Nice try, dude

Don't pay it..?

I read his words in Redds voice from that 70's show.

awww I'm sorry sweetie :( but hey what does not kill us....

What a random number!

This is something I don't understand, why on earth would you ask you kid to pay you because you have brought up...... STUPIDITY never seizes to amaze me

Thats less then mine :/

I can control your mind see I made you read this

First of all, I would send him a request to see a legally binding contract where you agreed to pay him back any expenses related to raising you. Second, I would mention that it is a parent's legal obligation to provide for their children, thus if he wishes to bill anyone, his bill is misplaced and should be sent to the government, as they are the ones that required that he provide the support. Third, I would mention that your father willingly agreed to provide this support, without any conditions, by failing to properly use birth control or, alternatively, put you up for adoption. Finally, I would state that if he insists on perusing this frivolous claim, you will be more than happy to present a counter-claim to him for the costs of therapy required to compensate for his substandard parenting skills, alcoholism and general incompetence at child rearing. Of course, with Therapy costs running at several hundreds of dollars per hour (after all, any insurance you may have should not be expected to pick up any of the tab), it would probably take about 1-2 years of Therapy to completely wipe away that child-rearing bill.

It's no stretch to say you were not quite a father But a donor of seeds to a poor single mother That would raise us alone, we never saw the money That went down your throat through the hole in your belly

You didn't ask to be born so you don't owe a single cent

Tell him AA is free
