Another Dumb Ex… and a couple more kids

First off let me give those of you reading a little background. When I met my husband he had a two year old little girl, I had a two year old little girl and I was pregnant with a little boy. So, my ex is the father of both of my children although my little girl doesn’t remeber him and my little boy has only met him a handful of times and never as daddy. My husband put his name on my son’s birth certificate when he was born because the real dad wasn’t around. Anyhow, because of this he is only has to pay support on my daughter. He got married about a year ago and his wife has been paying his support. (which is only 40 a week) I guess recently she has been giving him the money to go pay it because I have only been getting like 5 dollars every two weeks. Then he has the nerve to send me a message demanding to know why a sherriff just knocked on his door serving him court papers for child support! I said "well, I guess it’s because you’re the same lazy bum you were when I met you all those years ago and won’t keep a job to support your kids." He just kills me. He acts like everyone in the world owes him something. And it’s everyone else’s fault but his own that he doesn’t have a job and has to depend on other people. Don’t get me wrong…. Everyone goes thru a bad slump but he has never held a job for more than 3 or 4  weeks then it may be another 8 or 9 months before he gets another! People just kill me. I admit I don’t work, but that’s an agreement my husband and I made. I take care of our four kids and our home while he works. We don’t have a lot extra that way but we manage to make it. I’m grateful to be able to do that. Anyway, I just didn’t know if I was being irrational expecting him to help or what….Fell free to leave your opinion

I think it’s great that you stay home to be there for your kids. I hope to do that one day for my kids, as my mother did it for me.
