Hell I'd do it temporarily for the right opportunity, but they would have to pay me enough to get back home. Lol
Yeah, it is stressful and exhausting, but it's so worth it. Who's important to you will always be top priority even as tough as it gets sometimes. There were times my son acted out and made it tougher, but someone he looked up to saved me the trouble of making that point myself. He told him to stop giving me hell and be thankful I was there to take care of him and doing what his daddy wasn't. His hearing that did us both some good. My son's dad had three more, but he's actually been somewhat present in their lives.
Sounds like my mom's father I was a victim of those grand parent beatings/teachings but my grandfather was someone I looked up to. He helped guide me socially and academically. I lived in the projects, so he would take me out to fancy places and stuff for balance. I never got out of hand with him and the beatings were because my mom snitched on me. You get smacked by mom then you get smacked again by her parents, lol
All of the smacking reminds me of my family. lol I'm glad you were blessed with him to look up to, take you places, and give you some positive influence. That kind of teaching and support makes a huge difference in kids' lives. Once my parents got over their issues with my son not being a white baby (which thankfully didn't take long after he was born), they were a good source of love and moral support. The friend of the family I mentioned who had the talk with my son was someone I met at church. He's very down-to-earth, funny, and great with kids. He treated my son like he did his own kids. We don't get to see him often, but my son still looks forward to his visits. My son tells me he thinks I've worked enough and wants to make enough money take care of me. As sweet and touching as that is, I don't want him to feel like he needs to take care of me (at least until I'm old enough to need it, lol), but it is nice to know that he appreciates how hard I've worked to take care of him, and I appreciate that. I just want him to have a happy life and to be a good dad when that time comes (hopefully not anytime soon though).
Seeing your mom go through it makes us protective like that. You'd have to be a cold bastard to not want to give back to your single parent.
That's exactly what I do. I love my mom to death!! A "Mama's boy" I am (respectfully, not the man who can't do shit for himself). Big ups to your son for feeling that way!!
God bless those of you who aren't cold bastards, and God bless the respectful Mama's boys too! :freehug: Yeah, I was on my phone when I saw the post, but it was gone when I got on the laptop to reply. I won't comment either since you deleted the post...I do have this for you though: Don't be hasty now. That delete post button comes in handy sometimes.
Family court is more than a hustle , down right gangsters , pimp slap you make you like it and be glad for whatever they do for you , which is almost nothing,, try going there for help and treat you like shit my 16 yr experience with it was awful,, but 2 weeks from today they draw one last time out of my account
Funny,, paying was never the problem, being turned into and only that was best for kids is only talk esp the custodial parent in the system state of Tennessee gets one more click on my account
Sorry Stizzles and Twinsie. Belted out a little frustration with my current situation and then decided that it was too negative and I had to let it go. Loving the cuddle, Tams xx
Well I guess it's really none of my business cuz I don't know u or ur baby mama But...drama does happen, especially if the custodial parent won't let you see your kids, bitch, etc, but still has a court-issued right to your money I'd still help out my kids financially tho even after they turned 18
The beauty of them being 18 would be that you could help them directly instead of funneling it through mom where its used at her discretion. As long as my kids are doing right and working towards something, I'll help them financially without a doubt, regardless of age (sort of lol).
No one misuses money given to them by the courts or government Seriously tho..THAT would suck but you always hear stories about people on welfare buying god knows what, while their kids walk around hungry P.s. Have I told u how awesome and cute you are today
I wish someone would go find my baby's father and give him an extreme ass-kicking. He has never even met her and only once sent us $40. Now he says she isn't is - why? Because he is a horrible person. He has already been in jail twice for nonsupport of his children by marriage. He is a trucker now and makes decent money (I suspect) - I WILL go after him and he WILL pay, and he will NEVER be alone with my daughter ever. Hopefully he won't bother coming around at all, so he doesn't break her heart someday. But he WILL pay, or he will be back in jail - this time for longer than three months (I hope). Any man who doesn't provide for his children or at least try to, is not worth the air he breathes and might as well be dead for all I am concerned.
I'm in year 16 of this sounds like you are just starting out, not going to lecture you accuse you but peep this please and for your kid take this for what it's worth, Whatever ended your relationship with your kids father and what's happened since shouldn't determine anything going forward,, unless he abused you or the kid ,, you sound mad and may have every right to be, he could very well be a worthless piece of shit and I'm wasting my time, but if you guys just soured then let that man be a father,, child support isn't the only requirement for being a non custodial parent and as long as you make that the purpose your frustrations will only continue and get worse,, if he isn't paying or paying the correct amount becomes his whole purpose,, put him being a father which means spending time with his child and around his family the priority Bury whatever he did to fuck up what tall had behind you forgive him for it, find you a better man for you, you continue to evolve and work to provide a better life for your kid, behave and act like that toward him should only light a fire under his ass to keep his shit together if it's a lost cause you lose any bitterness and anger and that will allow your kid to form any opinion of him theirs and not yours ,, I really hope that makes sense,, that kid will be a teenager sooner than you realize and will understand it all then,, this hits home to me because my ex was never able to bury the hatchet and made it her life mission to forever harm any relationship I could have with our children,, most men after the breakup wants a relationship with their kids and most will provide if we allow them to be fathers,, the balance shifted way to far in the moms direction because of motherfucking rolling stone dudes back in the day cutting out once the relationship with mom ended,, it doesn't and shouldn't be that way
