I want you little girls to take a
realistic look at how much money it takes
to raise a child. Do any of you make this
much money in two years?

The annual amount for food seems a little
low considering I spent about 400$ a MONTH
when I lived off campus a year ago.

I thought the clothing bill was a little
low as well. Clothing is expensive.
What's sad is I think this is defined as
providing the bare minimum...I honestly
think most of the teens here make a
quarter of that or less because they have
no career (just a job).

Most of these teen mom wannabees don't
even think that far into it. They just
want a baby. Their friends have babies.
Their own mothers often times were teen
mothers.
Also, they think:
Isn't every family in America on welfare?
Isn't that how everyone lives?

futershock, this could be wrong but i
think a lot of it has to do with these
girls wanting somone to love and carefor
and someone who will do that for them too,
also its a way to keep a boyfriend around
in many minds
they want their own little dolls but they
are too old for the plastic kind so they
decide to go with the flesh and bone kind

IMO all of the totals are very low. If I
only spent $127 on groceries a month I
would have it made!

You might be on to something there. My
husband recently said the exact same thing
about the dolls.
As for having someone to love them
unconditionally, I wonder if they ever ask
themselves if they love their own parents
unconditionally? Where do they get the
idea that children will love them
unconditionally in the first place?
Babies need their parents, and demand
their parents' attention, etc., I
wouldn't call that unconditional love.
The babyhood ends very quickly, and then
they are toddlers getting into everything,
and trying to get away from their parents,
so they can get into even more mischief,
as well as danger.
