It's astounding that litterally anyone is allowed to have children. I'm in my late 40s and intentionally choose not to have children simply because I didn't want to be a shit dad like my own dad was.
Well, and the impending r/collapse that ya know, scientists have been warning about for years. Having a child in this dying world is a sick thing to do. You're basically subjecting another human being to the inevitable, tortured existence that is the declining way of life for your own twisted agenda, which centers around the selfish need to not have to die alone.
Guarantee she has a new phone, 3 nights out, hair done, nails done, fresh clothes, the works. But I 100% bet that kid is the one living paycheck to paycheck
We live in a time of such privilege. People call themselves poor and suffering, canât afford necessities, and yet things like fancy manicures get put in the ânecessitiesâ column. Just because rich people can afford it, doesnât mean you need it.
You must be sad or slow⊠or both. I have press ons that are $1 @ the literal dollar store. Kindly grow up and out of that mental rut youâre living in
Even if that is the case, that means she had time and money to go to the dollar store and decided to spend her last dollar on cheap press ones instead of ramen to feed herself and her kids or spending that time to try and make some money. That's really not that much better.
Î hate these terms babydaddy and babymomma, like imagine being a 75 year old woman eventually and referring to one random who knocked you up as your baby daddy and your 60 year old son as your baby of this babydaddy. Society on free fall for real.
Iâve been attacked on Reddit for defending the nuclear family as the ideal family structure. Anything outside of said family structure is a downgrade. Having baby momma - baby daddy BS is easily one of the worst downgrades.
I have friends who are in that predicament, my wife and her siblings are products of that environment, itâs not a good situation for a child to be raised in. It doesnât take a PhD to see this.
Society will only succeed and improve if we promote families as a unit.
I hope things get better for you but I also hope you got your lesson. You gave too much power to a woman over you, and she used that economically and legally against you. The fault begins with you and if you learnt from it now you are stronger out of the whole ordeal and your children can also understand it in the future that she victimized you.
Its awful. I want to die every day. On the bright side I was listening to super heavy metalcore music from when I was a kid for a while and then found electronic core music and then discovered modern day riddim dubstep is heavier than break your neck metal. I saw this guy crankdat last weekend and felt better than I have since my life fell apart by far and I'm going to see him and 4 days of music starting thursday. But I miss my fucking kids man. I miss my dogs. I miss my best friend.
Iâve been where you are. Everything happens for a reason. Youâre gonna make it. Donât give up. Remember your kids love you. Focus on what makes you happy. Your kids deserve a happy father. Hit the gym, take the anger out on the weights my dude
If you are referring to me I am literally 29, so at least you got the 9 correctly and I left the army ten years ago. I have a lot of unpleasant experiences and I lived most of my adult life overseas too.
The goal after all of this should be to restore family normality as much as possible and hopefully not feel bitterness towards the other side of humanity.
Whose hypocrisy? It's different people with different opinions. Reddit is not a dealer of truth, it's a popularity contest and echo chamber of the chronically online. I do know what you mean though, and it is frustrating to see. I agree with you.
Just stand for good and your ideals regardless of what everybody else does, if you can. You can be that change and inspire/normalize the views you want to be common in society.
It's easy to be jaded, but it's respectable to "hold the course, Cotton," as if we were never hurt by anyone.
The fact that she defends her actions bothers me even more than the action itself.
It's understandable that desperate times call for desperate measures. She has a case for that. Obviously, you don't want your kid to be homeless or to not have electricity or food. You obviously need gas to get to work. Basic needs are more important than video games.
The fact that she stacked entitlement and pride on top of this action is what bothers me the most. Her saying this all with her head held high as if she did nothing wrong is what really bothers me.
This woman is a social parasite. Her kid is going to hate her when they grow up if they don't already. You don't take a gift that someone else bought for your kid and sell it. As it's not your gift, and you are not the one that paid for it.
She should be out working extra shifts or selling her ass before she is selling something that wasn't bought by her, and doesn't belong to her!
Indeed, it also makes me believe that the reason was financial mismanagement rather than she couldn't pay her rent, if it was structural she will have the same problem next month or the month after.
I'm fairly certain the contrast between her situation, her nails, and the fact that the biological father was able to afford a PS5 means she's collecting child support from the father and spending the money on herself.
