Also, fuck parents who don’t pay child support for their own kids.
I can't wholeheartedly agree with this statement, only because it puts the onus on the lowest rung involved parties.
Instead, I believe "fuck governments that don't provide enough support for a single parent to comfortably raise a kid."
I don't have kids, I don't want to have kids, but I also don't want to live in a world where a kid could starve or succumb to the elements because their parents weren't ready to have or raise a child. If a parent who doesn't pay child support means that their child's well-being is negatively affected, then a child with only one living parent could experience the same negative effects. Why should any single parent, or child of a single parent feel stress due to the absence of a single-entity third party?
Working in education, I frequently meet parents who don't want to be parents, and shouldn't be parents. I met people who believe that financial support equals ownership, and only continue harming their children because of mandated financial responsibilities. I meet single parents who are legitimately glad that the other party doesn't pay child support, because it equals freedom from oppression or abuse for the parent and child.
This comment kinda sounds like I'm attacking you, and I apologize for that, it's not my intent. My intent is to break as many people as possible from the belief that it's okay that raising a child costs two incomes. Raising a child should cost zero incomes, so that the people raising a child can experience the child as just a child and never a financial burden. I can't even say "fuck parents who don't help out," because there are plenty of parents who I don't want to see involved at all.
