How far does your child maintenance go?

I really hate all the bitterness I'm not resentful-that's just how life worked out. Life's too short to carry around anger especially towards someone who I once loved and who created with me a wonderful son.
I feel the same! As without him I wouldnt be here now with my boy! And I would never ever change that fact! I was very young when I had him and I will admit a bit immature, but because of falling pregnant I grew up and Im a better person for it! I would hate to think about what life would be like without my boy. When your son says "I love you mum" or "I miss you" when he is on the phone, its just the best feeling in the world!0 -
Although we all know that some parents are scumbags when it comes to making a decent, financial contribution, to finance the true cost of their own flesh and blood, for some, what is understandably hard to understand, is that they actually married someone like that (love is blind and all that).
Some people even marry a person who they know doesn't contribute much to their childrens upkeep and make excuses for them. It's a funny old thing, love.0