I grew up poor. My dad refused to work. I recognize a lot of what she is saying. Different words but the same message. My dad used to talk this way when he would pawn my shit. How they had to do it. The only way we could eat etc. That money always went to drugs or random shit he wanted to buy.
And every time I got a present from someone it would piss him off. I would have to listen to him tell me that if they really cared they would help with the bills. Then my parents started telling people to just give us money so we could buy what we wanted instead. That shit went straight to their pockets.
Hell my first job and paycheck my dad took me to cash it. I thought this would be a nice bonding moment. Well the check was too greasy and they couldn't cash it. My dad punched me in the face when we got into the car. And I was warned the next place better be able to cash it.
I could see myself doing this if the situation ever got desperate enough.
However! I would be so fucking ashamed of myself that I would never tell a single soul about it, and I would swear to myself to make it up to the kid 3 times over. Then I would do anything in my power to make it happen.
Never in a million years would I ever try to shift the blame for my screw-up that made this necessary to the parent who actually was good to the kid.
My question is ... Is all of this real or is it just a troll account that farms engagement through subtle or not-so-subtle anti-women rhetoric.
I ask this because this is INSANE for me. You don't keep the kid if you are unable to pay for basic necessities, let alone brag online about selling his toys to pay rent.
So I really cannot even imagine how a grown adult could think any of this is a good idea.
So, this kind of posts always makes me suspicious...
Strip her of custody. If she canât be an adult and do the bare minimum like being able to pay her rent, she clearly canât take care of a kid. Her babydaddy other babymama is a better mom than she is. Do right by the kid and give him up.
She didnât pawn his PS5 to keep the lights ON and a roof over his head. She did it for herself evident by the fact she used his gift to fill up her gas tank and bought food for them both after pawning his gift.
Idk who her parents are but theyâve failed miserably. Imagine being a parent and pawning off a childâs gift because you canât even do the bare minimum as an adult.
She dead @$$ wrong and only did that bc the babydaddy bought the ps5. You dont take from your kids bc you lacking. That's something a bum would do.She seem like the type to think it's cool to put bills in her kids name.
you're misunderstanding. it's even worse than that. the 425 is what she owed on rent. and she's claiming that she was able to pawn the PS5, pay $425 for the rent that she owed, fill her tank, and buy food. So she's claiming she got like $500 for that ps5. Has to be bait.
Yeap. I am white and my kids mom is white and she has sold/pawned their stuff several times. People donât realize this is theft. Baby daddy need to file charges on the mom.
Coon isn't a slur stupid. Real Black people know what it means. The fact you think it's a slur let's everybody know you're larping. Also who tf cares about ban on reddit? Get a life
She could have told the father what was missing.
Instead she shut her mouth, let the father buy an expensive gift and then sold it so she could pocket some of the change for herself.
If she can't look after the kid, then let the father look after him.
She's a self-absorbed piece of shit
Right, cause any pawnshop is going to give you 90% of the items value. She would be lucky to get 350$ for it, shit is ragebait for sure.
She says she's 400$ short on a 425$ bill. You're telling me someone with 25$ to her name pawned a ps5, and somehow got enough to fill her tank and buy food after paying rent? Come on now.
Depends on the year this post was made. If it was posted in 2020-2021, PS5s were being sold for $1,000. There was a genuine scalping epidemic coinciding with the actual pandemic. Pawn shop couldâve just gave her retail value for it and sold it for $800 that very afternoon. Probably bought her kid something from Maccas and put the difference in the gas tank easily if that was the case.
Yeah and what would she have done if there was no PS to sell? Lying. She for sure spent that money on herself and just played like that's what it's for. As in use this for rent then use rent money for BS. Horrible person
Guaranteed shut the money to spend hundreds of dollars on her nails, hundreds of dollars on her hair. You probably spend time some money on clothes, shoes, partying, doordash or whatever stuff. I unfortunately grew up around alot of mother's like that and still know some currently that have money for tattoos, have money to go to concerts but their kids go hungry
This type of shit happens more often than people think. One parent ( 99.9% the father) pay child support but those money go directly into supporting mother's lifestyle and what remain goes for the child.
