no, you don't get no reward as a mother. That's what you are supposed to do. Child support is what it is called child support, not mother support. That's the problem some women got it twisted
My babydad sends me 500$ or 400$ here and their and it literally goes all on them I do my own hair nails makeup I never touch my kids money if it was sent for them I use it on them no questions asked
Child support is for the kids. PERIOD. Youβre not a babysitter, youβre a parent.
I agree with the mom. She didnt say it very elequently, however, she is only responsible to be doing all of those things half the time. The other half of the time it's dad's job. So mom deserves a break. Her point is is that she is having to do a ton more work on Dad's time so she should be paid for that. On her time, yes it's her responsibility to do those things and she should be happy to do those things we can for her children however, if she's having to do a ton of extra work because dad's not watching them as often as you should then she is not supposed to be considered a childcare worker for Dad because she had to pay somebody to wash them. She would have to pay them. But she's doing it herself so she's paying herself. Makes sense to me.
No!! That money is not for your materialistic wants, itβs for the kids and the needs. She is WRONG.
I'm a mother and I must say life choices all have repercussions..... u bare the child that's just what it is help or not we always gon have to be the main provider that's why u don't have kids if u ain't ready to be the sole provider .....that's why I got 1 and stopped there lol n I ain't never received no child support either smh ππ€¦πΏββοΈπ€·πΏββοΈπ€£πͺπΏππΏππΏ
a reward??? for doing your duty as a mother is ridiculous.!
na your taking them to school because you either one the custody in court or you cheated on your man and said it was his
Who let him hit it rawWho laid down Go get them kids
You want a reward for doing the bare minimum? What?
and who's fault is it that you have the kid youra
the reward for raising your kids is the reward
and yall want men to have kids
she got a point
Honestly, to understand her, you really have to step out of your own gender role. If a father wakes up and decides he doesn't want to be a part of the family anymore, he can leave, np. Mothers have to pick up the pieces and keep life as it was when the father was in the home. Child support isn't always enough so many times, mothers are doing more than what the court ordered to make ends meet and STILL have to take care of themselves. Some do abuse it, but others do deserve "the reward"...smh
She needs a reward for taking care her of her own children that she decided to have with a man she obviously couldn't get along with.. so why do women like this feel entitled to a reward for taking care of her own kids?
This is the problem with people today. Thinking you get a reward for being a responsible adult.
We can look at her and tell sheβs eating Β£200. Because she weighs more.
The kid is the reward
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HER
I hope her BM takes this to court and gets his child support reduced. Sounds like she only needs 800 months for child support.
it's not a reward. It's a reimbursement.
He didnβt hear one word that was said.
I'm sorry I'm a woman and I can't agree with that if that money is supposed to be spent on the child all $1,000 of it goes to the child you don't get a reward for being a mother except for once a year and that's on Mother's Day and you got to wait a few years before your child is old enough to get you a Mother's Day present cuz he doesn't owe you one
and that is the exact thought process of a woman who feels the need to get revenge for something. She will also poison the mind of the child against the father.
selfish. use your own money
That's why these women get pregnant. So someone else can pay for their lifestyle.
an he as a father should get a reward too...Ur nails n hair done isn't a priority and not for the child benefit..child support is to support UPKEEP of child...Not babymama
You donβt get an award for doing something youβre obligated to do.
no not get an award but with everything she does she deserves to be treated every now and then
she deserves a reward for taking care of her OWN kids??π€
wtf ..this is a global epidemic damn
Honey you really got it twisted that baby didnβt ask you to get here you did that on your own. The price YOU pay. Your decision own it. You created the scenario.
if she wants money for her nails she should get a job and pay for her own nails the dad shouldn't pay her to do a job she is supposed to do. he has to pay financially she has to pay with the physical labor part. money for the child should never be spent on a parent PERIOD!
Thereβs always two sides to every argument. Thatβs all I can agree on. Thereβs no right or wrong way to provide for your kids. Unless youβre not providing at all.
I hate hearing woman talk like that... like being a mother bothers them ... bro that's your legacy your baby... your reward should be seeing them flourish β¨οΈ
Joint custody changes all of this trust me man if you got your own place and you pay your own bills already just get joint custody. You wonβt have to pay the baby mama nothing you got the child on whatever time you pick to get the child. She got the child whatever time she picked to get the child. You donβt have to give her anything cause the child stays with you just like the child stay with her so women who think like this please just get a life
no!! that money is for the child! child support!!! I understand if you take like maybe 50 bucks and save it for some Starbucks but it is for the children!! not you so you can go take care of things for you! make your own God damn money. this is pathetic. it is your job to take care of them, if you didn't think that that is how it should be, you could've given them up for adoption. I am disappointed in some mother's these days, smh
I get it that a mother wants to treat themselfs but the thing is there is no such thing as a reward for being a mother. You put them in this world⦠that should be ur reward
ew this video is disgusting but little girls will agree with this beast
child support should not be mandatory in states that allow abortions to occur
πππππππ stupidest thing I've heard all day
yeah wait till it's all done thru an app where they can monitor your spending for the child. to determine proper child support
that female is a sad example of a mom
omg i hope none of these men in the comments have kids.. and if they do i bet they paying child support π
in one ear and out the other Jesus christ he could have atleast tried π
um... no. that money goes to the child. it is not his responsibility to pay for her nails. you dont gwt rewarded for being a parent. period
funny because if quotes allowed more fathers to raise their kids instead of giving them to the mother because she's the mother they will be listening for child support because no self-respecting man will go and put his baby mother on child support if he can handle with himself
no money given to you for the kids to go to the kids that is why fathers now don't want to provide
she crazy
I didn't know being a mother comes with a reward π
shameless thinking. you broke up the nuclear family and made yourself a single mother and you want to be rewarded by taking money from your child? grow up.
well when the kids come stay with me make sure you drop out like you expect the dad to do.
no money give up custody if taking care of kids is a I problem 5050 month on month off week on week off I r whatever. kids are not a paycheck
ππππ
and those are the women you never should have kids with. that answer defines an undateable, undesirable woman who should be single for life and never be trusted to even babysit for children.
well at least she gave em 800.. my ex spent it all on meth
no you think saying 800 towards the kids is just perfect though if my baby daddy gives me a $1,000 for the kids then it's for the kids you took from out of your kids mouth it's your responsibility to take care of them and his as well and you're telling him how much he's going to do and take care of you too well who takes care of him and I'm just saying
It's to be expected and understood that when you have children they're going to take up all your free time and resources. Your not going to get a break for at least 18 year's. Being rewarded for something you mutually agreed on is not a justification to spend money that belongs to the care of your child. if you want extras for youself you need to obtain those extras with a supplemental job that you can implement for those extras.
