I have been doing a bit of work for a fella on his house that he just bought, and became pretty good friends with him. We shoot the shit a lot and discuss what's going on in our lives. He is separated with one 13-year-old girl with his ex. He told me the other day that his ex called Child Protective Services on him, saying that he physically abused her and a few other things (which I believe he didn't do).

Anyways CPS came over and he talked to them, and at the end of the conversation he asked them if they were going to go investigate his ex, as that is where all the problems are occurring: the girl is living with no structure, staying up as late as she wants, watching or listening to whatever she wants, being home alone constantly. All they said was their job was to investigate him and that was it.
He has been having this problem with the system for years, and because he is the father, not the mother, the system automatically shuns him. The system looks to favour the woman, and not even do a proper investigation on what is better for the child instead of, in their own words, "try to keep families together" even if that is doing more harm then good.

Everyone says that there shouldn't be any discrimination or sexism, but ever so sadly we see it in the public system still favouring women automatically and just disregarding the man as a "deadbeat" even when we just want what is best for our child physically, mentally and emotionally. When does the favouritism stop and a fair trial began? How can CPS just completely ignore the best interest of what they are there to do!!!

I'm noticing a trend among young women these days: A lot of ya'll are now talking with that annoying Kim Kardashian fake baby voice/vocal fry. It's extremely irksome and it makes you sound like a complete moron. Grow up and speak like the woman of age that you clearly are. You're aren't a teeny bopper or a valley girl or a baby, so stop talking like one. It ain't cute and it ain't cool. Same goes for the upspeak—aka ending every statement on a high-note. How can you expect anyone to respect your opinion or what you have to say if you sound like a total ditz? Back in my day, women prided themselves on being assertive, shrewd business women. These days millenials are all a bunch of cutesy insta-wannabe bubbleheads who can't even talk properly. You may think you sound hip, but people are actually laughing at how stupid you sound. Open your mouth and let the sound come out. You're a big girl now
