A Father’s Irresponsibility

Published by amberjones under Uncategorized Edit This

 Irresponsibility in adults drives me absolutely crazy!  My ex is a good example of this exact act so I will use his miserable attempt at life to demonstrate.  He does not see his daughter, he does not pay his child support and is currently over $10,000 in arrears, he did not buy her a Christmas or birthday present this year, and has now called me to inform me that he doesn’t have any money to pay his portion of the medical bills. 

However, he does have enough money to continue to do all of the things that he enjoys including playing baseball one night per week, playing darts one night per week, in addition playing in every state, tri-state, and city tournament of each of those items whenever they are offered.  In addition to that, prior to the state not allowing him to obtain a license he also used to go hunting and fishing whenever the chance arose. 

He is self employed and therefore the state is not able to garnish his wages so instead he uses the funds for his two homes, two pick-ups, a car, a boat, and most recently a hot tub.  So when I called him to discuss my irritation ….he informed me that I was just being “difficult”.  Which I guess I am….after all I am just paying for his daughter’s daycare, food, clothing, and medical bills…..
