child support rant

This blog has typically been a place where I post happy events that goes on in our lives but today I just have to vent. Normally I don't let the fact that I don't get child support for my two kids bother me but today I'm really pissed off. I had children with a complete moron and I am still paying for it. I got my first child support check in several years last month so I've been holding my breath waiting for another one. I don't really count on the money but with a teenage driver, any little bit will help. Their father called today and talked to my daughter for a long time, actually she did most of the talking. My son doesn't want to talk to his father so I got on the phone with him to get some info that child support was trying to get from him. All I'm asking for is a simple work address, phone number, etc. It's not like I'm asking for a freaking bank account number! Giving this info to child support doesn't do anything anyway, if he's not working I don't get any money. So what does he do?? He gives me a bogus phone number for his work!!! He can't even man up enough to give me a real number for his work. I can't believe my kids share his same genes. It's completely embarrassing that he's their father. The last time I checked, his balance was over $60,000. My kids won't see a fraction of this money. Money that could help them get a car, pay car insurance, go to college, etc. I don't understand how a person can just walk away from their responsibilities to their kids. He hasn't even seen them in over 2 years and has no plans to see them any time soon. Thank god they have their step-dad to fill in where their dad doesn't. Thanks babe for being there. And yes Mother, I should have listened to you! ;)
