To some that's not enough. Well he makes $7 an hour. How is supposed to live? In order for a parent to support a child they need to work which means they need a place to live and they have to eat and clothe themselves have a vehicle. That's shit isn't free. It's amazing if kids are livng poor and mom doesn't work and get welfare and ffodstamps it's somehow DADs fault. It's 2006 mom can get a job.
Don't see me at the welfare office. I also have private health insurance for my kid thru Blue Cross which I pay $96 a month for and I get $166.66 taken out of my checking account every month to go into my son's education IRA. I get that ammount taken out because it's the max you can put into an education IRA( $2000 a year ). Not all of us dad deadbeats and I hate the insinuation.

and I get pissed that all guys tend to group the women who work in adult as whores and sluts.. but hey we cant have it all our way can we.
Been there done that.. when I met my hubby, he was making $6 an hour, had to pay $400 A month for one child. He sometimes didnt have electricity, he sometimes didnt eat...he didnt have a phone, and didnt have money to even enjoy his child when she could be with him..He was over $12,000 in back support cause the old "you cant see your kid but you still have to pay" game was being played. the mom on the other hand enjoyed trips to europe w/ kids, got a big inheritance 6 years ago, went on cruises and scuba trips.. BTW she was getting child support from two guys..till she trapped guy number two into marriage.. it was much cheaper for him to keep her in the house and know where his son was at than to deal with her antics.
I let him claim me and our kids together for his taxes for a few years because it was helping knock out his back child support. The bitch had the balls to call up and ask what she would be getting one year so she could plan her vacation and we would be taking care of the daughter ..talk about a kick in the teeth..
I now have a daughter that looks at her dad as a loser because he wont pay for her Tuiton and spending money while she is partying in college..yet this man put aside many a vacation with me and our family together to do for this child.. he always paid child support when she lived with us every summer..he always paid for the plane tickets to visit us..he over paid $2200 when all was said and done.. and he still got shit on in the long run.
I never asked for support from the father of my now 16 year old, needless to say he died when the boy was 8..but I never recieved a fucking dime from him and didnt want to..I was proud to have done it on my own.
Not everyone on here thinks all guys are dead beat dads.. every situation is different... I think what Eros was meaning to imply dead beat parents of both sexes SUCK!
