There are sorry mothers and fathers as I stated. I still call the fathers sorry who have turned their backs on their kids, make every excuse in the book as to why they cannot pay their child supoort, and those who take care of anothers woman child or children, yet refuse to take care of their own. I'm not male bashing at all, only referred to the the fathers who are not being fathers.; ▶ Reply to This

I agree with Tanya that women use the system incorrectly. When you and the father has broken up for whatever reason, then the personal feeling should be pushed aside to handle business for that child. Sometimes women/men have to put the father/mother on child support for stability. It doesn't mean that you are trying to get back at them because they don't want to be with you anymore. This subject is broad Chris and you will never find the answer to your question....; ▶ Reply to This

I know some of us weren't as responsible than as we are now but, the birth of a child can make a strong person step to the plate......; ▶ Reply to This

But ladies, let me speak to you for a second. You knew he had 3 or 4 kids before you met him. You knew he didn't have a job and was broke as a joke. Despite knowing of these things, you still chose to have a baby with him. Then you get mad at him when he does not take care of his responsibility. WHY GET MAD? You knew he wasn't about anything when you were getting down with him.

Let me say this one last thing, men and women need to support their children. Our future depends on it.; ▶ Reply to This
