I really do!

There is absolutely nothing worse than a deadbeat dad.

I know that things happen. I doubt that most women (or men) plan to have a baby together under less than ideal circumstances. But it bugs me like no other when ‘things’ do happen and suddenly, dudes just don’t want to work. They don’t want to do their part.

I can’t speak for men who are the sole providers of their children b/c even though I DO know that it exists, I don’t know anyone personally who does this.

Able bodied men (and women) should be able to take care of their children, PERIOD! I get tired of reading that someone is a single parent. I get tired of my friends or associates having to work two and three jobs to make ends meet and to be able to afford to take care of daycare.

I remember a very specific situation with someone. She found out that she was pregnant. He knew. Long story condensed, he basically told one of their mutual friends that he was going to ‘clear’ his social and make it seem like he didn’t work so he wouldn’t have to pay child support. Mind you, this dude owned two businesses. But because he didn’t want to have a baby at that moment, he decided that he’d drop off the face of the earth and not pay any support by ‘hiding’ his social. Don’t ask me how he was going to do that but just the thought of someone going to such lengths to keep from handling their responsibility sickens me.

Bottom line…if you don’t want to have to take care of a child, just don’t have sex. I can’t even say wrap it up b/c hey…how many of YOU have kids right now as the result of a busted condom? Just leave the horizontal forbidden dance for the one you plan on marrying.
