Decision regarding name change

[mama24]

I have decided to not change the name of the group. I have taken all of your opinions into consideration and most of you feel strongly that the name should stick. Like I said we are not man bashing and we are discussing more than just $. I have contacted the mom who contacted me and she was just thankful that I heard her out and did consider a name change. I just do not think that the outreach we are attempting would be the same if we changed the name.
Thank you all so much for making this group an amazing place to post

Bravo to you for sticking to your guns...

I really think the "name" defines us...don't get me wrong, I'm really glad that either her husband pays his child support, or her "ex" pays his support, one of the two...but ...

her situation is not our reality...

So thank you for standing your ground...I know to me, it means alot!!

I'm glad to see you decided not to change the name. I don't see any reason to. This group is about moms whos exes are deadbeats. and if your ex is not a deadbeat then the group doesn' t pertain to you anyway. I know all fathers are not deadbeats but the ones we are discussing on this group are and isn't that the whole reason for this group. It wuld make since that someone would only join the group if it petained to them. So thanks for keeping the name I think it fits well for the subject we are talking about.

I love the picture that you chose to use to rep this group!  We all know what a deadbeat is, thanks for not changing it.

Thank you for not changing the name.    Let's face it there are daddies out there who are deadbeat's.   Why sugarcoat it and make it sound nice?  Granted there are dad's that this does not apply to, the one's who pay the child support, who make the phone call's and show up for their visit's and come to the school event's, they made the choice that nomatter what I am this child(ren) father and nothing will change that, my child(ren)'s need's and feeling's come first, and to those dad's i applaud them, they have my utmost respect. We are not talking about them. But more time's than not it does not work out that way.   My own dad was not involved with us much after the divorce and my ex was the same.  My husband now he paid his child support each month and was and is still very involved with his children, he made it very clear upfront that he had 2 kid's and they came with the package  it was not an option which was great it was the same with me, I have 2 boy's.  We are not man bashing or anti men from what I can tell, this is a place for us to vent and to get advice from those who are in the same situation.  It help's knowing there is a place I can go to have other people who know what I'm feeling.  And also if I can help someone out with something because I've been there even better.

i think it is great.  Blunt, and great.  I started a group (no one has joined yet) but it is called something very blunt and to the point.  coincidentally, I can't think of it but will write post again in a minute.  Basically, my ex is a pothead and chose to give me full custody instead of getting off pot (and whatever other drugs he might do).  Okay, kudos to this group, we need to be blunt!
