Doing the absolute minimum required by law for the child is actually for your sake. Don't even try to sugarcoat it as if you were doing society and the child some form of service. It's especially funny that you wrote the above post, because earlier you were playing the role of high-and-mighty with this wonderful piece of work:Inazuma wrote:I would pay the child support I was required to pay, and do nothing more. I would flat out refuse to ever see the kid or spend time with him. I would also never see his mother again and cut off all forms of communication. Hopefully this would help prevent more unwanted kids from being born in the future. It sounds harsh, but it's actually for the sake of children.
You go on this tirade about shitty parenting, yet when pressed with the question that if you accidentally had a baby, you openly admit that you would intentionally choose to do a shitty job of raising one by completely neglecting its existence and choosing to do the absolute, bare minimum. Aren't you something special.Inazuma wrote:If you don't want to make sacrifices and want to keep up a high quality of life, don't have a baby. If you choose to have a baby, you need to understand that raising the baby will cost you time, money and bring with it new challenges and problems.
Either decision is fine. What bothers me is when irresponsible selfish people choose to have babies and end up doing a shitty job at raising them. I also think it's silly to have a baby and then complain about having to raise the baby later.
