The fact you want to assume what his friends are like just because the op fucked up is ridiculous.

We're assuming his friends are retarded because they're all saying "Do it man, bitches love confidence!"

I mean in regards to buying a fucking toaster at a baby shower.

[Greatguardian]

So basically, you've never been to a baby shower, and don't understand that it's about the women there not the poor men that got caught into it. And no woman in their right mind gives a preggo a toaster at a baby shower.

...

The fact you want to assume what his friends are like just because the op fucked up is ridiculous.

Archi already caught it, but yes, I'm assuming the OP's friends are fucking morons because they're cheering the guy on telling him he can get tons of help from the government and can totally support a child on his own. That's fucking moronic. Obviously I did leave out his girlfriend's friends, because I don't know jack about them. For all either of us know, there won't be anyone coming from her side. It could be. Or she could have tons of friends who are financially stable enough to give her a total of 4 *years* worth of baby clothes. I don't know. You don't know. Is it possible? Sure. Doesn't really change all that much in the long run.

Big Picture: OP is completely incapable of dealing with both the financial and emotional costs of having a child. I don't care how many presents he gets in his baby shower, and if you had bothered to read any of my posts you'd have seen that I pointed out quite clearly that Money wouldn't solve a damn thing for him either. He could win the fucking lottery and still wouldn't be in any position at all to raise a child. Kids can't raise kids.

Edit: Oh god, the toaster was a joke. If that's seriously what you're basing your entire post on (since you clearly didn't read the rest of what I wrote), fucking good job, lol.

Which is exactly why I think you're being stupid for assuming in the first place.

You're right in that we don't know, but as I said I have yet to meet a woman who didn't get a fuckton of baby clothes. And I think it's silly to assume one way which probably isn't the norm just to make your post sound better.


And I read the rest of your post, it was the fact you only keep wanting to talk about his friends but ignoring both family and her friends that made me not bother with it. You just want to skew it to make it sound like everything is bad. I'm just saying it's not as bad as some want to make it out to be.

Sort of unrelated point but

Do you still play XI? Sell your relic'ed character and pay for the abortion, then use your free time to get a job!

God I'm good at this.

Guys, can't you read his sig? He's retired at 20-something from the only job he was ever good at.

Her friends *Could* give awesome gifts and support. His family *Might* give awesome gifts and support. But this is the life of a child we're talking about. The OP's life has enough If's and Maybe's in it. You can't rely on everyone else as your backup plan. Getting help from people is great. My family and my girlfriend are both supportive of me, too. But you can't plan for the best and hope for the impossible with something this serious. It's a god damn child.

You can't go into something this serious and life changing while relying on your parents or your family to be able to make basic ends meet. Help is nice. Help is wonderful. Gifts would sure go a long way towards making child-caring easier. But if he's completely incapable of raising the child without help, then he's incapable of properly raising a child period. Would you adopt a puppy if you couldn't afford to get it shots without asking mom and pop for money? What about vet visits? Toys? Going to ask mom or dad for that too? Eventually they'll stop giving you money for it, and then you'll be dipping into Animal Cruelty territory. Extrapolate that puppy into a child and it's a lot fucking worse.

I'm glad I don't pay taxes, or I'd be pissed at this thread.

[Titanss]

Dude 1st off don't marry your gf. Let her have that bastard baby and get into government housing for free. Then you move in (they never check that shit). Fuck the job. You and her can both apply for food stamps. She'll get around 500$ a month (because of the kid and shit) and you'll get around 200$. Fuck food. Sell that food stamp card as fast as they put that shit on there at the 1st of the month. Get high. Oh ya I forgot they will send your girl a check for utilities and shit she can apply for that (like 80$ a month). Fuck utilities. Cash that mother fucker and rock out with your cock out. Sounds like you on your way to livin life playa.

