As you may have read in my previous posts I have 2 little girls, no husband, and no job. That means I’m a struggling stay at home mom who tries to make it off of the child support I receive. It isn’t much. In fact, it doesn’t even come close to being enough to raise a healthy, well-fed, suitably clothed child. Lily’s father, who owns a thriving pest control business in California, got away with paying next to nothing (a couple hundred a month). That was okay when she was a breast fed infant but now that she’s a fast growing, high energy five year old, it’s not nearly enough to cover her expenses. Jasmine’s father has never paid anything. Both fathers have moved on with their lives and gotten live-in girlfriends, etc. And that’s fine with me. I have no problem with that. But please have some concern and regard for the offspring you so callously left behind!
I was talking to a friend from church yesterday. She is also a single mother of 2 girls, not married, and works from home on a contract basis. We were discussing the unfairness of a society that allows men to marry, father children and then move on without adequately providing for those they leave behind. Why is it ok for the men who were the breadwinners to move on and live in expensive houses, drive expensive cars, buy expensive toys, and indulge in expensive hobbies while their children do without? Why are these men able to just turn their backs on these beautiful children that they so willingly and eagerly helped to create?

These aren’t real men. They’re just large, immature little boys. Real men accept the responsibility of providing for and nurturing the innocents they help create!
