lives, but not for very long, though. I know that the triplets were probably about one or two when they were in the kiddie pool in the BBQ scene. She continued her affair with Shonte the limo driver and then ran away with him.

I know Charlie raised them on his own and in the end, he loved them with all of his heart. They loved him the same way as well.

I wish that there was an alternate ending to Charlie and Layla crossing paths one more time. Usually some stories have a father walking on out on a child but it was the mother in this case.

I know that this movie is a comedy, but man, there should have been some closure with Charlie and Layla, as well as the triplets finding out about their true parentage.

All I need is one mic...

When she left, they were around 5-10.

yeh I thought she would keep in touch considering she is with their biological father! two Mensa members must have taken some responsibility !!

surly the fact one of the kids is named junior after his bio dad should have raised a few flags??

Personally what Layla did was low beyond compare.
And I do not discriminate against Dwarves but Shonte was a little $#!T and as cruel as this sounds they should have gotten their comeuppance with Layla getting trashed by Irene and the boys literally using their father as a football!
