[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a nanny and worked for a family like this through their divorce. Dad felt that mom was wasting his money and wouldn’t pay because he believed it was all unnecessary.

Doctor bills: mom preferred a more expensive holistic doctor to treat the kid’s chronic asthma, so dad refused to pay.  Dad did not seek alternatives that were less expensive, did not make any appointments or manage any treatments, and in fact did not even give them meds during overnights, leading to at least one asthma attack.

The kid was diagnosed with autism.  Dad didn’t believe that autism is real, so he refused to pay for any therapy, tutoring, medication, etc.

Dad didn’t care about extracurriculars so he didn’t pay for them.[/quote]

How is this not child neglect? [/quote]

Tons of child neglect out there all around.

We should start to focus on how to best stop the tragedy of divorce of our children. How to help them become people who will work hard to stay married? How to help them learn to get along with people they’re mad at? How to pick girlfriends/boyfriends of good moral character? And eventually of spouse of good moral character?

There is a reason you are divorced and have a bad relationship with your ex.[/quote]

Please leave. You are nasty and clueless. [/quote]

Why don't you leave?  Using the term "b" is completely inappropriate even if you disagree with someone.  If someone treats a stranger that way, imagine how they treat their spouse or ex?[/quote]

I didn't call you a B. That was someone else.  But you came to a Special Concerns forum to lecture us about how we should have worked harder to keep our marriages and I guess to tell us that whatever we got we deserve.  Takes a special kind of person to do that.  I'm sorry you can't see that.  I'm so happy that you are perfect in every way and that you never had any difficulty in life.  Good for you.  Now, please leave the rest of us, imperfect folks, to commiserate without your judgemental posts.[/quote]

I don't think you should work harder to keep your marriage going.  That was someone else, but I don't agree with the name calling or telling someone to leave or calling them names if you don't agree with them.  But, on the flip side the constant man/dad slamming gets old as there are also many decent men who do pay their child support and want to be involved and aren't allowed by the other parent who may have been the one causing the marriage problems.  It goes both ways.

And, why don't you pay mom makes no sense as child support is not a payment for mom.  [/quote]
