So we've all had a number of pregnancy announcements that killed us, right. Well, this one today might just be the worst one yet. A FB announcement, but of course.
This friend has endo and a million other illness/disease/whatever thingies which has actually put her on disability, aka my tax money pays for her life. She met this guy a while ago already, and bought a house together very quickly. The house is tiny, and they actually can't even really afford that.
Anyways, she's on disability, but she seems to be scamming the system, because she can do all sorts of super fun stuff, but she's too disabled to work. Uhm... sure!
And now she's pregnant. She announced on FB, throught a drawing she made, with the added text: 'I had to alter our family portrait, guess why?' (she drew a little creature on her belly.)
I can't help but feel severely pissed off to know that my taxes are paying for her to have fun and do stuff and now even have a kid, while I sit here, not pregnant, no baby, nothing, but working my butt off and paying shitloads of taxes.
(I'll alter later as if anyone she knows would ever visit here, they'd recognize immediately, which would be sucky) update 4 hrs later, I already altered a bit!)
So what was the worst pregnancy announcement you've had as of late?
::hug:: Hmm the wrist by far was last year. We had always been told that H's younger brothers wife D couldn't have babies. Which is good as they need to get their shot together. Both have been on probation, H's brother was actually in jail for a time. Lived with her parents. He doesn't have a steady job and she doesn't bring in enough to support. Anyways we found out via Facebook. I about lost it. And when we went back for thanksgiving this past year baby was about a month old and I could barely tolerate bein around. It was really rough.

Hugs to you. A friend recently announced but is unsure of the father because option A and option B were less than a week apart. She is very young, unemployed and has spent the majority of her pregnancy thus far talking about dieting, working out and "being fat."
DH's cousin is by far the worst. She already has 5 kids, by 2 different dads. The first 2 kids do have a good relationship with their father, but the other 3 kids' father is a total deadbeat - she has a restraining order out against him, yet had sex with him again???
The kids are out of control, eat total crap, have no real guidance and live off government assistance (though she does work as a nurse, it's obviously not enough cash to support 5 children). Her mother helps raise them, is there all the time. Yet does her mother say to her "Hey, cousin, it's FUCKING TIME TO STOP HAVING KIDS YOU CAN'T SUPPORT?" No. She says nothing. Great parenting obviously is not generational.
Yeah, she just had a 6th. Even my MIL's reaction to this announcement was "WTF." Like seriously, WTF. Just so irresponsible.
Did I ever tell you guys about my teen-mom cousin, who conceived baby #2 from baby-daddy #2 while living (with the first kid) on the couch of new boyfriends parents. New boyfriend's parents had some not-so-well-trained pit bulls. That really didn't like a toddler wanting to pet them. so much win right there!
Yet everyone goes "ohhh, cousin, you're such an awesome mom."
Kid #1 has already been in a full arm cast because she let kid 1 who just learned to walk jump and paly on the super-high bed while she went in the bathroom to straighten her hair... "I really don't know how she could've fallen off that bed, I told her she shouldn't jump near the edge. She just should've listened" (kid was 14 months old at the time).
