Of course it's a slam. This female poster is trying to evoke some sort of male guilt regarding supporting one's offspring, then cleverly saying "it's not a slam" to defuse objections. Very, very clever.

The question is irrelevant. No matter what the figure is, the point is the mother of the kid is morally responsible for 50% of the cost of supporting that child. Your buried assumption that the father should be wholly responsible is sexist nonsense more suitable for a meeting of the cows of NOW.

Oh please,
It was a sincere question and just a “well I wonder” kind of remark.

the “Now” remark is silly and needlessly rude and bitter.

Get over yourself before have to pay alimony to the picture in your attic.

You should know better than to hold someone responsible for what they say. Even on FreeRepublic.com

Nice try though.

Now I don’t agree that I should provide 50% of the financial support. I make way less and yet I provide 100% of the parenting. Ex goes to church about once, MAYBE twice a month and sits with him and then drives him home and that’s the extent of his “parenting”. I have every decision, every care, every thing. Why shouldn’t he pay more of the support?
