Yeah right, Mel. They do nothing other than cash that extorsion check, and
let's not forget eat bon bons while watching Oprah.


I think the point is that CPs are not required to earn any money to support
their kids--only NCPs are required to do so. As for the parenting aspect,
sorry, Indy--they get no credit in my book for that because that is what
parents are supposed to do--take care of their kids. And the majority of
NCPs I have known would *love* to be doing all those things. The money is
the issue. Why does the mother of my husband's daughter get to sit on her
derelict duff, never asked to provide a penny, and still get to be the
"victim" of all those big, bad men who made her pregnant with all those
children? Why hasn't some judge somewhere told her to get off her lard butt
or go to jail? Our credit is ruined, and she is just a poor wittle woman
who deserves to be paid.
