Well, I can see why he can’t break $25K / year.

I guess I’m sympathetic but protestations of love don’t really mean anything. Nobody cares that you get tingly feelings when you think about your kids. If you really loved them, you would be doing whatever it took to provide for them like their mothers are. If you didn’t have money and still wanted to help, you’d be…

He means Creator of Kids He Won’t Support.

I’m sorry - you clearly missed that he is an artist. He will not be bothered by such details. Oh, and there’s a government agency with a confusing website so LOL, no child support.

1) Vasectomy.

Times are tough. I get that. But...guess what? You don’t get to hope to become Baldwin if you can’t pay your bills. I can’t believe you could ONLY get a UPS job. I’ve seen people in their 50s working at Starbucks.

Cry my an effing river dude. You sound like a whiny selfish teenager. Why is that millions. MILLIONS, of women all over the country find a way to support their children when the men in their life leave them high and dry, but you couldn’t find any source of income? Did you try cocktail waiting? Valet? Stripping? Then…

“Have you lost your mind?” Amy asked. “What do you even know about this man who would become her father?”

You shouldn’t have had kids you couldn’t afford. Why didn’t you think that through? Expecting a lottery win? Now your kids are growing up in grinding poverty and the pain continues. Stop writing and get a job-job. Enough coddling your art. You have kids to support. Now!

Since he always refers to her as his fantastic daughter, I’m going to say he has limited interaction with her in real life. Using superlatives and flowery language is supposed to make up for the distance.

“The broken molar in my mouth is being held together with hope, and I haven’t had new clothes in five years. And, sure, there is that gym membership, but only because the one thing people like less than a poor person is a fat poor person.”

Pssst! Little secret: If you’re 50 and earning less than $25,000 a year freelancing, you probably suck at it!

Really? This guy is a deadbeat dad? I would have had no idea...

This is a perfect article to explain why people should not have children if they don’t have a stable environment in which to raise them. I’m curious as to how many of his children are planned. Just because you can have kids doesn’t mean you should. The sad this is our tax money is paying for his kids more than him.

Pro Tip: Wear Condoms

So the first time you actually have a parent of color write a parenting article for jez and you choose a black man who won’t pay child support.

As a mom who landed in a shelter, this is an interesting perspective. However, he must know being a professional writer does not preclude him from applying for city jobs. You can still write for Time magazine while working for sanitation. You can still blog while working for the post office.

My mother worked as a secretary in the child support office during the early ‘90s. She had to unlist her phone number because we’d get calls at all hours from mothers and fathers complaining about child support. I find it very difficult to feel sorry for parents that aren’t providing their share for their child.

Before I saw the skin color of the writer, I was going to write a post about keeping your twigs n’ berries wrapped, but then the photo gave me pause. Would the comment be considered as racist based on the skin color of the writer? But I’ll try anyway.
