Ask yourself

For those of you who want to go back and forth about who's really getting screwed in this situation, here's a way to simplify it. Would you rather get your kid full time and get paid for it? Or would you rather have to pay someone $1500 a month and in return get to see your kid whenever the other parent feels like it? I don't know about you but I'd rather get to spend as much time as possible with my child and have someone else pay me for it. Does this sound extreme to you as a mother? Well this is the reality for a lot of fathers who work so hard to pay for a child they don't even get to have a relationship with. Newsflash: Seeing a child every other weekend comes down to four days a month.

Do you think that is enough time to bond with a child? I guarantee during those four days a month the poor child will be crying for it's mother the entire time and it is heartbreaking. Want to know why there are there so many deadbeat dads? Simple, because the loving responsible dads get treated like SD's, getting no rights to their child by default but being on the hook for life for a huge chunk of the financial responsibility. Do any of you mothers really think it is fair that when a child is born out of wedlock, the mother automatically gets full custody of the child? Unless she wants to give the father more than that and of COURSE she doesn't!

Look having kids is hard work emotionally and financially and it should be shared by both parents. But why is it that really only one parent gets the benefit of having a strong relationship with the child? How is that fair? Someone please tell me.
