MOC, actually. But your point stands.

They look about 12. And this old fuck took them to a nice restaurant and gave them booze? I can’t work out why nobody watching this did a single thing?

Yeah, I understand what you’re getting at, and I think there’s a lot to discuss there. I just initially got a vibe from HudsonEileeniversityAsSeenOnLawAndOrder that was sort of ... “it’s not a stereotype if it’s TRUE—black men are deadbeats.” And most of the time I see that kind of rhetoric, especially on Jezebel,…

Exactly. It was wrong to rob him, but the girl said she decided to leave because he asked her to do things she didn’t want to do. I have no difficulty believing that he is a disgusting old perv.

Critiquing individuals is one thing—critiquing the “African-American community” as a whole as though bad fathering is unique and intrinsic to black culture is what rubs me the wrong way. By all means, we should hold people accountable to their own actions.

Please refer to my other response to explain why I feel this way since you have taken the time to judge me.

God yes. My husband’s stepmother would beg for her ‘kid fix’ but 5 minutes after drop off we get text messages telling us to hurry up, the baby pooped and we need to come home and change him.

Wow. I mean, I don’t rate my child knowledge highly but I CAN change a poopy baby.

While I do agree with you. It was mid winter during a very cold winter and yes we do have heat in our house but even then I wouldn’t sleep naked myself. So definitely not for my four month old child at the time.

Plenty of people with shitty parents grow up to be normal, decent people. It doesn’t mean shitty parents aren’t shitty.

I wish that were true. Except I’ve already given them chances with our kids for shorter increments of time. Also my FiL’s wife is my husband’s third step mom and she has never had children of her own. And while she talks a good game in practice it’s a different story. Here is a sample of what happened:

Seriously! Even if there are women out there who only sleep with Chris Brown in the hope that he’ll knock them up and pay child support for 18 years, it’s not like he didn’t have options to guarantee that wouldn’t happen. He’s a fucking moron but it’s not like I expected any different from him.

I just wish there was some word you could say when there’s a person who wants to have sex with you but you don’t trust them. Some way to decline having sex with someone you're not sure you can trust with your million dollar splooge.

Ooh! One time and completely reversible!

seconded!

Chris Brown wanting his daughter makes me think of my in laws wanting to spend time with my kids. Sure, it’s real nice that they seem all into being grandparents. But they only like the idea of being grandparents - the photos and the bragging they get to do. When it comes to actually caring for my kids, changing…

Every time I see this gif, I kind of want that outfit.

Shout out for use of “male.”

“females”