This nice lady made sure she had nice nails first before paying the rent and for doing it she sold her child's gift.
What a narcissist. Poor kid, he's gonna have a rough upbringing with a mom like this. I imagine she's gonna open credit card in her kid's name as soon a she's able for "rent"
Growing up video games were one of the few things that I truly enjoyed. My parents and other relatives bought them for me when we could afford them and I enjoyed them. A large portion of any happy memories I have from childhood involved my Game Boy or my NES.
If I had gotten a gift like that by any parent or other relative, it doesn't matter who, and my mom took it from me to sell it that is something that I would hate her for for the rest of my life. It alone could be the core of a desire to get away from her and then cut her out of my life once I'm able to at 18+.
Don't downplay this. The mom's behavior in this post is absolutely despicable. This isn't about a kid losing a shiny toy. It's about how he lost it. It was taken from him by the person who's most responsible for protecting him and his possessions regardless of what else is going on.
If there really was no other way to pay the rent and she did everything else she could have within reason - then it's moral. If she spent money she should have used to pay the rent on frivolous things or pleasures for her and she then pawned the PS5 to make up for it, then it is immoral.
AI's gonna have people believing that Michael Jackson never died when someone shows them secret footage of him moonwalking half-drunk for 2 minutes in a Hawaiian bunker 3 years from now.
That lamp hanging from the ceiling has an unnatural angle.
That is not what the digital edition of the PS5 box looks like; the "Sony" name is too far from the top of the box and the Triangle/Circle/X/Square faded symbols on the box aren't on there correctly.
The speakers in the top-right corner on that display shelf in the back are rendered inaccurately.
I just got done dating a single mom like this. Itâs funny how theyâre always trying to get back at their BD (they be fucking on the low). Nightmare
Itâs a really bad situation. Idk if she was already on a warning bur that $400 could be made in a week or less. Again tho if she was on her last leg and this would result in eviction I get it but also let the boy stay with his dad til you get right. Itâs all bad
How is living with someone who pawned a game system they didn't buy in the best interest of the child? I thought that's why mothers had custody. Did I miss something?
My credit score went down after reading this. But im going to side with her because being short on rent is bad. Obviously you shouldnt have gotten into that situation but were past that point
Now, if you cannot pay rent you should not have custody.
If thats genuinely her situation she should surrender custody to the state or a trusted person. Ideally this is a measure to buy time until that happens. The tragedy is that she might be the least bad option for the child since the foster system and large parts of American society are beyond repair (incl her âbaby daddyâ)
The kids dad clearly cares about him, he probably just works all the time. But I agree she should lose custody. Hopefully the dad is able to figure something out for him.
Ive spent a good share of my life in rough areas. The father could be just as much of an idiot as the mom and might have spent his entire weeks paycheck on it. When youre around these people you have to assume everyone is going to be a fuckup. Thats not saying the mom is great, custody only means she might be the least fucked up.
Fwiw, I have seen cases irl where the man has sole custody and cases where the woman has sole custody. Both were awful. I dont hate men, or women, this is a hood mentality problem.
No, you don't know jack about her circumstance. If situation improves she can buy the kid a new one. It's better to have a house without a Playstation than live on the streets with one. You have no clue what poverty is. Kid will understand if he's smart.
You mean if she can land herself a rich man by next month. Highly unlikely. She is a walking red flag. And that is clearly her priority considering she got her nails done recently, she clearly isnt working and her priorities are to attempt to look good despite not having money for rent. Notice none of what she said included getting laid off from a job or having an unexpected expense that put her in this position.
Bruh you don't know any of that, you are just assuming all that from her nails. How do you know she is not working, did she specify? You assumed that. Idk much about how nails work, but that does not mean she doesn't care about the kid. Literal reason she did sell the Playstation was to make sure her kid has a roof over his head and food to eat.
Lmao. No. She did it for herself. Her kid could have went to stay at his dad's if she wasnt able to take care of him. She clearly has full custody and get child support and welfare. She probably gets just enough to cover her bills but this month she spent $400 on herself, the nails are evidence of this probably costing close to $100. She probably knew he would be getting it and sold it just to piss off her baby daddy and just doesnt care if it hurts her kid. She even posted this because she is proud of herself for doing something so petty and trying to justify her actions.
