My goodness, there is just no end to your "poor me" routine, is there?
Every day Gabriel tells me he wants some new game or toy or he wants to
go to Denny's and I have to tell him I can't right now because things
are very tight. He knows you're not helping out with anything. He
knows about your refusal to help pay for shoes, school clothes, food, et
cetera. Lately I've been telling him that he should call you and ask
you for the things he wants since you aren't paying for anything else.
He says he doesn't like asking you for anything because you just give
him some bullshit excuse or say you'll look into it then you blow him
off. I really don't think that Gabriel cares all that much about
getting a birthday present from you. He knows that you had his phone
turned off today because you were pissed off that he didn't want to see
you. His response to that was "Wow, that is SO childish." Contrary to
your claims, I don't need to fill his head with ideas that you're a
monster, because he's figured that out all on his own.
If you want Gabriel to know that you can't get him a birthday present
because I'm "making" you pay for things that any responsible parent
would do voluntarily, then tell him yourself. If he doesn't want to
take your call then leave a voice mail.
And, about your income being "not huge", let's see, your income is
$58,000 a year. Mine is zero. Yet I'm the one making sure he is not
hungry, and getting him to school, and paying for his bus pass and on
and on. You have SOME nerve. Thankfully he's old enough and
intelligent enough to see all of this and to realize what's going on.
Furthermore, if your money is so tight right now what the hell are you
going to do when the court orders the child support? You were right
there in the court room when the judge pointed out that the payments
would be retroactive from the date I filed for it. At this point you
would be 9 months in arrears - that's about $6300. Even if I got a
project on Monday and started making $150,000 you are still going to be
liable for that $6300.
On a side note, isn't Kristopher on probation for the shoplifting
charge? It's my understanding that when you're on probation you're not
allowed to leave the state. What a swell guy that he's willing to take
that kind of risk for you. Oh, let me guess, you're going to claim he
got permission to attend YOUR family court hearing?
And, since you're suddenly so interested in being financially
responsible does that mean I can expect your part of the hospital bill
too?
I'll watch the mailbox for your check. (I'm being sarcastic)
