From time to time on urban radio I’ve heard an interesting discussion. I hear radio jocks\DJ’s tell women something like this,
DJ: “Stop tripping and let that man see his kids.”
Woman: “But he ain’t paying child support”
DJ: “He needs to see them anyway, that child needs to see their father”
Woman: “But he’s not about nothing, he doesn’t have a job, he has kids all around town he doesn’t take care of, he’s using drugs, disrespecting women, etc”... etc”... etc”...”
DJ: “Don’t take it out on the child, they need to have a relationship with their dad”
I think this is Pure-D Garbage. The argument that having a bad dad is better than no dad at all doesn’t sit right with me. How about that guy get off his butt, get a job to help support those kids then he can see them?
One of the things that’s really terrible is that a man can get a woman pregnant and really walk away from all responsibility. I do feel for the women on that part who are left to raise these kids on their own. What’s just as bad is how it seems like the men that try to take care of their kids are often penalized the most by the court systems or by angry baby mamas while these other dudes are living life to the fullest and given the most chances (coming out of rant mode”...)
Back to the main topic. I think it’s better for children to have no role models rather than poor ones in the house. That father figure is held on a pedestal by their children. especially the sons and this is what they will grow up thinking a man is supposed to do.
BMWK family what do you think? If he’s not trying to help support the kids financially, only buying tennis shoes on holidays, not working a steady gig, missing and forgetting birthdays, seeming like he’s more interested in trying to get with moms than the kids, etc”... (you get the point) should he still be able to see the kids whenever he wants?
