My ex and the father of my oldest thinks his $279 a month in child support is an extreme amount. He's never bought his daughter a birthday or Christmas present and thinks he's entitled to claim her on his taxes. He's never paid for any type of insurance for her or even a co-payment. Yeah he's a piece of work.
My husband however (her adoptive father and the father of my second) always puts the kids first and buys things for himself second. He can't even walk into a store with them without getting them each a toy. Even if he was only supposed to get milk.
I honestly think it depends on the man and their maturity level.
Ohk just wondering cus my ex is so selfish. Hes always complaining he has no money but he always seems to have money for himself. His parents help me out more then he does which im thankful for..@yummymom i tried that but in his lil head he thinks he does.he got a 3000 check for finicial aid frm school and he only bought christmas presents for the kids and the family and the rest spent he on himself..im like hello did yu buy shoes for daughter for school instead of spending it on yurself..ughh selfish a**
My child's father is very selfish...so selfish that he left me, my daughter and his unborn 3 days after we found out that we were pregnant and two weeks before Christmas. He claimed that he was tired of seeing me cry...wow! Talk about selfish, self-centered and plain stupid. Men got it to easy...they can just walk away and do for them whenever they want to. Women have to be superwoman and the backbone....you are not alone!
Mines has yet acknowledged that we are having a baby hasn't called our visit since I told him. I know I'm going to be doing this on my own now.
I don't know a man that isn't selfish!
Mine did with our first child i would spend all my money on our son. once he even lent me money to buy our son a jumperroo. Then i got pi**ed and cussed him about and he changed. Maybe a little chat would help
Good luck :)
