Let’s go ahead and just dive right on in.. Let’s talk about T.O. lol… What you thought I was going to speak on Obama supporting gay marriages in 2012 when he was clearly against it in 2008. No, for what!! I’m willing to bet that 75% of you have already made up your mind on how you feel about the situation. So there is no need for me to add my 2 cents to the fold. But, T.O. that is a different story….
Ok in case you didn’t know or missed what the buzz is about, Terrell Owens (T.O.) went on Dr. Phil with the 3 women who he has fathered 4 children with. On this show, they pretty much ripped him for an hour. I honestly didn’t want to even watch the show because for one, we don’t need to know your business Brah.. Come on.. But then I said, yeah.. Lets check it out. Let’s see why women are so upset.
Then I find out they T.O. basically decided to NOT be apart of his kids life because 2 of the women he had kids with are in his eyes “gold diggers!” Wow! There is so much wrong in that statement to even comment on. As a father of 5 beautiful children, I can’t even imagine not being in my kid’s life. My 13 year old has a track meet tomorrow. He has to be at the field by 7:30am and do you know where I’ll be??? I’ll be right there with him as he is checking in and cheering him on when he runs. Is my son the star athlete, no. At best he’ll probably finish 4th or 5th but guess what, none of that matters. He is my son and he could come in last and I’d still be proud of him. I’m not missing anything that has to deal with them, why because those are MY CHILDREN.
But T.O. you think that not seeing the kids is a way to hurt their moms, NO YOU IDIOT!!! You are hurting those kids. You know, kind of how you felt when your dad didn’t come see you or be a part of your life and HE LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOU. Yeah, I know that hurt. But I’m not going to spend this whole blog getting on you.
Ladies… You are just as foul. Why you might ask? One of the women, NOT COURT ORDERED MIND YOU, was getting $6,000 then $8,000, $10,000 and $12,000 a MONTH!! Are you joking??? I’m a father of 5 kids with his own house and bills to match and I don’t even make 6-12,000 a month and we are doing just fine. Your child gets more in child support than I make a year and you are complaining. Let me ask you something, how much do you make a year. Hmmm, I’m willing to bet.. Probably something close to what I am. So your child is supposed to be your come up.
I swear, this is why I hate the child support system. No one can tell me that any child needs $96,000 a year. I know T.O. has money, but that still doesn’t make it right. That child wouldn’t be deprived getting his daycare paid, clothes on his back, food in the fridge and money towards college each month and that damn sure isn’t $6-12k a year. Come on??? Let’s be real here! These women are using their cooch to come up. THAT ISN’T RIGHT!!!
I say we have set child support across the board period for different tax brackets.. If you make 8 figures a year or more, you should pay $5,000 in child support. If you make 7 figures a year or more, you should pay $4,000 in child support. If you make 6 figures a year or more, you should pay $2,000. If you make $50-100, you should pay 500-1000.. And if you make $20-50k $200-500 and if you make under $20k then you BETTER FIND A JOB to pay at least the $200 cause you didn’t spend the $3.95-$4.00 to get a condom!!! You paying something slim.
Now a lot of you might think that I’m letting people with money off the hook without having to pay these ridiculous numbers but I’m really not. The child is still being taken care of. You can’t tell me that a child will need over $5,000 a month. Cut the jokes! I guarantee some “gold diggers” will stop investing their cooch for future child support payments!
If you agree or disagree, let me know. Let’s talk about it. Please, make sure you add a comment!!!

As a single parent Harold you should understand 200-500 wont help much. Case and point day care for an infant will run you 1200-1400 per month 200-500 isn't putting a dent in that and then your still left with food,clothes diapers, wipes,and formula. Rich or poor if you don't wanna be a father strap up, hell he lucky all he got was a baby and not AIDS! Both parties involved are just nasty! And im sure he thought they were gold diggers b-4 he started sleeping with them with no rub, so he sat his-self up for that one. But youre right at the end of the day the only ones suffering in the situation are the children there should be a court mandate not only to support but to be active in your kids lives.
ReplyDeleteI definitely understand the cost of raising children, especially being a single full time parent myself. However 200-500 a month you say isnt much, but its more than the alternative... Nothing! How can you expect a person who is making 20K a year to pay more and survive? That has to be taken into account when computing their payments. If he/she is making 20k a year that is only 1666.66 a month before taxes. He/she still has to pay rent, buy food, pay for transportation to and from work along with paying their 200 a month due in support. I'm not saying its a lot, but it is something. And furthermore, please believe if he/she is making only 20,000 a year.. I guarentee day care for them wont be 12-1400 a month. They'll be having big momma watch the baby for $100 a week.. Or they'll receive day care vouchers. The only point I'm making is, the child support system in most states is a joke because it doesnt benefit the child in most cases but rather the parent! What benefits the child is the time spent with that child. The life lessons taught to that child by their mother & their father! That is what benefits the child
