So You Want to Get Pregnant

Did you know that two thirds of the
inmates in prison are from single moms?
Did you know that poverty for both the
mother and the child is dramatically
higher when babies are born outside of
marriage? Sexual and physical abuse is
much more common for children of unmarried
mothers. You will end up married to a
government check, rather than a working
husband. What about the morality of
living off of money that has been forcibly
confiscated from somebody else's paycheck,
to pay for the medicaid, afdc, wic, and
all the other welfare programs that will
be supporting you? If you respect
yourself, and want a child that will not
have all the problems that I mentioned,
then wait for marriage. Are you not a
daughter of god, worthy of a man who is
willing to wait for you?

Just Maybe.....

I say hold on ladies....Just maybe this
young lady is able to care for herself and
another human being. Let's see maybe her
part-time job ( I say part time because
the law will only allow her to work 20
hours max weekly) will pay for their first
year which will cost about $11,000. If
you go to work, childcare can cost as much
as $3,000 to $4,500 in her baby's first
year. Clothing and shoes may cost about
$600. A stroller, changing table, crib,
car seat, etc. Cost considerably more:
between $2,000 and $6,000. Even diapers
are a major item. By the time your baby
is toilet trained, you'll have spent at
least $1,600 on diapers. So just maybe
she can handle all of that. These figures
don't include health costs and medicine.
This all in the first year! At 15,
anything is possible. She can get 2 jobs
that equal to 40 hours a week. Maybe a
job at mcdonalds and burger king because I
am sure she will need a high school
diploma for any other job. Let's talk
about that. She is probably still capable
of going to school full time and work 2
part time jobs and take care of her baby
and make sure she is healthy so she can
care for herself. She can do this for at
the least 15 years. She can handle having
no social life at 16 because she has a
baby. She can also handle not going to
her prom's because she she had no extra
money to pay for a dress and all the extra
pretties that goes along with prom night.
Not to mention she won't have to worry
about guys not wanting her because she has
a baby because her babies daddy will be
around forever. So just maybe we should
stop being so cynical, she can handle
it.
P.S. Sarcasm is great

Hun, having a baby is about a lot more
then just wanting one.
You need to step back and think about
what's best for your potential child, not
just what you want.
Can you honestly give your child
everything that it deserves?
Maybe you'll get by financially. Maybe
you'll find ways around the big things.
Maybe you'll recieve a lot of the things
you need as gifts. Maybe you'll find some
great deals. But eventually the finances
catch up to everyone. We all have bills
to pay and unexpected expenses. At 15 I
couldn't even pay for a sweatshirt on my
own, let alone $200 on diapers alone every
month. Don't you want to be able to save
for the future? For your child to have
money to go to college one day? You won't
be able to at 15. Every penny will go to
your child.
Your child needs a mother to bond with.
At 15, I strongly doubt you have enough
money to be a full time stay-at-home mom.
You have school to complete and may very
well need to work as well. That means
that you will likely not get home until
late in the evening at which point you
will be exhausted and cranky. When do you
plan to bond with your baby? Play with
them? Teach them? If all you have the
energy to do is stuff some food in them
and put them to bed so you can get up 6
times during the night and still be up and
starting the day at 6 am again?
Your child also needs to socialize. You
will move on from your old friends. They
can't relate to you and aren't interested
in babies. You have to take it upon
yourself to give your child a good social
life. That means getting off your butt
and over any anxiety or embarassment you
have and going out to groups and finding
other young parents. It's very difficult.
Everything becomes incredibly difficult.
It takes at least an hour to get ready to
go anywhere and wherever you go, you have
a stroller, diaper bag and the baby. As a
non-driver, I can tell you that it can be
miserable taking the bus with a baby. I
live two blocks from the grocery store but
it still seems to take me about two hours
just to pick up a few items.
You stop being able to go to the movies.
Going to the malls are a pain in the ass,
you can't afford anything there anyway.
Yes, people stare and people can be rude.
I've watched the jobs of my dreams pass me
by because I can't work, I have to stay
home with my son. I've watched my friends
graduate ahead of me because I had to
leave school to stay home with the baby.
They go to the schools I want to go to and
I can't. They go out and party and while
I don't miss that world, I had a lot more
years to experience it then you. At 15, I
was just getting in to it. I think I
would regret it to have that taken away.
You learn so much and yes, you go through
bad experiences but those shape you as a
person in a lot of ways that you need. I
feel that i'll be a better parent for my
experiences in the drug/party world. If
you've never even experienced it, how do
you expect to talk to your 15 year old
about it later on down the line?
All that said, are you really ready?

wait a minute...I am a single mother.
This really offended me. Please think
about what area in the forums you are
posting at and that a majority of mothers
here may be single....Just because I use
medicaid to pay for my childs healthcare,
I use wic to buy her formula..And get food
assistance does not make me or anyone any
less of a person. Maybe..I just need a
little help..To push me through while I go
to school and get a job that will be able
to pay for these things at a later date.

I agree with sweetbabyrae.....This
offended me also. I happen to be on
medicaid and wic for my pregnancy. There
is nothing wrong with needing a little bit
of help every once in a while. Morals
have nothing to do with it. Oh and by the
way, I do have a soon-to-be husband that
goes to college full time, so it's not
only the single mothers that need help.
The money that you say is "forcibly
confiscated" from other people's paychecks
also comes out of mine. So if you would,
please quit your yapping and go somewhere
else with your "holier than thou"
attitude. You are not better then anyone
here so don't feel like you are.

No one said you have to be single to use
medicaid or wic did they? I am a married
woman and we are barely going to afford
formula for baby. I personally do not
qualify for wic. Even making $50,000 a
year raising a baby is hard.
