then...
he says, "im gonna be a daddy."
WHAT? WHAT?????
ok, this is too weird for me. we used to date, or something like that, and we still keep in touch, but what??? um. you idiot. you got your ex pregnant, because you didn't use a condom, and she said she was on the pill. ok. you are only 21. good luck with that.
i want to be supportive, but i was almost in tears. he is just going to become a stereotype, and end up having to drop out of school to support this baby, for his crazy gf, who he isn't even in love with. it just seems shitty.
how sad. im so glad im not preg. if i was, i would say, "bye,bye, baby!"
seriously, i am not in the right place for chlid rearing. not for at least three years, no way.
anyway, now i don't know if i should see him when i come this week, it would be weird. why do people have to go and do stupid shit???
on the upside, (e:hodown) and i are planning to go on a vaca this spring. i wanna go someplace super fun, and super not in this country! because, now that i work like a mofo, i can afford trips. woot.
also good news, i see the (e:peeps) so soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sigh... jason....
(and that's all I will say on that)
Thank god for the pill is all I can say, since guys piss and moan so much when you ask them to wear a condom.
[see, I can make sweeping generalizations too- ha!]
(just teasing, j.)
I think it depends on the person. One of my best friends from back home got a girl preg at 19. Never ever trust her when she says she's on the pill, especially when she's desperate to keep you (not that I know what that's like).
Anyway, he stayed in school (in Buffalo), and he was my roommate one year. He had to stay in contact with his pregnant girlfriend, and eventually his baby, long distance, and with weekend trips back to Jamestown. Now, they're married, have more kids, and are doing pretty well for themselves.
So it depends on the person, and whether or not they believe in rolling with the punches, versus hitting the easy button. In general you're right, it's not a recipe for success. Also, some people are not really fit to be parents, regardless of their age. I know plenty of 20-something chicks who I think would be appalling mothers.
does it begin with A or S? I can't wait to see you either...
who si this baby daddy? CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!
