ktho blog

I'm going to blog about something that I am sure will get alot of reaction, but I guess that is what blogs are really about. We talked very briefly the other day about child support, and this is something I feel very strong about. In today's society there are alot of young females getting pregnant for the wrong reasons, thinking that their "man" will stay with them once they have a family. This isnt always the case. So then we have alot of young females living in poverty off food stamps, still not demanding child support because they are afriad that if they make their "baby daddy" pay child support he wont come home to them at night. We as women need to be stronger than that. I think there needs to be more strict laws regarding the other parent to pay child support not matter how much or what. It takes two to tango, we all know that. I have a really good friend whose co-worker is in this situation, she got pregant at 17 so that the "baby daddy" will want to be with her, but he has two other females with kids!!!!! It just makes me crazy seeing this happen to young girls. We deserve better than that, and those men shouldn't get off that easy........ agree or disagree???

p.s. I wasn't putting all men into that category....

I agree 100% with that. No girl should have to be stuck paying for all of the child support. It wasn't just her in the situtation even if it was planned. I know the type of guys out there that you are talking about and there should be an end put to this. None of that is fair and should not just be dumped on the female to handle by herself. I think we should have better laws made and they should all be reinforced better with who has to pay what for the child. Something more needs to be done than what is done right now, its just not right how things are going. Every woman deserves better than that and they need to learn that about themselves too. They also need to stand up for what they think is right and what needs to be done.
