Trying to Make Sense of It All...

GIve me a break!

Here's a qoute from allhiphop.com: "Sean "P. Diddy" Combs was ordered to pay more than $21,000 a month in child support for him and his ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim's 11-year-old son Justin. The order, issued April 7 by the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division, mandated that Combs pay monthly payments of $21,782. Rob Shuter, a spokesman for Combs, said the hip-hop mogul plans to appeal the decision. Combs currently pays Hylton-Brim about $5,000 a month. He was sued by his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter when the pair was separated, for child support for their son, Christian. Combs currently pays Porter about $30,000 a month."
Now, I believe that a man, especially a rich one, should financially contribute to the upbringing of his children as long as he is able. However, there has to be some sort of reason when they do this shit, right?! Unless a child has serious mental/ health problems, $5k is just flippin' ridiculous man, and $30k?! She-it!! I might as well take sole custody if it's like that, potna. You know ol' girl is pocketing all that money. That's not right...that's basically like alimony for getting pregnant, man. That's crazy! It's been estimnated, that from age 0- 18, it costs a little more than $400k to pprovide for a child. Now honestly, many people with low-paying jobs have done a damn fine job with much less I'm sure, but, at $30k a month, the mother has cleared $360k in (I assume tax- free) child support money in a year! Now, I bet she doesn't work... Why would you if you have $30k coming in every month? But, why does she get to live off money that's supposed to be for her child's support??? I just ain't feelin' that, man...what do ya'll think?
