Oh you KNOW I commented on the 2nd one. You know, I think it's dumb to have kids that young when you're still figuring out what your future is. But I can get over that. What I CAN'T get over is acting like a petulant teenager and kicking rocks about how your FI's parents wont just be blindly happy for you and how they're going to DARE to think you need a PLAN for this child!
I can't even imagine trying to conceive for a YEAR at that age without bothering to even start to put together some sort of plan or financial cushion.
Ha, I saw your comment when I was scrolling through the responses! I'm with you...I find it hard to believe they were trying for a year, first off, and second--how stupid to think you don't need any sort of plan! I could get past the age if they had a plan to graduate and financially handle a kid, but this whole indignant attitude she has towards her future in-laws makes me see red.
And it's not even about the degree. I know plenty of people do really well without a degree. It was the teenager-like attitude that her ILs were being big meanie pants for not just patting them on the back and telling them everything will be peachy keen.
WTF. I agree with her FI's parents. Apparently she expects the second she has a baby that things will be all puppies and rainbows... nevermind the fact that neither of them have degrees or good jobs (or even bothered to get married, I don't understand why people do that. Just go to the damned courthouse if you're that desperate to start a family), they're both young, and I bet neither of them is living on their own yet.
Ugh.
Edit: Y'know, I realize my thing about not being married sounds judgy. If you made the educated decision not to get married, that's totally your choice and I have no issue with it. This girl, sounds like she was just using the fiance as babymaking juice, though.
