Yep. They are scummy to not want to support their kids. My ex also lies about work, where he works, etc. etc. Every time I bring it up he says stuff like yours does. One of his favorite lines is maybe my (bf) will support the kids. I then tell him that he made the kids, he will support them. Par for the course behavior of men who won't stand up and be men.
