Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to that if it meant the kids got the love and care they needed.
Kids probably are there just to extort the baby daddies for money tbh. Child support doesn't count as income for the parent, at least in my country. You can get child support from multiple men and then continue to receive disability benefits for your migraine, end up with more than minimum wage and all you need to do is find the next guy, because he'll help raise the kids while you sit around doing nothing, and eventually he'll have to pay you child support too.
This type of woman is like 0.1% of the general populace though, maybe less. I was baby daddy #2, but we cooperated to get our kids back from the abuser and now she actually has held a job for a whole 2 and a half weeks, which nobody thought possible.
When I was still with her, she was burning through 3-4x national median pay per month and we literally didn't have food money halfway through the month.
