Deadbeat

A biological parent who willfully opts not to be an active participant in caring for their child, though oftentimes expresses negative emotions and/or words to the active parent or even the child for allowing a relative or the child’s step-parent to actively parent that child in their intentional absence. Although the biological parent may provide child support funds, they are typically insufficient; most often court-mandated; and retrieved through involuntary, automatic garnishments. An individual that fits this description, more oftentimes than not, has fathered or birthed multiple children by multiple individuals and, generally, neglect all said children at some point during or all of their adolescence...though expect that they themselves will be afforded the benefit of receiving those neglected children’s love and respect as if they earned the designation of mother or father when their flawed version of parenting is convenient for them. In summation, an individual who views himself or herself as the most important person in their life, who has opted to utilize the other parent to fulfill their own obsession with procreation without regard for the other parent’s or the child’s well-being at any point from the time of conception through the end of their own life.
It’s quite odd that a legal adult be trusted to mentor others’ children provided they are, themselves, a deadbeat.

There are conferences and seminars that teach financial independence, although someone should teach, ‘What it takes to identify a deadbeat before becoming their victim?’

The Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Keiser University is a deadbeat.

Oftentimes, deadbeats are manipulative, emotional predators who lack both self-awareness and empathy, as well as any sense of accountability or an obligation to act with integrity. From their perspective, they have the ultimate right to use and mistreat their targets as they please given those targeted are simply a means to an end which benefits them. Ends come in the form of material gifts, money, a nicer place to live either free or much cheaper than what they can provide for themselves, and the greatest prize of all: more offspring to purposefully neglect.

Deadbeat Dad

A man who has no respect for his pregnant (ex) partner, and who, after the child is born, decides to sit on his mountain of cash and assets while the mother and their child live in poverty. He is able to continue with his life as normal (ie dating, going out to the bars, finishing a college degree) while the mother had to give up everything including her college degree because she can't support the child all alone. The deadbeat cares not for anyone but himself, does not want to see his child, believes himself to always be right in every situation, and has an overwhelming sense of self-entitlement. Regardless of his ability to support his child, if he decides he doesn't WANT to, then he's not going to.
Even though the father of my child makes a great living as an engineer, he would rather his child live in poverty with the mother and does not desire to see his child at all. What a deadbeat dad.

deadbeat buyer

The typical buyer on craigslist. Unlike ebay, there is no obligation to buy something on craigslist. A deadbeat buyer is a person that informs you that they want to look at or purchase your product on craigslist. They will get your address and arrange for a time to come buy or look at your item. In reality, they never show up or call you to inform you that they are no longer interested.
"A guy named Mark called to say he is on his way over now to pickup the TV I have listed on craigslist."

One hour later, after no call or email.

"Looks like Mark was just another deadbeat buyer on craigslist."

deadbeat husband

A man who calls himself a husband yet does not fulfill his obligations as one. Neglects his home, his duties as a provider, will not help with maintaining of finances and leaves the responsibilities of the future on his wife to shoulder alone. This man also has a habit of crediting himself for all of his wife's hardwork. He also has a habit of mentally abusing his wife and acting as the superior or authority in the household.
My husband decides when and where to communicate about our family needs. He decides when a conversation is over or he isn't the one winning. He is immature and often calls me horrible names in front of our child. He puts me down in front of his family and friends and blames me for his behavior. Then when all is said and done acts like nothing ever happened painting himself as a saint in front of everyone, and threatens to make my life miserable if I do not make him a happy man.
