A Pissed Off Great Aunt Telling the Truth About a Deadbeat Dad

My husband and I are helping my niece support this deadbeat’s kid- please think twice before you support him.

Waco, Texas Hauling Company

Harden Hauling

Looking for a reliable, affordable cargo and freight hauling company servicing Waco and the surrounding area? You have not found one. The guy who owns this company is the father of my great-niece. He is thousands of dollars behind in child support payments. Lost or quit a decent-paying job to open his own business. Is it a coincidence that his children who don’t live with him have stopped getting child support? This is a pattern. Throughout her life, he’s only kept jobs short-term. His child support obligations are less than it costs for a good meal out, but he’s stopped paying them, again. Still, he manages to take new wife, new baby, and the stepkids to do things, he’s paying to live in a house, etc Apparently, he somehow managed to get himself a truck and a trailer for his new little business venture, but he’s almost 10k behind in support payments. I don’t know about y’all, but I don’t know of a truck and trailer you can buy for less than 10k. He could have kept working and used that little nest egg to catch up on child support. My little niece deserves a dad who actually support her. I can’t make him into that dad- that’s a choice he’s got to make. But, I can damn well make sure that people know that if they choose his business, they are choosing to support a man who won’t even support his own child.

Cargo Hauling

If you want affordable, timely, and reliable cargo hauling, I would probably choose someone who honors the most sacred relationship between humans- that of a parent and a child. Hey, if you’re a Waco hauling company and you aren’t a deadbeat parent, hit me up- I’ll be happy to link to you and send business your way.

Agricultural Hauling

Need someone to help you move horses, cattle, or other livestock? I wouldn’t trust my animals to someone who can’t even take care of his own child, but that’s me. If you actually care about living things and the beings in your care, hit me up- I’ll link to your business.

Construction

This man built half of a whole-ass child and won’t take care of her. Do you want him having anything to do with your construction project? I mean, he had the money to pay for an actual wedding, and we know how expensive those are, but not to pay his back child support. Priorities……

Reasons Deadbeat Dads Suck

01

Their kids suffer.

My great-niece has missed out and will continue to miss out on opportunities because her dad won’t reliably pay child support.

02

Their kids feel unloved.

When you care about people, you take care of them. Even children know that. My great niece is getting to the age where she is going to start asking why he doesn’t pay child support. Children internalize everything. It’s a horrible thing to do to a child.

03

They never learn responsibility.

He is only baby number four with mama number four, that we know about. Since he doesn’t pay for his kids, why should he stop making them?

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is he really that much of a deadbeat?

I’m only telling y’all about one of three kids who don’t live with him. This is the tip of the iceberg.

Is he really a coach for his stepkid’s team?

Yes. The brass-plated audacity, right?

How much is he behind?

He wa at almost 10k, then started catching up a little. Now he’s not paying again.

Does he know how babies are made?

We haven’t discussed it, but it certainly doesn’t seem like it to me.

Someone married a deadbeat with three kids he wasn’t supporting?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- some women have very low standards.

Do you blame his stepkids or his new baby?

Absolutely not. They are innocent children who have no control over the shenanigans their father or stepfather pulls.

Want to do more?

Consider lobbying your state legislators to make it easier for custodial parents to bring enforcement actions for child support. For low-income people, getting $10k behind in child support means years of missed payments, resulting in desperate financial measures like payday loans for the custodial parent. My niece has family that can help her out a bit. Not everyone does. If you care about kids, lobby your legislators to change this system.
