Why? Why? WHY?

One of my student workers, a really great guy, knocked up his GF of 6 months.

On. Purpose.

They were TRYING. She is 18 and just out of high school.

He's going to propose to her soon. 

This is the same guy about 2 weeks ago who didn't know if he wanted to get married.

  • This angers me more than I can convey. Could be my bitterness for the day but yeah.

    Me too! I'm in a total "I-hate-stupid-people-especially-young-ones-who-get-knocked-up-easily" type mood, probably because I'm a Bitter Betty today. But yeah, 18 and TTC, so not a good combo. I sure as heck had no clue who I was at 18 or what I wanted, and it sounds like this kid has no clue either and has just made a really bad decision.

  • Oh dear.  I hate to say but guaranteed they are going to regret that decision in the future.  Babies do not make relationships better if they are already rocky!

  • I can't say too much being as young as I am, but wow... yeah, not a good idea

    BUT... you are in a long term committed relationship.

    Poor baby - I hope they have a good support network

    Ditto. I think the situation (6 months of dating+uncertainty regarding marriage) more than their ages makes me sad. I hope they can make things work for the sake of their baby!

    This just made me die laughing! I think it needs to be our official ::face palm:: picture. 

    Caitlyn, I agree with everyone else, the difference is while you are young, you are married and in a stable, committed relationship.  For me, the problem in this whole situation is it sounds like these kids' relationship is pretty unstable and now they're adding a baby into it, that compounded with being so young is going to make it difficult.
