Ahahahahahahaha... Didn't realize we were out of pull-ups for my son until I had already gotten him settled for a nap so I made one by sticking pads to the inside of his undies...lol, that's something I will refrain from telling him when he's older. Still, good thinking on mom's part!
There are plenty of places in the UK where a woman who has her first kid at 21 is considered to be an older mother! I'm a fine one to talk though as I was only 18 and still at school when my oldest daughter was born and while I probably wasn't that mature initially I was fortunate that there were certain people who provided practical and emotional support, in particular a teacher who persuaded me to finish school after the birth and is still a close friend.
Good to hear you had/have support. I guess I shouldn't have said that because there are definitely young women that mature into mothers when they find out they're pregnant. Unfortunately, thats not the norm from what I've seen.
No need to apologise no offence taken. There's no getting away from the fact that all over the English-speaking world and elsewhere probably there are girls who seem determined to get knocked up and to hell with the consequences. My sister works in family support and not only do some girls mass produce for want of a better phrase without the means to support their kids but in many cases the grandmothers are in their early 30s or even younger. At only 2 I'm quite unproductive by comparison! Fuck me I'm sounding almost reactionary rather ironic when you think I'm not exactly a reactionary's favourite kind of person! And don't let the dad's off the hook either, they see it as a badge of honour fathering the child but when it comes to the nitty gritty of paying for the upkeep of the fruits of their loins then many of them don't want to know and I speak from experience. Yes girls do need to be responsible but there's no immaculate conception and it takes 2 to tango!
I don't even start until the 21st(around there) Like I said I doubt i'm pregnant. I took Plan B (2 days after) He pulled out well before hand. There's a chance tho.
Don't be mad at me when it is not my fault. Should you have used protection? Yes Or No? I wasn't kicking you. But that would make another unwanted pregnanacy.
Hey BFL thought I'd return to the subject matter instead of putting the world to rights over feckless parents! Every woman can relate to this one, mother nature's a bitch at times she sure has it in for me and can out stay her welcome, I just hope you're over the worst from when you wrote your first post, and unpleasant as it is, it is like you say a case of your body coping with it again. Stay strong x
That's my girl you tell him! You don't have to take shit like that, the purpose of these forums is advice and support not sermonising. My advice to you is the same as BFL's just take the test so you know either way. If it's the result you're dreading don't despair, there are plenty of others who've been there and come through,not just me. You'll come through it all a stronger person x
Thanks man but I haven't even had a missed period yet LOL. So it's not like i'm dreading taking a test. It's extremely unlikely that I am. But the small possibility is bringing me down. I dont even get a period until the 21st. So.. next monday, around there. (give or take a day or so) If I aunt flow doesn't roll on through. I'll definetly take a test.
I'm not mad at you because it's your fault. I'm mad at you because you're being an inconsiderate asshole. You think I need you to remind me that it's smart to use protection? You think i'm the only person in the world who was ever caught up in a moment? It happens to the best of us. Try to have some fucking empathy. Like I said it's severely unlikely. I took an emergency contraceptive. He pulled out well beforehand. The odds are in my favour. And whatever the circumstance will be, I really don't need some arrogant piece of shit who believes he's above it all, breathing down my neck until I get my period. "Well you should have got him to use a condom" Ya well, maybe your mother should have too.
Heeeeyyy wow... WF, don't sweat it babe, all will be ok. Like you said, you haven't missed it yet! Me on the other hand...still waiting. :/ irishbohemian----yeah, not pms-ing anymore...for the most part. I REFUSE to go buy a test until I'm at least a week late because I'm tired of spending money on the damn things just to have them turn up neg. Eh, oh well. As far as the "fathers" of these kids, yeah, it is ridiculous that they think it's cool or whatever. Dude...you're a freakin kid! I know I (and my mom for that matter) would be pissed if I had to raise my grandchild at barely even 30. I certainly got a brutal reality check when I had my son and I was 21! I thought I was grown, but sheesh, having a kid changes EVERYTHING! lol, don't get me wrong though, I'm thrilled everything turned out the way that it did, just can't imagine wanting to have that much responsibility thrown on you as a teen.
