I couldn't leave this one alone . . .

I'm not going to touch your comment about "she will become a lazy you   
know what" other than to say that I'd like to see you try to raise 4   
small children on your own with no help (and I'm not even talking   
financial here).  See how "lazy" you feel.  Jeez, what an ignorant   
comment.

Moving on . . .  So, you think $5000 per month is "plenty", huh?  That   
works out to about $1667 per child (3 of them are Greg's).  This seems   
acceptable to you for a father that is pulling in well over $2 million a   
year?  Get real.

Sure they could probably "survive" on that much, but we're not talking   
about survival here, we're talking about Minor's moral and legal   
obligations to provide for his children to the best of his ability.  If   
he is pulling in millions, his children deserve a chunk of it, whether he   
likes them or not.  A $30 toy for a birthday?!?  I would think a $30,000   
college fund would be a bit more appropriate . . .

I realize that $30,000 a month sounds like a lot, but it is really   
trivial when you look at his overall salary.  He fathered the children,   
and he is obligated to provide for them financially -- plain and simple.   
  Even if that causes his girlfriend to become "lazy."
