"Young and Stupid"

Quote From: jeanniej70

I wish you ladies would watch the "Shows" before you judege the women on them, I am one of those women & I can firmly say that NONE of the women on this show are as one women on here put it "YOUNG & STUPID" all of these women have great careers, some great families. So watch before you judge!
I agree.  Some women just do not have the capability of meeting the perfect person.  But yet they are perfect.  They have the perfect family, the perfect career but not the perfect guy.  Some women play the "what if" game, with themselves.  What if they don't like the same things I do, what if he hates my family, what if my career is not strong enough for them, and finally what if I am to bull headed for him (like most women are).  You never judge a book by it's cover.  The women that are on Dr. Phil I say, "Go for it!" What do you have to lose.

01/09 Nasty Custody Battles

I am currently in a custody battle similar to almost every custody battle out there. Of course there different situations, however my main question is?  

  

 

WHY DO FATHER’S INSIST ON PUTTING THEIR CHILD THROUGH SUCH HEARTACHE JUST TO GET OUT OF CHILD SUPPORT? 

  

 

I have been going through my custody battle since June 2004.  Still unresolved why, because my ex insist if he gets more visiting time he will not need to submit any child support. Honestly, there is nothing intellectual he can provide for my innocent 3-year old daughter.  She is being torn between her father and me.  She continually is hearing negative comments about her mother and her doings.  Why because how low her father is and he does not want to financially support her.  I am now a single mother that sometimes regrets leaving him, but what if I didn’t would the relationship turned violent.  But now he always has more money then me and takes my daughter to place like Chucky Cheese.   And then she returns home saying “Daddy, said you will take me to Chucky Cheese,” will you mommy?  Then I am left with putting her down saying “Mommy doesn’t have any money right now.”  Well guess who is the bad guy, I am. All because most men (notice I said most men) only want visitation with their child due to child support.   The courts are putting us through this and he is currently over $4,000.00 behind in child support payments.   

  

 

My ex has done several things to me, he has made me lose several babysitters, and he will call them and threaten to kill.  It freaks my babysitters out so much they quit on me.   He continually follows me and my daughter, and he lies non stop on me accusing me of abusing my child. I don’t smack or even yell at my child.  She hardly even goes to time out.  He has called Children Services on me several times, which of course, I am a total neat freak my house is complete spotless. Always spells like fresh flowers and room deodorant. But yet we are in court fighting on why he needs more visitations.   

  

 

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

I am so tired of people generalizing that Dad's do not want to be in their kids' lives, and if they do try.. they get deemed to be doing it only to get out of paying child support.  You just don't hear about the good dad's that visit their kids regularly, take an active role in their lives, and pay their child support because nobody is complaining about those dads.  I think there are a lot of moms out there that keep their kids from visiting their dads more often so they can get as much child support as they possibly can.  I am a mom, and I hear moms at the park and gym openly talking about this, so I know it is true!!  I just sit there and listen to women giving each other advice on how to get more child support!  It's just sick and wrong, the same as any dad's trying to get out of paying it.  But if there are going to be complaints, then the whole story should be told!

Do you have weeks to understand my story.  Are you going through the same issue.  You may be one of the lucky mother's that father respect their child's mother and their children. But what about us women that don't have the same respect.   

  

For you to reply stating you are tired of hearing mother's complain about father's not wanting to be in their child lives, and they do try.  Well what is a father too you? Just someone that visit their children and negatively impacts the child mother to them.  If so I think you have you issue crossed.  

  

Father too me is everything a mother.  Someone that takes care of their child from all aspects including finances.  Caring, loving, and protecting.  Do you know my background? Do you know my child's father's background.  Honestly I didn't think you did. I asked for help not ignorance.  

  

Unless you are in a similar situation honestly, you have no room to comment. Yet this America and Freedom of Speech is required.  

  

I am tired of people accusing hard working mothers bending over backwards to make sure their child has everything they need, that they want more child support. Obviously you are as slow as my ex.  It is not the mother that configures Child Support it is the state and the earnings the fathers make.  NOT US. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT. IT IS NOT THE MOTHERS.  HELLO GET WITH SOCIETY.
