AS I SEE IT...

Thougts On "Court Ordered Child Support"

The Entry Title I wanted to enter wouldn't fit:

"Whimps Who Whine About Paying Court Ordered Child Support - Like Somebody Should Feel Sorry For Them - Gimme A Break"

I really don't understand why "Court Order Child Suppport" is even called "Child Support"... or what the "support" scales are based upon... certainly NOT reality?

First, my children are all grown now, so I no longer get child support payments, and when my ex-husband was court ordered to pay them he didn't... and when I read blogs on here whinning about child support... it just makes me sick... because of my own daughter's situation with the measley child support she collects from her ex-husband...

The measley payments DO NOT truely support a child... sure the payments help... but truely support... NO!!!

And in the life of a child in today's economy, my heart goes out to any parent trying to raise a child alone... with their income and child support payments from a whinny x-spouse!

When my EX did not want to make Child Support payments, while it broke my heart... I said fine, and then you raise our four children, and keep all your money... and I'll pay you what the Court Ordered you to pay me... the next day he dropped our four children back off on my front door steps... You see, it is not really about the money... most of the time with these guys...

They can't be bothered with the laundry...
Meals...
Homework...
Dishes...
Doctor appointments...
Entertainment...

The everyday, all day total dedication of being a full time parent... and still they consider themselves a "CATCH"... go figure...

No, all ex-spouses have to be court-ordered to pay child support... some do it, and arrange to have pay child support, because as a responsible parent, they know it is their obligation that they hold near and dear... it is about their "CHILD" .... not about their MONEY... These type of men are rare... and are the real "CATCH".

Women today, are bread winners, too, and some pay child support. Rare, but it happens. Either way, it takes more than just money to raise a happy and healthy child, but it still takes money... God pity the child that has a parent that whines about paying child support - better that parent be dead, IMHO... Social Security Survivor Benefits pays more... since "that parent" thinks it's all about just money.

We don't hear the term "latch key kids" much anymore, but with summer upon us, school is out, day care expensive, child support payments don't increase during summer months to cover the added cost of Summer Fun ... I worry about the children of a Child Support Paying Whinny Parent... any chance he or she will contribute any extra... not just money... maybe some extra time with their child...

Fat chance... it's not Court Ordered!!!
