At least she was smart enough to get knocked up by a guy that can pay some money in child support. Too many of these women have kids by guys that have no earning potential at all.

She had to track him down through the courts and she waited until they took his checks. He ended up living with his parents again as he couldn't afford to live on his own as his money from working in natural gas was going to her.

I knew him pretty well and he didn't deserve that kind of pull from his wallet. He made good money in the natural gas field at about 1,000 a week possibly if the work was good. He still had to pay the 1,000 a month even if he was out of work for a period of time. So, he had to be frugal and smart with his money.

She wasn't rich and wasn't rolling in money, but she didn't have to do hardly anything to have what she had except raise her kids. We don't get along as you might understand . So she had 1,000 a month in child support; over 300 a month in food stamps; help with her energy bill also. Her work went to her rent which was about 500 a month. Medicaid took care of her and her children. She did quite nicely for awhile before Dusty did get laid off and didn't pay. She then met Mr. Right. Survival.

On the other hand I worked a full-time job out of high school making 10.50 an hour as a single male who paid for everything I had. I couldn't afford insurance and my employer offered a horrible, just horrible insurance plan since we had a horrible union. My food, rent, gas, utilities, etc... all with no help.

Tell me how that is fair?? Scratch that as I don't want fair, I want things to be right. The whole system is a joke.
