I really dislike being a father

I am the father to a boy. I love him as a person but really don't care to be a father. I gave in to my ex wife and we had a child. We divorced and do the typical custody thing. I feel every weekend I have him as a burden. I HATE paying so much in child support. I 100% realize that I agreed to be his father. I just really don't like it. I'd really prefer a life without the burden of children. I wasn't really into being a parent but my ex wife wanted children and I gave it. Now, i feel I have a 18 year prison sentence.
