Is there something in the water?

Last night a daughter of a neighbor asked me for some advise concerning household appliances. I told her what I knew and gave her some hints on how to solve her problem. She then broke down into tears and sobbed how her ex has been an ass and spreading lies about her. There is more to the story with children and all but I hugged her for support and then the wife took her in for some "woman" talk and a glass of wine.
Saturday was much the same as an old friend related a story of how her ex was trying to poison her relationships by spreading lies and rumors. Once again a big shot trying to make himself look good.

In both case I know the guys don't work, don't pay child support or even spend much time with their children. In the case of the first one he just shows up at ball games to brag how well is son plays. The second guy is always posting pictures of himself on FB saying what a hard workout he did or how healthy he's eating. All about him.

Anyway, I know there are some on here that have or are going through the same crap. You're not alone and remember there is support out there. I hope you can find it.

@Greenbare dont get me wrong, I firmly believe in the man having to support his children but I just think there's better ways of going about it instead of sending money to a chick to get her nails and hair done every month while she buys the minimal for the child. I pay over 750$ a month in child support and I'm pretty goddamn sure my sons get less than a 1/4th of it or spent on them smh

Just so there is no misunderstanding on this post. In the case of the first woman, her husband refuses to work in order not to have to support the children in any way. If you can go to sporting events and brag about how well your son is doing then you better well support that child or get out of his life entirely. As my father told me when I was young, if you don't want the responsibility keep it in your pants!

As for the second woman, there are no children involved but he has done a lot of harm by not paying bills and doing damage to her credit. She has had to come up with the money to cover his car payment because she cosigned while they were still married. He has money for gym memberships an such but not his bills?

Sorry, I just have to rant. I was raised with a sense of responsibility and a work ethic. Old school? Maybe.

I think these people made a mistake by having children
