“Ladies, if he’s not taking care of child 1, 2, 3, and 4… What makes your think he will take care of number 5 with you?”
I recently put this quote up on my Facebook page. The initial quote was to open up women’s eye’s about settling for anything. However, I received a response from a man that was mind-boggling to me, his response to the quote:
Bad example! A man will be a man if he is a man. The number of children should not change that. Now if you are just looking for someone to take care of you, then you should move back in with YOUR mom and dad.
So does he feel men should have kids and not be responsible for them? By the comment, “A man will be a man if he is a man,” is he implying men should have kids and move on to the next woman just because he sees a piece of ass he wants to tap and have a child with her?
See the problem I have with the comment is that I feel he think men shouldn’t be accountable for their actions. Like it’s ok to have kids and leave them with their mom’s to take care of them. Is that selfish? In my opinion, it’s very selfish and the more men who have this mentality the more single mothers there will be.
Men, even if you’re paying child support, you should be a part of your kid’s life. No matter what you think, your child needs you. It’s things a man can teach a child that a woman can’t and vice versa. Don’t think child support is all you should do. Your child needs you, be there for them!
