Social Media antics

I'm not sure if y'all have seen the video floating around of the father who only brought food for his son and not for the child's siblings who are not his children. If not, I'll tell you about it. The video I saw was posted on TikTok and basically, the woman was trying to "expose" this father on social media to show he is not a good father. According to the video he was coming to bring food for his child because she couldn’t provide that at the moment. The mother became very upset because he didn't bring enough food to feed her other 3 children as well. She was not going to allow one child to eat in front of the other children. So, he asked he to let her child come outside to his car to eat and she said no stating he was not going to eat all if the father could not bring enough for everyone.

At this point, the father asks her where the other children's fathers are because those other children are not his responsibility. So, they argue back and forth for a while with her stating that how is it going to make her look for the one to have McDonald's and the others not since they are the child's siblings. She for the most part kept restating the fact that he should have brought food for all the children. Eventually, she takes the food from the father and throws it into the street. My opinion is that technically he is correct those other children are not his, so they are not his responsibility. Then he tried to come up with a solution that he still could provide for his child to be able to eat, but she said no and threw the food in the street.

Now morally because those other children are innocent and can't provide for themselves, I would have brought them all food. I don't know the history of their relationship, so I feel like maybe this has happened a few too many times before so he was not wanting to continue to provide for children who are not his. He made a valid point that those children have fathers. So why are they not bringing food for their children??? I'm sure we have all snuggled before, but when you are receiving government assistance to help provide food (she stated she had sold some) there is a serious issue going on. First, selling SNAP benefits is not legal. Second, if they hadn't already talked about him bringing food for the other children how can she be mad if he doesn't?

All my children are not by the same man, but I don't expect one father to also do for all the children when they are not all his. I appreciate what he does for his child(ren) and figure out the rest for myself. I understand not wanting children to feel like they are being treated unfairly, but they are no longer in a relationship so that means he can't be expected to still do the same things as when you were together. I think her attempt to expose him only made her look bad. Since she didn't do what she needed to do as a mother by selling her benefit instead of making sure there was enough food in the house to feed the children. So, what do y'all think was he wrong??? Select your answers in the poll and leave your opinions in the comments and stay tuned for the next post.

Unapologetically,
