- I agree with this, too. But when my ex recently took me
- to court for modification last October, all I heard was,
- "college money". I even asked in passing what "college
- money" had to do with today, when we were in family
- services. She had the kid quit his paper route, "so
- he could study more". The kid is not only *NOT* a mental
- giant; he's borderline STUPID!
-
- And he's never worked an honest day in his life. When
- I was that age I was working around the yard, house,
- basement, painting, building, fixing, planting a garden,
- etc. All he does is karate and nintendo.
-
- Here is a 15 year old kid who, as we watched a movie
- on this topic, asked what an abortion was.
-
-
- Also, just before court he told me that his mother asked
- him what he wanted for Christmas. He honestly told
- her that he didn't need anything. He's right! He
- doesn't. He has a newer wardrobe than I EVER had in
- my life. Consistantly.
-
-
- So this is where much of my/our problem comes from.
- We're not like the "pony people", trying to keep
- our house. We're not rich either. But we certainly
- live week to week, and I for one don't need some
- greedy bitch trying to sqeeze my wallet because she's
- got a 15 year old board up her ass.
- Because that's all it comes to.

- My ex also has this "aged" look. She looks like a witch
- at early 30's. "Sour puss". And while it was never spoken,
- I repeatedly saw resigned looks on the face of my lawyer
- and court personnel when dealing with her, including
- a fairly stern speech from the judge in court.
