My kids are with me 25 days a month. They're with him 5 - when he decides to pick them up. Yeah, I think he owes money for raising these kids *most* of the time.

This poor person is taking the money from the IRS and paying an extra payment on my car and house. It won't stick around, buy neither will it pay for random shit.

Gotta love the people who are in poverty, so they claim then go out and blow all their tax money on electronics and useless shit. Don't ask me to help you with rent or food again, friend! U can pawn that 55" TV for it this time.

I hate the idea of "child support". UNLESS the dad is a deadbeat- then yes, he should pay child support. But if you have joint/shared custody and he's a good father to your children, why do you feel that you are owed money? You chose to have children with him and you chose to divorce him... why should you get paid for that?

I want to do a life swap - just to see what could have been. I'm married, live in Europe, travel a lot, have enough money, and live a pretty cosmopolitan life. But I do wonder - what if I had kids? Lived where I grew up? Didn't go to college? Would I still like my life?

i have a savings for each of my 3 kids, they don't know that. though i could, there is no way in hell that i am paying for their college right away. if they want to go then they can work hard to earn the money that gets them through it. call me a bitch all you want but i think they will be more mature, more sure of what they want to do and take college more seriously if they are the ones who got themselves there. once they graduate then they will receive the money.

When I'm finding myself getting upset or annoyed with DH and DD2 I take a step back and realize how lucky we are even if we don't have a lot of money we have our limbs our sight our hearing our mental capacity each other the list could go on and on. I know a lot of you will omg me or roll your eyes but it makes me feel better when I'm down.

DH got laid off and our baby got sick (okay now) With medical bills & everything we used all our savings & were just barely able to stay out of debt, but we ended up 3 months behind on rent. Today instead of the expected eviction notice the landlord gave us a receipt not only for back rent but also for advance payments to November of this year. We said it was a mistake but he said a money order with our name on it was left in his office. We have no idea who brought us this MIRACLE. We hung a sign with the words thank-you in our window but we don’t even have the words to express our gratitude.

My boyfriend said he was bullied in school also. He said one time, one of the bullies that would steal his lunch money came into the bathroom and used the urinal next to him and as my bf was just finishing up going pee, he gave the bully the last of the pee and ran out. He said, what was he going to do? run after him with his pants open and his d*ck hanging out! I laughed SO hard! I'm sure this kid deserved to be peed on.

When I was little we did not have enough food and because of this what food we did have was severly restricted. I remember being SO hungry. I have planty of money to buy my kids food. BUT I let my kids waste. If they get a snack and decide they HATE it and want something different I let them. I never want them to be hungry...
