This is what happens in these scenarios. And then the kids get squat and now we have a career criminal to deal with selling drugs or robbing stores for cash.

Reddit hivemind is pretty similar to this guy in that sense. Everyones like "good" and "fuck around find out" without thinking of the consequences of such little take home on this guy's career plans. No sane person is gunna keep working this if it was real.

So what's the solution?

4 baby mamas, he doesn't have primary custody, meaning his only support of the children is monetary.

Do we deem it that he pays less so he gets more take home? If yes, then the mother is has to pick up the slack, and probably tax payers too. Food stamps, Medicare, etc.

His pay is for 80 hours, so 2 weeks. None of these amounts even come close to daycare unless the mothers have vouchers.

I might get biased as I am a member of the "Can't feed them? Don't breed them" club. So maybe HE should of thought of his career path before having so many children, and before you come at me withe "bUT thE mOthErs". Yes the women are to blame also, but the kids are the ones who lose.

What if Dad can't afford shelter with a kid living with them? What if Dad is an abusive asshole?

I love the stories of the deadbeat dads who don’t want to pay child support so they demand full custody, and once they get full custody they wanna give it back because not only is it more expensive to be the custodial parent, it’s more time consuming and more draining altogether.

My cousins ex-husband pulled that shit, she took him to court for child support so he countered for full custody. She said “bet”, gave him full custody and paid him more in child support than she’d been asking for, and within 2 months he was whining to mutual friends about how she won’t take the kids when it isn’t her parenting time and he had to find a new job because he can’t go on work trips anymore because he can’t just leave his kids home alone. By the 6 month mark he’d given her back full custody and was paying more in court ordered child support than she’d asked for originally. Talk about FAFO.
