How much would your life change if....

You find out today from your GF, last girl you were involved with, whatever, that she's pregnant (guys)

You find out today you're pregnant (girls)

How much would your life change? What would you have to give up or how would you adjust to something like that?

For me I think if I leave a girl pregnant my parents would probably be pissed, I would probably have to get a job at night to be able to go to college in the morning either that or I would be force to study even harder to finish my carreer as soon as possible. I would have to marry that girl and either agree to live in our separate places (if parents agree) or we would be kicked out from our house and would have to look for a sh*tty place to live.

I would probably take a little longer to graduate, I wouldn't be able to spend things on me after I get a job I'd be forced to buy a house a car, start thinking on that kid's educaction, food, clothes pretty much all my life goals would have to be put on standby or cancelled completely. The first few years would probably be though but after a while things economically would look better. All in all I'm not ready for that kind of responsibility.

How about you?

My hopes and dreams would be ruined, I'd probably get someone to push her down some stairs. Though to be honest I wouldn't get involved with a chick who wouldn't get an abortion.

Id be confused as fvck, as ive never had a GF.

I'd be broker than I am now after paying for the abortion.

Aww, thought the question would be something outside or reality.

I'll have some margaritas waiting for you.

though if i were in this situation, id definately be able to handle it.

i basically raised my sisters daughter from birth.

my niece has been living with us pretty much her whole life(she is 4 now). id say there was a window of 3 months, where she was with my sister in Florida. other than that, shes been living with us, and ive been taking care of her.

its really not that bad, nor that hard.

sure you have to change diapers and stuff but thats really not hard.

then when they get older, and try to form words and sentences, is just great. the things they say/try to say, are awesome.

my niece is an absolute joy to have around the house.

right now, she is sitting on the floor playing with her new Cinderella toy castle thing she got today. shes talking to herself and such. quite humorous.

a lot, I suppose.

raising a human is a burden that is too far often trivialized.

Even if you do spend most of your day with her, you're not really out busting your a** to make sure she has clothes and food if your parents are paying for everything for her.XilePrincess

Gotta agree on this, it's one thing to babysit and another to provide for the kid

This topic just prove that if you aren't ready to have a child, you should either keep it in your pants, or wrap it up before you slap it up.

I'm scared enough about being a dad, and I'm married and my wife is 7 months pregnant.

Gay, so that wouldn't happen.

I'd be very, very confused, as that would be impossible.

But hypothetically, I'd work on getting a steadier job and give up on going back to school. I wouldn't think of it as giving up my dream, but rather replacing and old dream with a new dream. I'd get a cheaper two bedroom apartment. Luckily I know my parents, and various other family members, would support a hypothetical child of mine, even if they would never speak to me again and would constantly send the baby clothing and diapers and the like, which they do for their other grandchildren and would help me out a lot. And I have so many family members that I could negotiate babysitting agreements with several of them to help. I'd kind of actually be happy. Though it would be a selfish kind of happy, because I'm not prepared at this time to be a parent.

Are you not still a teenager living with your parents? You say 'us' so I assume you're either a teen or just not able to provide for yourself financially, which means you're also not providing for the child. I seem to recall you saying you babysit for your parents instead of having a job? Maybe that was somebody else. That's what you're missing here, it's all fine and dandy to not mind changing diapers and feeding her and playing with her, but providing for a kid financially is the strain. We're all able to give love, love is free. But the hard part is being able to make ends meet to give the kid everything they need. You're pretty much playing big brother to her, you're not putting food in her mouth or a roof over her head, you're doing all the 'easy' and 'fun' stuff and that's not what being a parent is about. You're giving it a pop-culture teen pregnancy gloss-over, even if you do spend most of your day with her, you're not really out busting your a** to make sure she has clothes and food if your parents are paying for everything for her.XilePrincess

correct, though im 21.

yea i didnt really think about supporting her on my own. slipped my mind:P

yea, i imagine it would be difficult, and would change my life quite tremendously.

probly need to get a job, maybe two and such.

That someone would be getting a well placed Falcon Punch from me.

thanks.

i do care for her.

my parents are working on getting custody over her, as my sister is not fit to raise her, but thinks she is.

Would not give a fvck. The girl I was last with isn't my problem anymore.

EDIT: Actually, her boyfriend may get mad, oh well. A bunch of words will probably get said, that's about it.

i'd change my number and address as soon as i could. :)

If you like to do the grownup stuff then you should be prepared to take on grownup responsibilities as well.

If that happened to me, my folks would've been pissed. But, they'd probably still support me, providing shelter and putting me through college. Knowing them, I'd probably have to marry the girl and and she moving in with me at home. Forget things like video games, spring break, or parties. Every free moment I have will be spent supporting the wife n baby.

Supporting a child doesn't require any work; it's called child support. It's sooo easy to simply mail a check.Fightingfan

Persuade them into having an abortion. I am never going to have kids

Whats a girl?

"Do I know you?"

so I'd be like the Virgin Mary?Allicrombie

he said a Joseph not a God, as Joseph was stuck with raising the messiah.

I'd kiss uni goodbye and be the ice cream man the rest of my life most likely.

if it were a past girlfriend i'd need a paternity test, that is... unless it's been years, and if it's that case. did she like save my semen?!!! :lol:

k..ew.

seriously though. :|

it'd be a big change, but i'm done with college, just been looking for work in my field, but if i had to i could do it i think. it's just going to be a big change.

I believe and live by the phrase "the moment your child is born, at that very moment. your life as you knew it is over, it's all about them after that".

Meh, I don't think it would change my life TOO much. Knowing some of the women I've dated in the past, they would probably try to take me to the bank, but that's life, everyone trying to get theirs.
