Dead Beat Parents a.k.a Egg & Sperm Donors.
As you may already know, I have a 7yr old Lil Man. Me & his dad broke up a month after I gave birth. It was my choice. His dad was & is a Pathological Liar. That was his only bad habit. But it was a Bad habit that I was Not going to deal with any longer. Anyway, My son's father was great when I was prego. We were living with his mom & his 2 nieces (his sister has a habit of having children & leaving them with her mom to raise, I believe she's at 5...at da time it was just da 2). Anyway, he worked 2 jobs & I worked up til I was 7months. He made sure I was comfortable, he made sure I was fed, gave me massages, esp. foot rubs. When I gave birth, & we brought lil man home, he would get up in the middle of the night to make bottles, change diapers, all that good stuff. I was grateful for that. After a month, I just couldn't take the unnecessary lies & was starting to feel claustrophobic in that house, I went to stay with my mom...I needed her guidance & knowledge, It was my 1st baby. My son's father would come & visit, sometimes take lil man with him & spend time with him. After a couple of years, the visits decreased...The next few years I would lecture to him the importance of spending time with his only child. But he was & still is verrrrrry stubborn. I came to the realization that he was hostile towards me not wanting to be with him that my child had to pay the price. He is Selfish!! I got tired of singing the same song. I tried talking to his mom, but she basically would tell me that she didn't want to get involved. I tried talking to his dad, who would seem like he was in shock but Obviously that didn't work. Even though my son hardly sees his dad, he still thinks the world of him. I never speak negative about his dad around him, I will let him come to his own conclusion when he's old enough to realize the truth. My son always asks why can't we be one big happy family & live together & I do my best to explain to him that I love his dad, & his dad loves him, but that doesn't mean we all have to live together. His dad has his priorities out of order, just recently he started texting asking about him, when I reply & tell him how he is, he goes straight to talking bout how he misses me & if I'm ready to get back together. I rather him give my son some quality time on a regular basis then receive his court-ordered, income deducted Child Support...I can't imagine to know what it is like to have a child that is living elsewhere & not do my best to spend time with them or atleast call them once a week to assure them that I care for them, I'm thinking of them, I miss them, & most of all "I Love them"!! And it's not just men who have abandoned/neglected their children... I have met Single dads, & that irks me so much. Me, as a Mother could not imagine abandoning my child. I have the upmost respect for all Single Moms & Single dads, doing it on their own. I have the upmost respect for Non-Custodial parents who are responsible & step up to the plate & take care of theirs. Not just financially, but mentally & physically. There is No excuse for the Non-Custodial parent who lives in the same state, city, & especially have no other kids with anyone else not to be there on all levels. My son's father is Not hurting me, he's hurting my son, but it hurts me when I see my son disappointed. So if your taking care of yours, Great...that's what you're suppose to do, keep doing it. If your not, & your being a selfish jerk, then shame on you...When your kid(s) grow up to resent, it's your own fault. Karma's a B!+@# !!
