Where once again I hate on the sisterhood

I know. Women are oppressed, we shouldn't criticize them for their choices blah blah blah.

So in the ongoing saga with Kid's dad, I have now gotten an email from his girlfriend(?) who explains that they can't pay child support this month but she will gladly bring us a bag of food after she picks up her kids. I'm still picking up my jaw from all the dripping condescension in that email.

Women who date deadbeat dads (or men who date deadbeat moms) are just about as bad as the deadbeats themselves. This is a person who has chosen to be with someone who won't take care of their responsibilities. But even more than that, this is a person who is using resources meant for someone else's kid for their own gain.

I've dated more than a couple of dads. One of the first things I find out is if they see their kids regularly and pay child support on time. If a dude bitches about how much he's paying or how evil his ex is, I walk. One particular dude (who was very very good about paying child support, even if he had to borrow it from his family) got a loud lecture when he complained about the cost of gas to drive out and visit his kids. I think I may have pointed out that he spent more on porn than he did on gas and he should suck it up already.

So getting an email from the girlfriend just makes me boil. The girl must have some serious self esteem issues if she thinks she's made a wise choice. Let's just hope they've got good birth control, cause lord knows neither of them should breed again.
