Maybe it's the "thin dime" part that you denied saying?

Your above question is unclear to me.

No surprise there.

No clarification either. The burden of communication rests with the
sender.

What does that mean?

It means he has no intention of answering the question of how to support a
child without spending one thin dime!

You missed the sarcasm.

Actually communication is much more than the sender making their message
clear. People who hear communications have "filters" through which the
communication passes. The filters allow messages through that fit a
pre-determined template of what the listener expects to hear. The receiver
of the communication has an obligation to recognize they have filters, but
many do not. Much of the recent debate in this NG has been based on people
hearing what they want to hear and discarding things that don't fit their
agenda.

The Myers-Briggs personality type indicators address these issues. People
who are strong at "sensing" pay attention to what is real and factual. They
are described as being realistic, practical, experience-based, or
traditional. People who are strong at "intuition" pay attention to a big
picture and patterns. They are described as abstract, imaginative,
inference-based, and theoretical. They will invent patterns if none exist.

When you have personality types that are intuitive and are strong on
"feeling" you end up with people inventing patterns to match their strong
feelings. (Sound familiar?) And naturally they clash with people who use
their senses to gather information and rely on "thinking" to process the
information.

What is wrong with everyone? I thought this was a message board a person
could get help with some questions. I got a lot of negative feed back.
What the heck is wrong with trying to get some help in raising my kids -
which are not just mine - they are mine and his - he who decided drugs and
alcohol were more important than his kids so he disappears for 6 years and
I work two jobs making sure my kids can have a decent life. Now he is
remarried and so am I - my husband pays child support and my ex lives
however he wants to live with no responsibility to his children. I was
just shocked at the negative feed back. I have a good job and work hard
so didn't give me crap about sitting back trying to live off him. I just
want to make sure my kids will get a chance for a better life by going to
college. I know life isn't fair but I do know I should make him
accountable.
