This guy has 2 children that he had with his ex-girlfriend named Kayla. His son is 8, and his daughter is 15, and he and Kayla split up 6 years back.

Since then, he and Kayla share custody of their children right down the middle, and he does pay Kayla child support.

He currently earns $50,000 at his job and has to pay Kayla $1,000 each month. Kayla never held a job prior to them having kids, and she still does not work to this day.

He thinks Kayla has not gotten a job because she just wants to be a stay-at-home mom, though he is aware that she will do “odd jobs” on occasion to make some cash.

Anyway, 2 years after breaking up with Kayla, he began dating a woman named Serenity. His children adore Serenity, and he does too.

Serenity works very hard, she’s super intelligent, and she’s very kind. Serenity has her own company, and she earns six figures each year.

The one thing that he has in common with his current girlfriend and his ex-girlfriend is that they all grew up in poverty.

So, 5 years ago, he got the job that he has now in order to give his kids a better life than he had, and he doesn’t want them to have to really “struggle.”

The home life that he and Serenity can give his kids is drastically different than the home life that Kayla can provide to them.

He’s in the middle class, whereas Kayla lives in one of the worst neighborhoods and has to rely on public transportation to get anywhere, which is exactly how he grew up.

Recently, Serenity purchased a luxury car for herself; a Lexus SUV. This is Serenity’s dream car, and she spent half a year saving up to purchase it.

While she was saving, Serenity used his car. And when she purchased her Lexus, she took a video of it and posted it on social media.

“My daughter sent Kayla the post, and she went off,” he explained. “She called me and told me how dare my girlfriend ride around comfortably while my children are living in the hood.”

“She said my daughter cries sometimes when she gets back home because Serenity has luxury bags and clothes and makeup, but I don’t buy that stuff for her. I told her I can’t afford that stuff because I’m too busy putting the money in her college fund and that, unlike her, I don’t just get handed money.”

“She says I need to get a better job so I can pay more child support. I told her absolutely not. She called my mother, and my mother said I need to get a better job and do what’s best for the kids.”

He is fully aware that he could go out and got a job that pays him more, and he also could end up working for Serenity in order to earn more as well.

Both of those options are off the table, though, because he has zero interest in having to give Kayla more of his hard-earned cash.

He thinks it’s time for Kayla to step up and do something to better the lives of their kids and that it shouldn’t only be on him.

“I know my kids don’t have the best lifestyle at their moms, but if it’s such an issue with Kayla, she should get a…job like I did,” he said.

“She then went on Facebook and made a post about how my girlfriend drives around in a luxury vehicle, but my daughter takes the bus to school. Everyone commented that…I need a better job.”

He’s left wondering if it’s wrong of him not to want to make more money just so he doesn’t have to give Kayla more.
