  • I know a girl who is 30 single and has no bf, no savings, does not come from $$ and works as a secretary. She got pregnant ( was desparate to do so). I think this is nuts. She does not want to be and old mom.

    • And so what? You expect her circumstances to remain the same? It is her choice and if you feel that badly start a college fund for her unborn child.

    • I think it's stupid. And I'm sure the taxpayer will pay for her choice in the end (but personal responsibility doesn't seem to matter these days.)

    • I agree it's nuts, and I'm sure she'll see how hard it is to raise a child single and without lots of money, but she'll also find the joy and love of raising a child, so it's her choice.

    • What is your problem with this? If you told me she didn't have a job, lived at home with her mother, and had a boyfriend in prison and got pregnant, I'd think she was nuts. But the above does no strike me as being so out there. And from my experience in hiring secretaries, a good secretary can always get work, even in a bad economy.

    • There may be a lot there you don't know...family support, a boyfriend who doesn't want to be a husband, but is going to be a great father, a good savings account which she doesn't discuss. She isn't a 17 year old high school drop out who got knocked up.

    • I agree with you, I've got a similar situation with someone I work with. I think she's just having a baby because she's lonely or wants attention.

    • I don't blame her! She's still young enough to get pregnant naturally. If she puts it off while she waits for the man of her dreams and a lucrative career, she'd probably have to pay a fortune for IV. And at least she's young enough to have the energy to juggle baby and job.

    • And if she waited until she was married, financially stable, but 40? She'd get flamed here, anyway.
