Deadbeat Dads


So, my bf and I had a long discussion about the current drama between Eddie Murphy and Mel B. Eddie basically claims that she is a liar and a gold digger. Scary Spice has reported that they were deep in love, got each others tats, and planned the pregnancy. Eddie has said that she was cool and funny, but didn't know how to act (in that classless, British, hood sort of way) and was loud, obnoxious, and potty-mouthed. When she began to offend his mother and children, he had to bounce (allegedly). Eddie claims they never planned on having a kid and she told him she was on the pill.

Mike seems to think this makes Mel B shady, and that she trapped him to get paid. She also, allegedly had the labor induced so baby Murphy-Brown would have Eddie's same b-day. I say, it doesn't matter because NO ONE made him go raw dog. He is worth millions! His mama never told him not to trust these chicks? He never saw Boys in the Hood? "Pill ain't gone keep your D from falling off!" His bad! The pill is not 100 percent effective anyway, and he knew there was a possibility of his being the father. I felt he handled the situation very badly, and I feel bad for Angel Murphy-Brown. No matter what he feels about the mother, that child has nothing to do with it, and these cold statements and lack of contact will definitely affect the child in the long run.

With that said, how can these successful men think its OK to not support their children? Now I know in some cases, the mothers are gold diggers and are asking for extravagant settlements. But if you can put 500,000 around your neck, you should be able to put that each year on your baby!

I find it truly amazing how men in general, rich men in particular, who have children out of wedlock find it then "unfair" to have to break bread for the support of their children. Believing she was on the pill is your bad, and nothing is 100% full proof anyway. This lesson should be taught in school...have a baby, support the baby, period. The more you make the more your child is entitled to. But here's the T...if you apply for joint custody and choose to step up to the plate and participate in the day to day rearing of your kid, you don't have to pay ANYTHING. Do you hear me, not one cent. But y'all not man enough to raise your own children. You want someone else to do it on limited means. For fucking what! Stop sticking your dicks in every bush and you won't have these problems. Use condoms. Be more selective. You Gots to do Better cause taking it out on your child is cruel. They deserve your love and affection even if you can't stand the mother.
