Do Kids Need Their Daddy, No Matter What?

By Black And Married With Kids January 6, 2009 11:50 am

From time to time on urban radio I’ve heard an interesting discussion. I hear radio jocks\DJ’s tell women something like this,

DJ: “Stop tripping and let that man see his kids.”

Woman: “But he ain’t paying child support”

DJ: “He needs to see them anyway, that child needs to see their father”

Woman: “But he’s not about nothing, he doesn’t have a job, he has kids all around town he doesn’t take care of, he’s using drugs, disrespecting women, etc… etc… etc…”

DJ: “Don’t take it out on the child, they need to have a relationship with their dad”

I think this is Pure-D Garbage. The argument that having a bad dad is better than no dad at all doesn’t sit right with me. How about that guy get off his butt, get a job to help support those kids then he can see them?

One of the things that’s really terrible is that a man can get a woman pregnant and really walk away from all responsibility…

What do you think? Is a bad dad better than no dad? Read the rest of the article at BlackAndMarriedWithKids.com and speak your piece.

    I have no kids and im 25 years old and dont really want any but i have been a father to a child that isnt mines since he was born and the little boy is 4 years old now and he will probably neva know his real father and im all he knows as far as father goes and i will neva walk out this little boy life because im all he knows and real men know what i mean.

    I aslo agree. My sone is 6 months hell be 7 on the 10th. The father of my child has only seen his son 1 time. I even went to va so he could see his son and still he didnt come see him because of his girlfriend. Who is having his thired child. Im only 4 hours from him. He has every other weekend off. So why not come see your son. Now he would be mad if i got into another relationship and we were serious and he wanted to take care of me and my children. How would he feel? Someone who is not the father will bend his neck to make sure they have what they need not what they want. I bet 10 to 1 he will try to be there then.

    Some people fail to realize the affects a bad father. Some men make a difference in their kids lives good and bad. Girls look towards their dads to see how a man is supposed to treat a woman, they look at their dads behavior towards them and they later think its ok for a man to treat their children like that because thats how they were raised. Boys grow up thinking its cool to have different kids all over the place and not participate in their lives and not take responsibility for their offspring. It just goes to show the outlook of our future. There are not enough men stepping to the plate to participate.

    I know a lot of ppl won’t agree with me on this but this is kind of a sensitive subject for me. My personal opinion: My child will be 1 on jan 31. she has a male parent who takes care of her but she has only seen her biological father 4 times in her life. he has only given her $95. Yes this is a problem with me when he is taking care of 3 other kids that arent his. i grew up with my father so i understand how important it is to have a father but at the same time, i will not beg him to take care of whats his. true enough he has bills at his home and im not knocking that. take care of home first then take care of her. but he’s not even following thru on that. i have given him time after time after time. just face it yall, some daddys just aint gone do right. i’ve taken care of her with no problem since day one. so when child services contacts him. all i will say is i tried. ive given him all the chances in the world to be a father, to come see her, to come get her, to spend time with her. i dont even have to be present. so since he works on his time and his time only. child support will show him some time restraints.
