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.....
Posted: 12-14-05 21:15pm

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.
