Sounds it but I speak from experience. I have kids to a kind man. My sister has a kid to an arse. I have my rent paid, my kids cared for by him whenever i want, he is going to buy me a farm. Or at least make a huge payment and set me up. He has offered to take me over seas for a holiday. He gives me his car to take 4 wheel'n. Spends all his free time with the kids. Helps me with my mum with Dementia. My sister has to beg to get the state allowance. When asked why he has chosen to live 50km away from his son, he replied...."so i don't have to be near you and yer whining and your askin for help. What's the difference? A decent kind man and a selfish prick. Im going on vacation. She is one step off food stamps. All because of the original personality of the men! So what sounds pessimistic is her reality. Not mine.
It's so unfortunate that there are people like that around. At first sight they look just like the normal ones, but then you ask them to make even the slightest adjustment and it's impossible. It's great that you picked such a nice guy though! [Don't jump on me for that everyone - notice I said "people," not just singling out men!]
Unfortunately lots of young people are on the fast track to poverty and in a bad scenario to raise a child. 1. Jobs are scarce depending on what industry you have a degree in. 2. Lots of young people don't know how to manage finances in a smart and responsible way, and this is partly because nobody teaches you how.
