It’s not salad she’s eating, because she’d be laughing.

That was Salem, Portland’s ghetto sister.

BIRDIE SANDERS.

Ok, sure, it's a lot of hair.

WAY TO RUIN IT EVEN BEFORE THE EPISODE AIRS

SD: That is SO meta....

Birth control should be fucking free, period.

The laws for pulling licenses were started as last ditch efforts to collect money from men who were, mostly, self-employed. They didn’t receive a paycheck for a job, so there was no easy way to garnish their income. If they have professional and/or business licenses, those are usually pulled first, but if there’s…

Seizing the license is a last resort. He would have to owe a significant amount for a long period of time. This is not a first move.

This is what my mom always says. Don’t badmouth your deadbeat ex in front of the kids, because they’ll just think you’re bitter. If your ex is truly a deadbeat, the kids will eventually figure it out on their own.

And likely do a fair share of the unpaid work of parenting: tuck her in at night, attend school functions, know who her friends are. If you took finances out of this I’d say the same thing: let the guy adopt the child he’s raising.

I don't think people understand about the drivers license. The court is only looking for a payment, usually less than $300. You have to actually attend the court date and mediate. People are freaking out like he needs to come up with the full $120,000. As a single parent I am always glad when my ex has his license…

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

I definitely can’t have kids right at this moment because I’m trying to follow my dreams and (a bit selfishly) not ready to be financially stable for a child currently.

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.

I’m curious about your actual relationship with your daughter... I don’t see it mentioned, so unless I missed something, I’d like to know if you speak to her, see her, or do anything to maintain a relationship with her.

I have a child, now 18, and did not get any kind of financial support from her father. We were very…

Seriously, fuck this dude. I don’t give a fuuuuuccccckkkk how hard it is in your industry. Does that mean your kids won’t need to eat until you get your shit together?

Get a real fucking job. Better yet, get two! You have the time because your kids don’t live with you!. You are a grown ass man, and the fact that you call yourself a writer does not excuse you from being responsible for the lives you created.
