“A baby can travel..they do it all the time”. Really? In all my travels, I haven’t seen a baby traveling solo. Dad has the money. Dad wants to see baby. Dad travels. That one sentence tells me everything about HIS parenting, good guy or not. Even a good guy can lack parenting values.

Read the recent article in ESPN. Matt thinks he is still “a kid.” His mother pays his bills, no doubt from his money.

Sounds like it’s Mr. & Mrs. Leinart that hit the jackpot with their Peterpan manchild.

The fact that Brynn is nursing is not a good excuse for why Matt can only have Cole for 3 hours at a time. As a working mom, I can tell you that the breast pump is a wonderful invention.

First, Brynn is nursing Cole. This is why she can’t be separated from him for long. This is also why it appears she’s had a boob job.

Second, she is not trying to get even, she broke up with him and doesn’t want to get back together. The break up was long and painful for both of them. They did truly love each other and Cole is a miracle. Brynn would never get an abortion. She is a good mother and has her sons best interest in mind in all things.

Third, she is returning to school, on a scholarship. Living in a dorm with Cole is not an option. She needs a SECURE apartment in L.A. and that is not cheap. She also will need help to care for him and given the security issues surrounding children of celebrities, she must hire the best.

Last, she had always had excellent taste in clothes. Often she is in “work-out” attire because she is an athlete. She can take care of her own shopping habits just as she always has.

Has nobody thought of the legal bills that Brynn has to pay? Lawyers are not cheap and she should just be able to be a good mom. Brynn should not have to worry about Matt being plain vicious. She is a new mom for goodness sake. Leave her well alone!

I’m sorry but I have little pity for Matt.I find it sad that so many people are accusing the mother of being a gold digger.Not every woman who has baby after they break up is trying to fix the relationship.We need to get rid of that myth.Why are we as women so hard on each other?

Kelli – Matt didn’t buy his brother a car by the way. Matt was given a Tahoe from some promotional deal he did(forgot from where) and he gave it to his brother to use since his brother does a lot of traveling, being the manager of his foundation and all. Just wanted to make sure you are giving out accurate information.
As for buying his parents a new car, I would think that they deserve it after all they sacrificed to put him (and his brother) thru private school at Mater Dei.

In California child support is calculated based on the non-custodial parent’s income which is equal to 25% for one child and 30% for two + medical, etc.

If she is only getting 4% – that sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

If the 25% applies to everyone else it should apply to Matt as well. $30,000 sounds high to most normal people on this board, but most of those people dont share children with an NFL starting QB.

I am a single parent, I was widowed when my daughter was 6 months old, and I have raised my daughter alone for the past 6 years. I have not remarried and I do not date anyone. My daughter does get a small amount of money from SSI for survivors benefits but I have to work for insurance so I get nothing. You would think I of all people would be on “Brynn’s side”. Long story short,I’m not! I think Brynn is angry Matt didn’t come crawling back after Cole was born and now she wants revenge. He comments were loaded with daggars, it’s obvious. I think in her young mind she thought this baby would “save things” as far as their relationship went. It didn’t, and she’s mad.

WOW! to those of you defending Matt for seeing his child one day a week and giving Brynn a hard time. Do you have children? I am sure she has help, but she is a single mom. I have a husband that lives with me, changes our daughters diapers, helps to feed her, holds her when we go to dinner and she won’t sit in the high chair, hangs out with her when I want to go shopping and all of the other great things parents do. I am so lucky to have a wonderful full time father for my daughter. One day doesn’t even constitute a part time father in my book. I would hope he would visit more if they lived in the same city, but he has the money and the means available to see his child more often. 4% of his income and $30,000 a month is not too much. If you had more money to spend on your child, chances are, you would. I know we spend way more that 4% of our income on our child.
