Don't Breed 'Em If You Can't Feed 'EM

I have read many of these bitter, angry rants from both custodial, non-custodial parents and resentful second families.

Every single one of YOU, put yourselves in the situation YOU are in. The AG's Office can't manage YOUR life for YOU. It's not their fault YOU made the choice to have a baby/babies with a loser or deadbeat. It's not their fault YOU didn't get an education, or that YOU have a crappy job or some lame excuse why YOU can't take care of the child or children YOU brought into the world. It's not their fault YOU chose to marry some loser man/woman with a string of failed marriages and other kids.

What YOU need to be teaching YOUR children, is that the reality is 50% of first marriages fail,70% of second marriages fail, and even more third marriages fail. There is a damn good chance one day YOU will be divorced and on YOUR own with a child. If YOU can't afford to raise a child completely on YOUR own don't have one, because it's a pretty safe bet the person that helped YOU make the baby isn't going to be around in the long run. YOU also need to teach YOUR children to get an education so they can support themselves.

Kids are expensive. They need housing, clothing, food, daycare, medical care, Christmas presents, birthday parties, school supplies, etc. I have paid out over $53,000.00 in daycare in the last six years and $15,000.00 for medical insurance/expenses. I have ONE child because I can't afford any more!!!

Children don't ask to be brought into the world. We bring them here and have a responsibility to provide them with a loving, financially stable home. If YOU are not willing and/or capable of doing that then YOU need to use birth control or get a vasectomy.
