I know what a few of you are thinking: "Jarrett, would you stop posting poetry and get to some subjects that I can argue with you about!" Alright, alright! I'm on it! I have something fresh from a story that I heard this week that I'm sure a few of you will disagree with. So sit back and let me spill "My Thoughts."
Not sure what year it was instituted, but child support has been the savior for many a child. Men who decided to go in raw (figured there was no use in sugar coating it) have been dreading this decree by the government every since it's existence. I must say that I really am not too empathetic to them though. But one thing I get upset with, is women who misuse this money. Don't get me wrong, I think there are a few things a mother must have to take care of a child. But if you are a woman that is attempting to live above your means with the aid of this money, then I think you should be ashamed of yourself (I would tell you to go kill yourself, but we can't leave the kids without a mom if the dad isn't around). I have seen women buy really nice cars and keep themselves groomed really nice, while there children walk around looking homeless. It's really trifling if you ask me.So basically, in the stroy that I heard, the woman was supposed to be using the EXTRA money that she was getting from her childs father to help pay tuition for her oldest child. To make a long story short, the daughter had to take out a few loans because her tuition wasn't being paid. Meanwhile, momma is driving around in a new SUV (Infinity Truck I believe it was).
I know some of you will read this post and say, "But what about the fathers that don't pay child support?" To that I say, Two wrongs don't make a right. Everybody knows that there are deadbeat dads out her who don't give a damn about their kids (If you refer back to my "Give Him A Chance" post, you will see how I feel about them) but that doesn't give women the right to punish the men who do care about their kids. Plus these women only end up hurting the children in the long run. You might not care about this post. You might not agree either, but "It's Just My Thoughts, Just What I Was Feeling At The Time"

i don't think anyone will disagree with this post. women mismanaging their own money or child support money when children are involved is 100% wrong. there is no gray area or "what if's" to disagree or argue about. IT'S WRONG!
now, about children walking around looking crazy. let's talk about these white mothers with black children and the hair tragedies i see. AND about putting fake hair and relaxers in little girls' hair to ensure that they NEVER grow any kind of healthy hair. ugh. now, this is completely off topic and has nothing to do with anything but i saw it on the metro and decided to vent.
You're preaching to the choir. I totally agree!
I think my solution is what I didn't think women would agree with. I think ALL women should provide receipts for the stuff that they spend this money on. If the government are gonna regulate it, it should be regulated totally. I think there should be an assembly who review's these receipts and determine what is an acceptable purchase and what is unreasonable. Of course some women will have problems with this, but I think they are the very women that need this to be put in place.
I know I am late but receipts can be a good thing if the money is not being used for the child, it should come down to is that child should not have ask for anything, but i am just happy that a father will pay child support, cause its some that dont!
