What Deadbeat Means to Me...

The term deadbeat parent refers to those parents who willingly refuse to take financial responsibility for their children.

In my experiance with my childrens deadbeat father, he took this title to a whole new level. Not only has he not helped support his children for over 7 years, he is continously walking in and out of their lives. There are times he has gone years without seeing them.

So I ask....what do we call these type of people? and what do we think of the system that allows this?

My answer is simple, they are worthless and do not deserve the wonderful children they helped to create. As an active parent, I can not imagine walking in and out of my childrens lives, I cannot imagine not doing everything I can to ensure they have everything they need financially.

The courts say the make their orders "in the childrens best interest" is letting a parent walk in and out of a childs life, constantly bringing them up just to drop them once again really in the childs best interest?? and what about the financial aspect?? How do deadbeats get visitation if they willingly fail to support their children? Wouldn't their inability to pay support show their inability to provide for the children while in their care?? I would think so....
