Why does any of this ever surprise Elizabeth anymore? John has always been a flake in the father department while shouting to the world how he devoted he is. Elizabeth has always been one to give credit where credit is due, so she will happily admit that he has remained a presence in her son's life ever since that one time where he decided not to see him for 4 months after failing a drug test (COCAINE!) and refused to see him under supervision. It was clear at that precise moment that John was only going to play by John's rules.
So fast forward 8 years from that incident. John outright REFUSES to pay child support unless the courts force it out of him. He will tell anyone (including his child) who will listen that Elizabeth takes all his money and that he doesn't need to buy school clothes/ pay fees at school/ invest in any of of the basic needs of the child because he only sees him part time. yep! Because he is not a full time parent, he gets to be let off the hook for all things financial. Oh, wait... it gets better. He then tries to convince his son that if he could (the kid) convince Elizabeth to let him half part time custody, then he would buy him school clothes. So, anyone who is not emotionally attached to this pond scum and has a brain can see that everything literally is about money to this piece of shit.
If he has their son 50% of the time, no child support would be owed by either party. Then, of course he would pay other things that Liz currently foots the bill for. Let us review the facts
Baby Daddy owed Liz $7000 in 2008, Liz settled for 1/2 that because she desperately needed to stay afloat after footing all bills.
In 2010, Liz settles once again for half of what is owed her in arrears. ($1500, out of $3000).
In 2012, Liz once again settles for half ($2000 out of $4000)
In 2014, she takes his sorry ass to court because she is tired of settling. She is bullied into taking $1000 off of the $6000 for child care payments he made. (This is fair, he did pay them and Liz has no problem admitting or crediting that. Her complaint lies in the fact that in 2008, she paid ALL the child care for a year and cut his support back due in half and he still thinks he deserves/needs credit! Where is her credit?)
He says that as long as he takes care of him in his home, that is all that matters, so the burden of anything extending beyond that, falls on Liz (school, etc.)
The real issue here is not even that any of this is happening, it is that John is telling their son Eric about it in the first place. The fact that he is only telling the lies that make him feel more manly make it 100 times worse. What kind of parent tells these bullshit lies to their children to try to force said child into bullying mom into changing things to benefit poor ol daddy? Who btw, lives high on the horse while mom struggles to make ends meet and has had to rely on government assistance from time to time to do the job John is supposed to be doing.
There is a special place in hell for Johnny boy.
Stay tuned for our next episode where John decides to tell his son that he was almost an abortion to turn Eric against Elizabeth ( "I saved your life. You wouldn't be here without me. She wanted to kill you.") Yes, this man will stoop that low. He has no qualms about breaking his child's heart to hurt Elizabeth.
