anyone see dr phill today?

[livie1205]

These people are SICK! That lady really thought her poor dh should not have to pay child support after he had sex with his ex and she got pregnant! She had the nerve to sit there and say she should not have to write that check every month because they had their own family and her kids were planned....I just needed to vent...my dh pays child support every month for a child we have most of the time...no problem...it is his child,we love him it gets paid.This is awful!

 

[PixieDust32]

No, I watched Ellen. You're right, that sounds sick.

 

[mumom95]

I didn't see the show, but some people just need to be slapped upside the head. And the fact that they are going on national television to complain about paying child support, I'm sure that really makes the kid feel good.

 

[MushyMushy]

I just wanted to reach through the screen and tell these people to grow the hell up -- especially that woman with all her "our perfect circle" crap. What's she going to do when her husband decides he no longer wants to support HER perfect circle?

And what's with Dr. Phil these days not interjecting with his own opinion? I almost can't stand to watch his show anymore because he just puts these people on and lets them spout their nonsense without saying a word.

 

[livie1205]

this is a child the guy produced BEFORE he got married so he and his wife thought they shouldnt have to hand over 350.00 a month...like that is a huge amount!He even went on to say that he didnt want to have any contact with the child 2 yrs old because he already had kids he meant to have with his wife!

I agree. And he never solves or even comes close to solving anything. It's all left hanging.

If he didn't want to risk her getting pregnant, he shouldn't have slept with her. I don't care what she told him. He has a responsibility too. What a horrible attitude by both him and his wife.

I know this is sexist of me, but I was more disgusted by the women on the show. I expect better of women. The mother of that one kid -- I wonder if she showed him any kind of positive encouragement about being a father. And to want nothing to do with a grandchild??? I sure hope I've raised my son better than that. The wife, IMO, was a pig with that attitude. You couldn't pay me to stay married to a man who would throw away a child like garbage.

 

[sunnyday123]

I honestly had to walk away from it. I cannot stand to hear a new wife boo hoo about her poor husband having to pay child support....because after all the ex-wives use the money on themselves. Did you notice the kid is wearing clothes, eating food, and living in a house? Why is the childs father suddenly not resposible??

She was clearly delusional. You don't get to chose to be a parent. There are consequences each time you do what they did and a child can be the end result. If you're not man enough to be responsible, get it taken care of.

grrr.

THANK YOU!!! I was embarrassed to watch. And I want no part of a man who doesn't put his child first. I dated someone like that, and we fought over the fact that I sided with his ex-wife 100% of the time. Needless to say, we did not date that long.

 

[PaulaSB12]

That is if these stories and those people are real. In the UK shows like these have been caught with fake guests and it wouldn't be hard to do that to boost ratings.

I have mixed feelings. I do think the guy is a cold hearted loser, not because he doesn't want to pay child support, but because his blood is in a child that he is paying for and he doesn't even want to see her. How can he not want anything to do with her? How can he not want to hold her? On the side I can see his point because women give up their babies. They have the choice to do that. They can also drop off their babies at safe havens and not look back and this guy doesn't have that choice.

I think that if he absolutely did not want kids at that time, he should have been abstinate. I didn't see the whole thing, but did it ever mention what birth control they were using? He is responsible too for birth control. I can't understand why he didn't do more to protect himself? He seemed smart so he must have known that unless you are abstinate there is always a chance of getting pregnant. He didn't have a gum to his head when they made the baby. He wanted play around. He could have stayed abstinate or have a vasectomy. That is for him to do or pay the consequences literally.

There are laws and maybe they need to be adjusted because they do seem unfair to men, but right now it is the law for him to support this child.

Unbelievable! I have 2 sons. The older one is married and the younger one...I'm telling him that women lie. They may say they are on the pill, it's the wrong time of month, it will spoil the moment, but the bottom line is: if you sleep with a woman then you better protect yourself or deal with the consequences (ie: possible pregnancy). If you make a baby, regardless of whether you feel you were "tricked" into it, you need to support that child, at least financially, until that child is 18.
The so called "man" on Dr. Phil was too busy claiming he was "tricked" to accept responsibility for his own actions. The wife was angry with the other woman when she should have been angry with her husband for not acting more responsibly. Sheez, where do they get these people???

I also had to just get up and walk away...I think I was more mad at the wife! How can she have any RESPECT for a man that treats his kid like trash!!!!She looked greedy and selfish!My dh had a child before we married,he pays his and we keep him ALOT ...I also set up a college fund for my 2 kids and his who is also my son....she should be ashamed to show her greedy little face...

Oh my god,thats what I tell my son too.

 

[C.Ann]

Didn't see the show, but my late DH faithfully paid child support for his 5 children from a previous marriage for many, many years - while also supporting my 3 from a previous marriage because my ex only paid child support very, very rarely..

When will the second wives understand that you shouldn't expect the children of the first marriage to just "disappear" or "go without" because you have chosen to marry a man who had children prior to marrying you??

I knew exactly what I was getting into - and I would have had no respect for my late DH if he felt it was okay to walk away from his first obligations..

I dont watch dr Phil. I get my entertainment right here.
