Beyond Excuses: Why Some Parents Choose Self Over Their Children – Fashitsho The Podcast with DJ Kornbred
Podcast Intro Description:
In this eye-opening episode of Fashitsho The Podcast, DJ Kornbred goes deep into a topic that’s often avoided but incredibly important: why some parents choose to prioritize themselves over their children. This isn’t a conversation about judgment – it’s about understanding the complexities, the struggles, and the human side of parenthood that’s often glossed over.
DJ Kornbred, known for her unapologetic approach to life and music, opens up about the tough choices parents face when balancing self-care, dreams, and the responsibilities of raising children. In a world that demands so much from parents, Kornbred examines the emotional and societal pressures that lead some to make decisions that seem, on the surface, selfish. But are they really?
Through candid reflections, personal experiences, and tough conversations, Kornbred navigates the gray areas of parenting where self-care and personal ambition often collide with family needs. She explores how modern parenthood has evolved, how different factors — mental health, economic pressures, and personal goals — influence these choices, and what it means for those who may not fit the traditional mold of what a "good" parent should be.
Parental responsibility shouldn't be optional, yet somehow our society has normalized the concept of "deadbeat parents." Why? That's the burning question at the heart of this raw, unfiltered episode where I confront the reality of parents who choose to abandon their responsibilities toward their children.
The excuses are predictable: income disparity, relationship status, inconvenience. But children weren't asked to be brought into this world, and they deserve parents who step up regardless of circumstances. I explore the troubling phenomenon of adults who prioritize their social lives, personal comfort, and everything else above their own children's wellbeing.
Most disturbing are the lengths some parents go to avoid responsibility—having employers lie about employment status to dodge child support, making promises they never intend to keep, or simply disappearing for months or years at a time. This isn't just about money; it's about the psychological impact on children who grow up wondering why they weren't worth their parent's time, effort, or resources.
Child support gets a bad reputation, often because of misunderstandings about its purpose. I break down why it exists, when it's necessary, and why it shouldn't be seen as punishment but rather as ensuring children's basic needs are met. For parents carrying the entire burden alone, the stress, anxiety, and financial strain create ripple effects that impact everyone involved, especially the children.
What do you think about parents who neglect their responsibilities? Have you witnessed this in your own life? Share your thoughts and experiences, and let's continue this important conversation about what children deserve from the adults who brought them into this world.
