That's the value put on a lot of children today: how much money each per month the lazy mother can get for them. That is what these children hear from month to month: whether or not the father paid the designated amount, whether or not the mean government gave more money or benefits for them through the welfare check. And we wonder about the emptiness of our children's souls, when their mothers' have already put dollar values on them. God bless the children.
How sad for you. That you equate a Father's duty to his child as somehow reflecting a LAZY Mother. Working full time, raising children ALONE, and trying to help them grow into productive adults is sure LAZY. But the LAZY Father can't even share a little of his income to help. I guess getting state supported shild care for working Mothers is a better way to care for your child, huh. That's it, teach them that the STATE takes place of the Father. Like it or not, when the Father was in the home, the child felt secure in the support provided by his income. How do you answer your child when he says daddy I need school clothes, if you would pay MY child support I could get them?
Your answer is tell your LAZY Mother to get them.
