Enough!

I have been on Twitter and read some of the most ignorant rants, I have ever seen. Mostly regarding the Nas/Kelis ruling of approximately, $55,000 a month in alimony and child support. I decided to reveal some things to you. Firstly, I am due in family court on 7/28/09. This will be my second time in as many months. My sons father has proved that he makes $7,000 a month. He is contesting paying $200 a week for his 16 year old son. Regardless of the fact that I have, solely, paid $5400 for braces and $350 for driving school and don't let me get started on school clothes and supplies! The kicker about this story is my sons father hasn't spoken to him since November. Before that time, he stopped speaking to my son for an entire year. I had my son write him a letter and they talked. This time he is not speaking because my son doesn't want to come to his house, every other weekend, and babysit his two children (my sons little sister and brother). I'm airing this because it bothers me that people would be so incensed about Nas and Kelis, yet I am fighting for $200 a week and nobody thinks that is strange. A persons occupation has nothing to do with how they should take care of their children. Do you think Kelis and Knight could live off of $200 a week? One person on Twitter has the nastiest opinion of the situation! I guess it's because he alternates babysitting his daughter in lieu of child support. Yet, he is constantly trying to find someone to keep his child. Let's face it, babysitting is your DUTY! So, I ask that you think about others situations when you judge Nas and Kelis. SOME people would pay anything for their child.
