I was hanging out with MIL, and my BIL called in a panic and said that he thinks that he got a girl pregnant.
Guys, he's 18 and just started college. He's supposedly been having unprotected sex with this girl for 2 months because "he trusted she was taking care of it." I feel pretty scared for him if its true and also think he's SO STUPID. The girl sent him a snapchat of what looked like a positive pregnancy test. But BIL couldn't tell since its, you know, a snapchat and it was only on the screen for a few seconds.
FIL thinks it could be a silly prank on the girl's part. If so, I hope this teaches BIL to use some fucking protection.
Omg. I really really hope this is just a joke/prank that will teach him a lesson. To be honest, though, I can't see any reason why someone would joke about this...
Fingers crossed.
But OMG - this is further solidifying that if I ever have a boy I am teaching him to USE PROTECTION!!! And my DD is getting the talk earrrrrrly.
I can't decide if joking about a pregnancy is worse than telling someone about a pregnancy *on snapchat*.They are neck amd neck in the asshattery race. Ugh.

When I had "the talk" with DS, one thing I made sure to emphasize was to WRAP IT UP EVERY TIME! You can't leave something that life-changing to "I figured she'd take care of it." And, not only that, you need to protect yourself from STDs.
Well, did he call her? Or just run around panicking?
He ran around panicking. He was in hysterics last night, yelling that she "probably did this on purpose" and that "she's trying to trap me!"
I told him he's just at fault if he has been having sex without a condom and "trusting she'll take care of it." He's known her for two months. He also ran out to get plan B and I told him that at this point plan B is not going to do shit.
Normally I would think this was completely serious, but I'm hoping the snapchat is her playing some sort of weird joke to scare him
If it's any consolation, I had two guy friends who went through similar scares in college and neither girl was ever actually pregnant. I'm convinced that 18 y.o. hormones + college stress make people crazy. That's how I explain my first marriage, anyway.

True, I had a lot of irrational pregnancy scares in college, even though we were using BC and condoms.
I seriously thought BIL was smarter though and would use condoms. I know MIL did not shy away from the talk with him and bought him a big box of condoms before he left for college.
I remember when I was in high school, there was this girl who was kind of mean. She said she was pregnant and threw the positive stick in my friend's face in front of all of us (his friends and his MOM).
Turns out she wasn't pregnant at all. I don't know where she got the positive test from.
Didn't someone recently post that on a community site that someone was selling positive pregnancy tests?

Seriously. WTF?! If that is a joke, I hope he breaks up with her stat b/c that is sick. And telling someone about a life changing event over snapchat...well, not the person I would want to co-parent with.
WTAF? About two things: 1. That he was having unprotected sex like a total idiot. 2. That she snap chatted him to inform him of her pregnancy. And even if it's a joke, that's the stupidest joke EVAR.
He didn't attempt to contact her to see what was going on?
I'm sorry but these are two giant idiots. I work with that generation, they're not all this stupid.
I honestly don't know how much they've spoken after she sent the snapchat. I just remember MIL telling BIL to be supportive and "don't be an ass to her" w/ regards to him saying that she's trapping him.
Like I said before, I'm disappointed with BIL because I thought he'd be smarter. He's so not ready to be a parent and it sounds like she's not either.

I'm honestly surprised that so many people are surprised that an 18yo would tell someone she's been dating 2 months she was pregnant via snapchat. We're talking about a generation that does everything via text/snapchat/twitter. Face to face conversations are for the olds.

Trap him? LOLZ. Even at 18, I wouldn't want to trap this dude, he doesn't sound like the sharpest pencil in the box.
Aren't you getting married tomorrow? Are these clowns attending the wedding? I smell DRAAAAAMMMMAAAAA.
YERP
This week has been the week of absolute hell. I feel like there's a full moon. I was in the ER on Tuesday, FI's family had a family emergency happen (which I don't really want to get into) also on Tuesday and then MIL got that call from BIL last night.
BIL's fling (I don't know if I can call her a gf) wasn't invited. MIL said she's going to ignore everything non-wedding related until after the wedding. MIL is pretty awesome

He really is a sweet kid, but also tragically dumb it seems. I hope him talking about her trapping him is reactionary and not real
Yeah, I'm surprised he would call his parents before he knew for sure that this girl was pregnant. I'd be playing that shit close to the vest until I knew for sure. And if I were him, I'd also die of embarrassment if my SIL were weighing in on this.
And I suppose my old is showing, but I've never used Snapchat - is that a public thing? Did she post that for everyone to see?

No snapchat is a short video that is sent to another person's phone and is only a few seconds long.

I'm sorry, I know what I said was mean and it's your BIL. I was mostly being TIC, given his thought that Plan B might be a solution. I hope he's taking intro to biology this semester!
