Reason #965,281 to not bother with single moms...

Post Reply New Topic

You mean...this man, after he ceases acting as the two boy's parent,
is required to give their mom the $400 a month in benefits he receives from Veteran Affairs because they're LISTED AS HIS DEPENDENTS???


How utterly horrible.

This.

I can't begin to tell you the amount of times I gave single moms the advice to be careful what they wish for when they begin pursuing custody and support orders.

This is why some of the guys here really want a Mens forum. So they can stay in their protected little privileged bubble and pretend these are all evil women committing grave injustices against men. Poor men.

Perhaps he didn't think through the implications of his actions. But yes, that's still a bit stupid.

Agreed. If I wanted to make a case about how unfair the child support system can be, this would not be my example. The court decision is totally justified.

Wrong.

You're not omnipotent.

but they are adopted by him:

Yes, I am not , but this not the purpose of the men's forum, I was very clear in my call for it. Anyways, this is an off-topic, discuss it elsewhere.

and what are the other #965,280 reasons, Ricky? Can you tell us about them one by one?

Quit trying to boss me around. It's not your purpose of the men's forum but that's all you can say. Complete your world domination plan and then maybe you can boss me around, okay?

"Bossing you around" ? Bossing around means "hey , you , send this by fax , do it now!!" , "you have 1 minute to do this!! Move your ass!!".

You're way oversensitive lately , I'd suggest a kit kat.

When you tell people where, what and when to post, that's being bossy. Own it. I suspect you're operating under the misapprehension that these exchanges mean something more to me than a time-killer.

Ok, fine, it's not like I am pointing a gun at you and force you when or where to post, I was just saying this is an off-topic and we have to discuss this elsewhere.

But fine...you're free....we are all born free, no?

What do you want to discuss here in this thread? The men's forum? Kit kat? Favorite chocolate? Zorg games? You can choose any subject!

You know, instead being a raging misogynist and of acting like women are parasites, let's look at this another way: there are two boys involved here. This guy acted like their father in a number of ways. He willingly got involved with their life. He even got benefits from the government by listing them as dependents. In return, I'm sure the mother provided a lot for this guy--like sex, laundry, meals, someone he could call on when he needed any thing, like if he was sick or his car broke down, financial support via a second income, etc. etc. The usual stuff that comes from being in a relationship.

So you're saying a man can insert himself into the lives of two young boys, acting as their father, and reap all the benefits of being in a relationship with their mother, and then he can just walk away?

Who's the parasite in that equation? Why is it that a man has NO accountability in such a situation? Why is the woman the villain for making the man accountable? Do you have any grasp of what relationships are about? They are not things you just turn on and off. You're impacting another person's life, and when you are not accountable for yourself in that relationship, you can really hurt people--not just that person you're involved in, but whoever else is close to them and could be affected by the pain you caused your ex and any damage your departure brought to your ex's life.

You don't want to be accountable to other people? Fine. Then don't date. Anyone. Period. Ever. Not just single mothers--anyone. No one should have to deal with you. No one should be have to be burdened with the regret of wasting their time on you. No one deserves to put up with such selfish a-holery.
