Need to vent about dead beat parents
My nieces dad refuses to send any money to support his kids. Her mother my step sister works full time but is still struggling to survive. Well last night my niece was telling me she's down to one bra and her mom can't afford to get her any so she was trying to stitch up some of her old ones. Well today I took my niece out and got her a bunch. What is it about some people he feel he can father children walk out and take no responsibility for them.
Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute here.
Aren't the primitives the same people who used to
love, adulate, praise, the now-late freeloading bum the wily primitive, Wiley50?
The primitive who fathered lots and lots of children, all by different women, and who later resorted to working for cash under the table, so as to avoid having to pay child support?
The primitives
loved their pal Wiley50.
And so what's up with this?

1. Don't know
Took me 6 years, two detectives and a night in jail for him to cough up the funds. Haven't seen nor heard from him since...nor have the daughters.
I believed the BS he spun about his dreams of fatherhood and all, when we were young (21). Guess reality didn't match up to his dreams, so he decided he could walk. Wonder if there'd been a boy, or if one girl wasn't permanently disabled, would it have been different?
I blame California, in part. The culture there is profoundly anti-family, esp. in Silicon Valley, where the Libertarians run wild and the drug culture still lives.

2. you're a good person
I had an uncle who refused to pay child support following a divorce - it infuriated my dad (his brother), who pretty much took over the role
all I can think of is these people hate their ex more than they love their children

3. I think what bothers me more is he started a new family with a new wife and basically ignores the children he had with my step sister.

6. I wonder if that new wife knows
I cannot imagine having kids with a guy you know fails to support kids he already has

5. I will definitely say this after that shopping adventure I've never been happier I don't need
Bras they are expensive. Mind you if my eating crazy foods continues my need for a bra may increase
