Bridget Moynahan/Tom Brady baby name game - Page 5

Of course, anyone is free to spend THEIR own money as they see fit, that's a no brainer. We are talking child support.....and that should never be spent by a parent on themselves, it's only for the child.

AliceInWonderland · August 29th, 2007, 02:19 PM

its sad that some ppl think child support replaces the role of the parent

I feel so incredibly lucky to have been borne into a marriage of two ppl who love each other immensly and wanted me more than anything. that seems so rare sometimes...

Sweetie · August 29th, 2007, 02:27 PM

^ That's exactly how I feel.
I don't think child support replaces the parent either. I just think some women think the men should pay child support, because they are the parent, but then they don't allow him to do any of parenting or make any decisions that a father should help with.

Are we also forgetting that she's an actress and has a lot of money probably. I doubt she'll even ask for child support, but I'm sure he will offer to pay.

The thing is we don't know if they discussed last names or not. I personally think it should have been Bundchen...

Fuck YOU.. I live off my child support... EVERY FUCKING MONTH

My childrens father hasnt anything bad to say about it.. he knows I do not work... and furthermore all the childrens needs are met... he even knows I go out with girlfriends and whatnot.. treat myself to a dinner here and there..

who are you to say shit to anyone about how child support is used?

for further clarification:
the household is always covered.
there is never a need that hasnt been met.
there will never be a need that we dont tend to.

My kids happen to have about 6 parents raising them.
Everyone provides my children clothes, food, shelter, entertainment money, bank accounts for them to spend the way they want... (when there isnt someone around to hand them money, they each have ATMs that people deposit money into) Not one single person can say ... I provide... we ALL provide whatever is necessary for them.

^ damn, those are some lucky kids then! but i already knew that w/ a mother like you

Well my loser ex doesn't pay child support and never has and I have to work and scrape by but if I were to get child support it would go for what my child needed and not a night out on the town unless it was a night out for her.

I sense that this thread is about to get very very heated.

DeadDwarf · August 29th, 2007, 11:32 PM

Thanks for the congrats guys! I am posting a thread in Random Talk so I can show off my new baby.

As far as Bridget and Tom, she can name the baby whatever she wants, that is her right as the child's mother. Maybe she is bitter, but hopefully she isn't being vindictive and doesn't use the child as a pawn. She did give the baby his father's first and middle name so how bitter can she really be? That was a compromise on her part IMO. I probably wouldn't give the baby his last name either if I wasn't with him.

I'm pretty traditional, I took my husband's name and we gave my daughter his family name. It was very important to him to have our family to have one name and it was a honor to me to be part of it. But my mother hyphenated her name when she married my dad and I don't see anything wrong with that either. All of us children took our father's name though.

I saw this on Celebrity Baby Blog: Mood 'somber' after birth of John Moynahan, sources say:

Quote:

Mood 'somber' after birth of John Moynahan, sources say
By Missy, CBB Writer

Contrary to the cheerful statement issued yesterday with regard to the birth of her son John Edward Thomas Moynahan, 1-week today, sources close to new mom Bridget Moynahan and her ex-boyfriend Tom Brady say that Bridget's hospital suite in the hours and days after John's birth was anything but happy. According to US Weekly "the mood was very somber."

The cause of the strife? Depends on who you ask. Bridget, says one source, "is very bitter." Still, another source insists the actress "wants nothing to do with Tom." US Weekly tells us that that point was apparently driven home to the New England Patriots quarterback, who became visibly upset as he left the maternity ward at 9:45 p.m. last Wednesday. As Bridget's father made a telephone call in the waiting room he was overheard telling the person on the line that although Tom "fell in love with the baby" the estranged couple nonetheless "had trouble sorting things out."

The parents tried to give advice but it became grating. Tom was seen crying at one point because he didn't want to leave the baby and he knows it's going to be a tough situation.

Seconds an eyewitness,

I felt so bad for him because he was upset.

Despite any lingering sadness, Tom and girlfriend Gisele Bundchen were spotted out in Boston this afternoon after enjoying lunch.
Bridget, 36, and Tom, 30, announced their split in December; John is the first child for them both.

Well, I don't have separate accounts, one for my income, and one for my child support, so I can't say exactly who's dollars pay for what, but I will say that 95% of my income goes into raising my kids and about 30% of his does, so if I happen to have paid all the bills, grocery shopped, and gotten the kids everything they need before the day he pays his child support on, then you can bet your ass that I may end up buying my self something or whatever, as long as the kids are taken care of, it's no one's business what I or anyone else does with child support, as long as the kids are taken care of who are YOU or ANYONE to say what is right and what is wrong. I'm sure that everyone's situation is different, as well as how they handle it. I will say that my ex doesn't even pay enough for me to grocery shop for my two kids, and still gets to see them when ever he wants and is actively helping to raise them even if I have them 75% of the time. He doesn't give a shit what I do with his child support check as long as my kids have everything they need, he looks at it as paying me back for money I have already spent on them.

Also, she can name her baby whatever she wants to, how do we know that he isn't OK with it and helped her decide it.

Beeyotch · August 29th, 2007, 11:53 PM

Also, let me clarify that it's not all men I hate, but rather only a man who thinks it's okay to neglect the woman all through her pregnancy in favor of publicly running around with another woman and then all of a sudden wants to become a daddy in the delivery room or whenever else it's convenient.

I mean, if those aren't circumstances under which to be rightly bitter, I don't know what is. Honestly, I'd tell him to get the fuck out too, and he's lucky the baby even got his first name.

I just have a problem with women getting child support checks and then using the money on themselves and not their child. Yes, I speak very openly about this because I see this more often than not.

You are either a divorced man, or very naive. He left her! He went and put his dick in some other vagina. If he was a real man he would have come back and stayed with her to help raise their child. They may have both agreed to him not moving back and to the name change. Give it up and head back to 1950 where you belong

kchal · August 30th, 2007, 07:45 AM

Wow - went from celeb gossip to some serious hate in the thread.
Child support - as long as the kids needs are met I don't think you have to separate the money. It is one thing for an irresponsible parent to go and buy herself things and the child goes hungry - then I agree, but that is not a 'typical' case and you should not paint divorced parents w/the same brush.
As for people saying Tom should have gone back w/Bridgete after she got pregnant - I dont understand that at ALL - they broke up for a reason and a child is not going to change that - so better for them to marry and be miserable and then get divorced?

Nice mouth, you should really try to clean that up.

Nana, I am neither a divorce man or naive, I am just a woman that can make it on her own and don't have to live off something that's supposed to support a child. And what the hell...."if he was a real man he would have come back and stayed with her to help raise the child"...if that isn't some 1950's thinking I just don't know what is. And by the way, please quit being so rude. You always want to be so snappy.

I agree with this. I hate to see people get married just because they got pregnant. These marriages rarely work and the kids grow up blaming themselves. In this case it seems they had already broken up before they found out she was expecting. It seems that they are trying to be adults about this and both be there for their child. As a "role model" to young men I am thrilled to see him set that example - you don't bail out on your child! I personally feel he could have held off of starting a new relationship and being so public about it though until after the child was born. I can't say I would be as gracious as Bridgete. I don't think I would have allowed him at the birth and doubt I would have named the child after him.
