What are your views on this? I know a girl who is a wreck.(She's 24)She's the daughter of a friend who passed away. She's been arrested, does drugs, drinks like crazy and she just told me she's pg. I was ok and happy for her because I just assumed it was accidental and didn't want her to feel bad. I found out they were trying!! Why would someone try and get pg if you do not have a place to live yourself, you do drugs, you drink and party, you don't have a job or stable life. There is no future of anything. Even the father of this child is a dead beat. I don't even know what to say to her at this point. Why would you bring a child into this world if you can not take care of yourself? | ||

I'm not sure but it happens more and more. Seems people think just because you can get all kinds of help from the gov. that makes it OK

That's what I'm thinking Fallon. I would hope once they have the baby they get on track and realize "omg what did I do to this child" There really needs to be a cap on govt funding. Although, she lives in Alaska...I wonder if they have programs like that there. I don't think it's that easy. She has no idea how far along she is, can't afford a Dr. She is still drinking. | ||

The gov't help was my second thought. My first thought reading this was, does she think it will make her relationship better? She must not realize how hard its going to be to continue her lifestyle carrying a baby with her everywhere.

I think when you're are drinking and high a baby might sound good at the moment.....but I think they should have thought this one over one morning when they were both hung over. Set the alarm every two hours. I bet you anything this "guy" who she's known three months will realize he doesn't want to play house. | ||

Yeah that is usually what happens. But god knows you can't convinced her of that. She needs to realize that she made a mistake and own up to it. For some people having a baby makes you grow up, hopefully that is what it will do for her.

I feel sorry for the kid, and hope she comes to her senses soon, either by adoption or straightening her act up. I'll never understand why some women think having a baby will make things ok, or why they feel the need to use the government.

I hope so. I'm pretty sure she is still on probation. She seems to not be all there so I'm wondering if she'll get it once the baby is here. It's people that her that let anyone into their house, smoke around their newborns, get drunk, etc. I don't think I can talk "mommy" with her because we have totally different views. | ||

And talking "mommy" with someone who doesn't see it like you do or maybe in a sensible way, will only push them farther away.
