Kids, Pregnancy and Family: Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on mine

Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on mine

Today, I told my family that I’m pregnant. My sister is upset and refuses to accept she’ll have to help with the baby. I’m a single mom going to college and living at home, and will need help. FML

Today, I announced my pregnancy to my parents, expecting them to be thrilled. Instead, they were furious. Apparently, being unmarried and on disability means I can't raise a baby. FML

Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML

Today, I announced my first pregnancy to my family. Not to be outdone, my sister immediately announced that she "might" be getting pregnant soon. My family ended up congratulating her instead, and asked me if I would plan the baby shower. FML

Today, my parents posted on Facebook that they were excited that my sister was pregnant and couldn't wait to be grandparents. Last week I told them that I, a 33-year-old happily married woman, was pregnant and they told me I was ruining my life and encouraged me to have an abortion. FML

Today, my siblings came home for the weekend. At dinner, my dad started complaining at how one of my siblings had gotten fired, one was failing college, and the other was gay. He went on to say I was 17 and already had a bright future. I'm pregnant. FML

Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML

Today, my parents are freaking at me because I just got my report and I failed my first year of college. They told me they have never been more disappointed in me. I have to tell them that I'm also pregnant. FML

Today, I told my daughter that she's going to be a big sister, because there is a baby growing in my tummy. She's been sobbing because I can't convince her that I didn't eat a baby. FML

Today, I announced my third pregnancy to my parents, thinking they’d be excited. Instead, they gave me 30 days to find a new place, saying they refuse to raise “any more of your children.” FML

Sounds like your problem and not your sister's problem.

Someone sounds like the spoiled, entitled child. This is not your parents child. This is not your sister's child. This is your child. This is your choice. I say that because it sounds like you chose to have sex. We're you raped I'd have a different view here. However, you chose to get laid and you chose to keep this child. None of the others did. It is not their responsibility. It's a big word for you, apparently, but you have to be a big girl and make a lot of big person decisions now. Those include how you (not your parents or siblings) will care for your child.

If you're already a single mom, in college, why did you initiate to have another child? If you can't avoid having sex, at least use contraceptives until you're in a situation where you're able to give the kids you're having an optimal life.

Why should your sister pay for your mistakes? Maybe if you asked nicely for her to help or offered her compensation for helping she wouldn't mind, but just expecting her to help when it your own **** up? Very entitled of you

you my dear are an entitled spoiled Karen in the making. I feel sorry for your family having to put up with you and especially for your child. learn some humility and stop having kids when you are obviously not ready.

Why would she need to accept anything? It's your child, not hers. Being a single mom doesn't entitle you to anything, I'm afraid. You may need to put college on hold while you attend to the responsibilities you now have. It sucks, but point blank, it isn't your sister's responsibility.

I mean, she's not wrong... sounds like the pregnancy was an accident, so YDI for not taking precautions. You made your bed, now you must lie in it. It's your responsibility to take care of your own kid. If you weren't prepared for one, you shouldn't have had sex. This is why we need to reinstate sex ed in schools.
