how has THIS not been discussed?

From (where else?) TB.

See 'Blended Families' as well.  I particularly like how the 15 year old mom to be was outraged by the OP being called A BABY.

It physically hurts to read the posts, be forewarned.

Re: how has THIS not been discussed?

  • All I can think to say is WTF?
  • BAHAHAHAHA That she posted on the Blended Families Board because she's white and her baby's father is Mexican-American.

  • Did you see this reply from the 15 year old?

    I think what she said was pretty rude. She called you a "BABY". I'm only 15 and some of the replies on your post really bothered me. It might be the fact that I'm young so I understand how you feel. Sorry that your boyfriend acts like that but congrats on getting your GED! :) 

    Really? At first i thought she was kidding about being 15....but then I realized probably not. 

    I wouldn't change a thing...it's all led me to you.
  • The 15 year old with the huge baby bump and the letter sweater scares me.

    O.k. this is funny - she posted somewhere else and when I looked at her picture, I thought "WOW - she looks like a baby!  SOOOO young".  Not having ANY clue she was 15....  Good grief.

  • Sweet mother of God.  I'm really blown away that all those posters are basically telling her to stay with the dbag, don't go to college, be content with her GED and to realize that "that's just the Mexican way".  And honey, it's totally ok that you don't understand what blended family means! 

    Ok,not all of those posters, but there are very few voices of reason in that thread.  Ugh.

    I also loved the person who said that college was a waste of money and that all the people she knows who are doing really well have no formal higher education.

    Okay honey... take a gamble that you'll have the same LUCK (because that's all it is) that this handful of people had.  Enjoy working at Duchess in the meantime... waiting for your risk to pay off.

  • I cannot get over her logic of blended families or the 15 year old.  I had DD at 19 and even then I knew I was considered a baby in terms of having a kid.

  • You know it won't end well when the pregnant 15 y.o. is giving advice to the pregnant 17 y.o. I'm sure she'll just follow her advice and the advice of Ms. No Paragraphs and play Real Housewives of Bumf*ck with that a$$shat.

    I lost it there. I got tunnel vision and could only imagine myself reaching through the computer to smash that one in the face. WTMF.

    Maybe she's using the same measure of financial success as the poster from 0-3 Months yesterday who had a long term payment plan on a $500 living room set? And she thinks that those hokie for-profit trade schools are "college" maybe?

    Also, yes, posting on Blended Families because the father is Mexican-American. Yes. That. Indifferent

  • It got DD'd *cry*
