Speaking of child support... Maryland sucks so bad!!!
My Ex hasn't paid a penny in over 6 months. He just bought a new house in Miami and has two rental properties that he rents out in Virginia. He works too. He is flying to Maryland to attend a concert for our son.
I'm glad he's doing well but damn. Why does Maryland have such a hard time enforcing a court order?
A choice is a choice. You choose between the choices, freely. The question is, are you willing to abide by the consequences of those choices. YOU, and many like you, choose to ignore the needs and wants of your own child for your own selfish needs and wants. It's really that simple.
Honoring the humanity of the person is fine. Honoring the dishonorable actions is a lie.
And, I believe someone once told me that it is wrong to bear false witness of my neighbor. To teach them their "dad" was honorable would be far worse, socially and ethically. Honest representation.
I do not suggest liking. I suggest being honest. If a parent chooses to desert his/her children, denying those children the assumed benefits of that parent's time, love, physical, emotional and economic support, then it would be dishonest of the custodial parent to not provide that information to the children, and tech them that those actions are dishonorable.
Some how I just do not see that as accurate or true.
I figure your saying it just to create a dishonest dispute.

Talk about "degrading the parents"You're calling her a liar? That's not very nice, Jimmy.
You're calling her a liar? That's not very nice, Jimmy.
I have him on iggy but....Thank you.
The real message for the children is whatever the separated parent tells the children as their truth because the custodial has no right to speak or teach in opposition to the other parent's wishes.
The law does give the custodial the power to insult and to degrade the separated parents because custody does mean legally stealing the children from those separated parents, but to do it is still sinful indeed.
You're calling her a liar? That's not very nice, Jimmy.
I did try to be nice about it, but my real objective is to be more truthful than nice.
And many people preach stuff like "Santa Claus" and they see it as cute instead of a lie, so I do not call such persons as "liars" as they are more so just immature.
What the Woman said was so extremely untrue that there is not much else for me to do other then to call her on it.
If some one tells me there is a flying saucer on the roof with creatures from outer space walking around, then I will believe them and walk out to see the proof, but there is nothing to prove in her words and I say it would be weak of me to let it stand unchallenged.
I did it as nicely as I thought I could, and just because one is dishonest does not truly make them a "liar" in my perception as I have a much higher requirement than that.

Okay, here's what she said:So, since you know her story better than she does, how much has her ex paid in the last six months? Did he, or did he not buy a new house, and is it in Miami? How many rental properties does he actually have in Virginia? Does he actually work, too? Is he, or is he not, coming to MD for a concert?
If any of these claims are "extremely untrue", please provide the truth.
The question that continues to come up in my mind is this.
You constantly give advice on the proper way to raise children, what you should and should not tell them. How you should deal with things like Santa, or the Easter Bunny etc...
What I have yet to pick up on, and I'm sure that I'm missing it somewhere so please entertain me with a repeat of this answer.
based on how you turned out, and based on how your own child has turned out, what is it that gives you confidence that your way of raising a child is in any way healthy to them being a productive and happy citizen when they reach the age to be expected to do so?
where did you gain this valuable information that obviously surpasses the techniques of the many parents here that are involved in their children's lives.
I suppose I am basically asking for a brief resume from you that would cover your child rearing expertise.
Can you link me what her lie was? I didn't find where you'd defined what it was she was lying about.

JPC, I think you'd better answer this. We all expect you to dodge and evade, but nonetheless, if you make a flat-out claim about another person you ought to support yourself, ignorant though you may be.What did she say that wasn't true?

But you have said hardly anything.if they can not understand the words then so be it.
I guess we won't know that one way or the other because she has you on ignore and does not care to engage you. I think it is interesting how you speak for others when you complain about others doing the same for you.She is satisfied
But you have said hardly anything.You called her "dishonest" and her claims "extremely untrue", yet you can show nothing towards how you know such things. I think you're scared to answer specifics because you know you will be trounced, so you keep everything vague and bail out before the heat gets too high.

Which words? Where did you say what she was lying about? You only said she was lying, we're asking what you're claiming she's lying about.
