I hope you climb 50 foot up a pine tree and it snaps in half.



Just felt like putting that out there today

Trouble in paradise?

Nah, Drew's brother had a birthday this weekend and he really wanted to go see him. His dad didn't invite him to the party, call him or return his calls but. I know how hard it is to see your kid when they are 30 minutes down the road....only makes sense to see him twice a year.




Douchebag

Yep, he hasnt changed a bit it seems then.

This^^^^^ REALLY pisses me off,there is no excuse in the world to make this acceptable.

I'm in!
How about dead beat parents in general.
I know a few I'd like to drag behind my truck.

My sister has a 5yr old boy, that the father has only seen maybe 10 times his entire life. He does always send CS like he is supposed to, but he never visits and only calls a couple times a year. PC OF SHAT!

Child support is deducted from his check so it's not like I can even give him credit for taking time to "send" it. They lived 7-8 ,miles from us for years and still only saw him 4-5 times a year MAX. Now he has three other kids and it just pisses me off to see Drew get upset about it. I know how it is, had 2 different step fathers and didn't get to see my dad a lot growing up but I at least talked to him several times a week. I'll stop now before the F bombs start flowing.

It would be cool to get the mothers ok and give him an Aldeer birthday party. I would love to participate and donate a few bucks to give him a nice present or two. I know it it not the same as having your biologic father there, but at least he would know some male figures give a chit in the world. My two cents. If i've overstepped my bounds I appologize. It just is not right for the children to have to put up with this from a missing parent(s)!!!

This could untimately be a yearly event for the Aldeer men (and women if they choose to participate) to show there are Men and Women who care. I think it was Skinny who had mentioned something about doing something other than the toys for tots this year. Why not find several families who have a missing parent and help them out? It may not be there is a deadbeat parent per say, but maybe one parent has passed away and that family could use some spiritual, financial or other type of support. If there is a mom who has lost her husband and needs some general fix it type of work around the house. Any ways, you get my jist. What are all of your thoughts????

It wasn't his bday, was his brother (Half brother technically) and he was upset that they didn't include him. Thx for the offer but there are plenty of kids out there that could use help....he gets more for bdays/Christmas than he needs now. He has a pretty good stepdad if I do say so myself.


That being said, I'd be willing to participate in that type of fundraiser.

My father saw me only once between divorce and 12 years old. He showed up for 10 minutes at my 6th birthday party. I remember the gift he gave me to this day.

I didn't see him again until I was nearly 13. He sent $20/each child support each month for my brother and I. Military commanders forced him to do that much.

When I was 9 my mother was desperate. I overheard her tell my grandmother she was calling him to see if he could help with Christmas for us. I picked up and listen on the other line because I wanted to know what he sounded like. He cussed her up and down and told her no. That's the clean version.

My grandfather was the only positive male influence to me most of my life. One other man took me under his wing as a teen. Those two men I would do anything for, without question.

I consider myself lucky that I had them. One of my brothers is dead, the other in prison.

One of the biggest tragedies in American society is the lack of positive male influence in children's lives. If the boy lives with you, then you are that influence. Just be everything to him that his biological father isn't. He will one day be a better man for it. One day he will wake up and no longer care that the man isn't in his life. He will only care that you are.

It ain't just the black pieces of crap who need hanging, it's dead beat parents as a whole.

Fatty, breaks my heart to hear that. It's hard to understand, how any parent can be so calice towards their children.

he is not a dad. he was a sperm donor and i will never understand how a parent could do that to a child.

Well, the good news is my son don't have to worry about any of that.

I knew that before you said it man.

I do not understand why parents do that either, but the numbers of kids in that situation is staggering. It is larger than any of us actually realize. The complete breakdown of the family is one of the top three issues facing America today, with a turn away from God and overspending by our government as the other two.

What about dead beat mom. My son has been to court 3 times and his child's mother owns him over 3 years of cs($15,000) and nothing has been done about it. He still makes sure that she get to spend all her time with her mother and any extra time if she ask for it. So there are dead beat moms also. Anybody who brings a child into this world owns that child all the love and support that child deserves.

Yep! I know of one such woman that basically gave her 15 year old daughter and 16YO son away to live with various family friends so she could run the roads with bums and party. She only did this after letting them both do anything they wanted growing up including TAKING the girl when she was 13 to get birth control and 14 to sign for her getting tattoos and random piercings. Then just cant figure out for the life of her why they are so out of control and she just gave up. Smart lady.


I wish it was in Gods plan to sterilize these folks at birth but alas, he knows more than me.
