Well, I'll be the Devil's Advocate of the thread as it seems most people are dogging the fact of having kids and the cost of them.
I wouldnt live one more day of my life if I didnt have my son. Even though laws are pretty crazy, trust me given my situation right now I garauntee I'm worse off than most, we have to remember that are children didnt make themselves. We made them and we need to be responsible for them regardless of the situation. Unfortunately there are scumbags out there that dont care for their children or care to help raise them financially. Thats the reason our laws are so strict and the guys like myself who love their kids and things just didnt work out are the ones that have to face the laws harshly. I know of 2 single moms that have dads that dont pay a dime even though they are court ordered. Thats BS.
Our children are a blessing. It was our decision to bring them into our lives. Even though laws can be a little rediculous, every one of us took the risk of being in a bad situation when we slept with the moms. Get rid of all the scumbag worthless dads and maybe things wouldnt be so bad. But, thats just the world we live in today, nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions so the government steps in, then things get even more screwed up.
