The problem with that is there are probably plenty of deadbeat dads who'd be just fine with that and don't care about knowing the kids at all.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Trust my rage
Honestly, the act that he had money hidden away shocked me. I assumed he wasn't paying because he couldn't. Which I at least understand a little but not the hiding the money or spending it all to avoid the kids he fought so hard to see.
ION, I am listening to Les Mis. So much of that musical makes me teary.

There are a shockingly large percentage of them who feel that their sperm give them the right to demand access/influence/etc all without paying a red cent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Checked three things off my list and had lunch. Off to do two more. I think the last errand will wait for another day.

Our wings are not tired.

I know a number of women that let them get a way with it too. They don't want to be the bad guy and deny the kids their daddy time. Makes me crazy.

I'm catching up on this week's Scandal, and all I can say is DAMN, Shonda...
this series is getting seriously weird and fucked up. I mean, that's evil. Covering up stealing the presidency by getting a BABY that makes your husband quit his job? (Probably won't work anyway dude). Killing a whole family cause you're a psychopath who killed the president? WTF.
I mean...WTF. I figured this season would get dark, less white-hat, but DAMN.

meara,
it was a really fucked up episode, but I was so happy that Huck wasn't the actual killer, it didn't bother me that much. Also, I think you meant presidency, not pregnancy.

Oh, Pix, I'm so sorry. So grateful that your friend's family is OK, and so devastated for those who are not.

sj, you're totally right. That was a thinko I can't even blame on autocorrect! Hah! And I'm also with you on the relief, though it looks from the preview like things will only get worse when it comes back in January. Eesh!
