I'm not saying this loser has no responsibility to pay for his brood.
But if your baby mama number 11 and you know hes a deadbeat who hasn't been paying for the last 29 kids... 3 of which are yours... and you decide to get knocked up again... who is to blame when, surprise surprise, he doesn't pay for number 30?
