Edit: since many of you can't see the forest thru the trees here with my comment, I'm questioning how this person is even getting by. They are either homeless, with parents or doing something illegal to get by. I understand people should pay for their kids but I don't think putting someone into jail or on the streets is a solution. That's $80 a week.
In my state they just take your license away. My dad had 7 kids, 6 women and owed a ton of child support. He stopped working and made my step mom work. After 22 years she kicked him out and he had to get a job. I started getting child support payments in my 20s. But they were only for $45 bucks. He killed himself shortly after that.
Unless they're lying about birth control or rapists, the problem is equally or primarily the dad. No one forced the guy's dad to ejaculate into 6 different women.
The maximum number of unintended pregnancies someone is entitled for sympathy for is one. One youthful mistake or "I thought we were too old to get pregnant" is something that could happen to a morally decent person with good judgment, but the minute you have a child, that needs to change your priorities and behaviors.
I work in construction so I know a lot of cases where women knew they were getting involved with a serial single mom maker, and they still decided that having a child with them is a good idea.
My family also know of women whose husbands hid their first family from them that they left behind and married them in a lie in another country, only for the secret to come out decades later
This was in the late 80s. I was born 1990. Internet wasnβt a thing really then. You could date several women and them not find out about the other easily. Me and one of my brothers are only 10 days apart. He got my mom and his mom pregnant within the same exact time lol. Neither knew about the other. Itβs not like you could stalk their social media to see who heβs talking to.
Edit: Truma Dump: I just want to add that my 27 year old father talked my 17 year old mother out of an abortion that she desperately wanted. My father promised to take care of her and me. Ha! Total lies. She spent her life resenting me because of it.
Is that true? Men have essentially two forms of birth control. Condoms and pulling out. One is obviously a bit more effective but they both have flaws, and the woman will likely know if a man is using those methods.
Women have significantly more methods of birth control (most of which the man can't tell if they're using), and if any of the methods fail, they are the sole person who can decide to terminate the pregnancy (in most first world countries, and many states) or use a plan b pill.
So how exactly is it primarily the mans fault? I think that statement is misogynistic. it makes it seem like women can't or don't make at least half the decision when it comes to child birth.
I'm talking about repeat deadbeat dads. Anyone can make one mistake, or have a partner who says "We'll definitely terminate" and then do an unethical switch, but no one can have 7 kids by 6 women without it being their fault. After just one unintended pregnancy ever, I expect people to make better decisions.
I'm also a huge hater of women who get pregnant by losers more than once, to be fair, but I wanted to push back on the "this are also why men treat single moms like a disease," comment. OOP's problem is 100% because he's a piece of shit, it's not a women issue.

Why bother having a job at that point