Who gives a fucking shit? Unless the baby shower comes with a 2 year supply of baby food, diapers, and everything else, why the fuck would it matter if her friends MAYBE give them clothes, or their parents, etc. While they would support me if it came to it, I don't think my parents would be pleased AT ALL if I knocked a girl up with no job and the kind of mentality the OP has shown by thinking mooching from the government is an actual option. He is not ready, and should abort the kid for everyones sake, the child included. BUT OMG WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT HER FRIENDS OR PARENTS, MAYBE THEY WILL GIVE HER STUF TO HELP OUT CAUSE OMG.

He isn't going to make a miraculous life change here, that's like telling someone whose fat that they can lose weight instantly. It's something he has to do over time. Get a real stable job that could actually support a family, a girlfriend who won't sleep more than the baby, apparently he needs to also associate with better friends who aren't morons. Even if their friends are well off and they get supplied EVERYTHING they'll need for a baby, I don't feel comfortable knowing a guy like the OP is having a kid cause that kid is gonna have a terrible childhood with parents like that.

[Ksandra]

Who gives a fucking shit?

Someone else stated it and I wanted to say the clothing part isn't as much of an issue as the food/diapers. I could in turn say who gives a shit if I point this out?

I think it'd be less likely that the op would listen to people who shout doom and gloom on everything. There is no reason that if the op didn't think right that the rest of the posters should either.

I'm legitimately confused. What?

which part confuses you?

[Maaglin]

Best answer.

[Greatguardian]

which part confuses you?

I'm really just not getting the last sentence at all. I understand your doom and gloom comment and I agree that I'm being harsh as hell, but nearly the entire first half of this thread consisted of people playing nice but instead of the OP looking at his situation and seeing that he wasn't capable of raising a child, he was actually empowered by people's job and insurance advice. OP should not be bringing a child into this world, and he needs to know that.

Your second sentence is a bit awkward too, but it's not super important? So it's not a big deal.

[Darkdreamer]

I like how at least half of the most angry responses to this thread completely forget that the entire purpose of this thread was finding a job to support this whole situation.

I don't talk in certain terms if I'm not 100% on something, and there's almost nothing I am certain on about anything right now, whether it be abortion, adoption, keeping it, what jobs I can get, how much aid I'll be getting from government or friends. It's just over 24 hours since I found out about this, how the fuck can I figure everything out right away?

How many people berating me actually have kids?

You've already said you can't find any job worth a damn, I read you're too lazy to actually put forth any effort.

You've stated your master plan to be living off parents/friends/Government. I think everyone can agree that plan makes you a worthless piece of shit that can't stand on his own two feet. Bringing a child into that setting makes you even more of an asshole.

How are you supposed to make these decisions so soon? You should have thought of that when you banging your girlfriend 5x a day with no protection. A lack of planning on your part won't constitute sympathy on our part.

Your plans, ideas, thoughts have all been torn apart and everyone is telling you in not so many nice words you're a dumb ass, don't listen to your own intuition or your friends, they're both borderline brain dead.

If you actually put a little bit of reading comprehension you learned in the 2nd grade you could read between all the berating and realize people are giving you actual solutions to your problem.

As for if any of us have kids. I can't and won't speak for everyone, I know a handful almost definitely do where as the others no doubt do not. I for one have 2 children ages 7 and 2.

I provide for them and I'm there for them whenever and wherever they need it. I have a good paying job where I don't have to live off of anyone's dime. I've been on my own since I was 17 and it took all of 2 brain cells to rub together that it would be an irresponsible decision to try and bring up a family with 0 ability to support them. I came from nothing, I ate my Government cheese, I rocked my food stamps, I learned the value of a dollar at a very young age and I've been working my ass off since I was 12 bringing in my own money. I refused to bring up a child in that kind of environment. Raising a child in that kind of environment is a recipe for the child to fail and fail miserably.

You are what's wrong with our country. You fuck up and expect everyone else to bail your lazy ass out. For people like you I wish it were illegal for you to ever have the ability to procreate.
