Shepperd, relax man, you already said your piece. There's little to nothing else we can do.

it is not like I'm trying to change something, just speaking out loud, y'know

Good luck. My mom had my sister when she was 15. But my dad and my mother stayed together and have made it work. Not that is was easy... but I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers buddy.

You asked what was going through my head and that was my response.

idk maybe you read someone else's post because mine were
-world's greatest dad link
-is it yours
-i will buy the baby if you have second thoughts

or maybe i've been sleep-posting

Congrats man. I couldn't imagine doing it at 20, but if you've been with the girl for 5 years you've obviously had plenty of time to figure it out.

oh shit, I meant climbtree. Sorry for the confusion.

man you cannot compare raising a child in one circumstance to one other circumstance. it's TOTTALY DIFFERENT.

heh h eh hehe heeeeeeee
eeeh hhh what?

You can't compare raising a child at 15 to doing so at 20. That's completely different dude.

aren't you supposed to be somewhere with some internet girlfriend right now???


Also, vb I just wanted to ask...if its ok... I remember you saying something about your job being all "OMG CANT HANG OUT WITH KIDS ITS BAD", do they care you are going to be having a kid?

Haha, no, that's completely different. That 'can't hang out with kids' thing is meant for parties and illegal recreations. So if my friends who aren't 19 are going to be drinking, I can't be there. Meg is 19, and she's not a student of the school board any longer so it's not a problem.

Ahh ok, thats good to hear then, so yeah again lol grats.

Well I was kinda raising the point that if can be done at 15... it's that much "easier" to do it at 19. It was support.

I really don't understand how that happened either. Erave's post was PRETTY CLEAR. Also your previous comment about people criticizing VB was completely uncalled for.

Anyway I really don't think we should be using this topic to like DEBATE MORALITY OF YOUNG CHILD BIRTH.

So VB, are you planning on taking care of the kid while your girlfriend is in college? If not, are you planning on hiring someone to take care of it or what?

Well, assuming the baby doesn't come early she should be done for the summer by the time she does give birth, and I'll be off work around the same time. The course she took in University was only a year long, so she won't be going back in the fall. I think she plans on taking five or six months off to just recover and stuff. I can take maternity leave from work when it comes, and I think I will for a few months at least. Probably until October or November, at least, so she CAN take time and recover. She wants to go back to school to get a teaching degree in the fall (2009), so. By then it should be a year old and we can probably put it into daycare. (I'm not sure about the age requirements for that), but I heard there is some sort of daycare program at work so I will have to look into that.

you people are insane

I agree with bort here. I believe vaginal barrel is more than capable of raising a child. he's a pretty good guy from what I've seen of him on these forums, and he seems pretty responsible. he'll be a #1 dad for sure.

I believe he is a capable intelligent guy who will be able to take care of his child through good and bad times. it may not be easy for him at this age, and it would not be something I would do right now, but I think he can take care of it and do well.

its okay to reproduce(at least for most of us here)

I think the only reason he called it an it is because it is too early to tell what the gender will be
