My sister is pregnant

Not open for further replies.
Mine too, pissed me off because my parents are gonna support it and the dad wants nothing to do with it. Way to make life harder for everyone.
 
Just a hunch, but it was probably so he could fornicate with their daughter.

They slept in separate rooms allegedly he was looking for work to move into his own place so he didn't have to commute from the countryside where he lived, he no longer lives with my family as the bossman of my dads church stuff said the guy can't live with them if they ain't married
 
Is it because you're imagining your sister getting a nut busted inside her? Cause that's what happened.

Do your parents want them to get married or do they hate the guy?
Dude they were arranging the god damn marriage so that they'd be hooked before she even had the damn baby, I spoke up and said that's dumb as shit and my dad's a vicar and he went to his superior and even the dude above him said that my sister and her fella are too young and aren't ready

they aren't getting married just to clarify

I like OPs like these. He's ON THE BALL, nothing in this thread escapes his attention.

I don't know why it is annoying you, but I recommend you try to stop letting it bother you. It isn't going to end for years and years.

And there is nothing wrong with a facebook for the baby, in fact we did that for ours, specifically so if family wanted to see photos of the baby they could, and my friends that don't care about babies(like you) can block the photos. It's perfect!
 
She's 18, it wasn't planned and now she's finally announced it on facebook and has continued to...for the last fortnight... everyday, and if it's not her it's one of her friends tagging her in another status with something such as "hurry up and have your baby please!!! this gal is too excited!!"

Why does this annoy me so much

Because outside of a few positives, Facebook is awful.

Isn't a baby out of wedlock usually seen as wore than a divorce? I'm not super familiar with Evangelical culture, I'm sorry.
 
In all honesty, you should sit down with your sister and convince her to abort.

My sister got pregnant unexpectedly and it ruined her life. Any chance she had at upward mobility is shot. She stigmatized.

Not only that, but she has to sacrifice educational opportunities in order to provide for her son. She has three jobs, none fo them good and she's always exhausted. She never gets to spend time with her kid, and he's growing up poorly because of that.

And as a single mother, she only has access to the most loserish sorts of dudes so dating prospects are pretty slim
 
You disapprove of her life decision, and the fact that she talks about it nonstop daily as if it defines her aggravates things further.

Reminds me when my brother decided to grow out his hair. It would bother me to no end that he wouldn't pick it out every morning. Shit looked ridiculous.
 
I don't actually know any young devout Christians any more. But the ones I've known in the past basically defined themselves by no sex before marriage.

Right, but they are getting married. They have to.

It fits exactly in the trend of red vs blue families. With progressives, people make families; with conservatives, families make people.

You see much more young conservative Christians getting knocked up than, say, college-educated Democrats. They just start way younger, it's part of their training.
 
Well this is a sad story that I wish I hadn't read
She's almost halfway through the pregnancy now, it's too late for that

Fuck knows, they pick and choose whatever the hell they want to follow

Sure, but she hasn't even shat it out yet, nor' will she for another 4 or 5 months

I think this might just be the winner here, christ I wish I could delete the bastard thing, but how else will I be able to stalk my Ex's?

It annoys you for good reasons.
Having a child at the age of 18, unplanned, is pretty irresponsible unless she is a millionaire.
tru dat
 
This sounds like an oxymoron.

Seriously I think kids are starting to care for religion less and less.

Not to spoil your little assumption, but I've been a devout Christian since I was a teenager and I'm a virgin holding out for marriage, and I'm about to turn 23, so yeah.

Anyway, I can't contain all the laughs from this thread.

I live in the UK. From the OP's use of 'fortnight' I'm guessing he does too?
 
If you're upset with your sister then posting on a forum won't help. There is only one way to resolve a situation like this.

Remember to dry clean your formal tracksuit; don't wanna look like scum on TV.

On topic though, her age has nothing to do with it. I'm 33 and my Facebook feed is constantly clogged up with pregnancies and babies from friends my age. I predict that she will change her profile pic to an ultrasound image after the first scan. Lots of 'baby bump' selfies and detailed reports of every purchase of baby clothes/prams/high chairs etc. It won't get any better after it's born either. She's a mother now and that will become her entire identity. She will patronisingly scoff whenever someone mentions free time or disposable income, post a hundred photos of every insignificant event and act like no one could possibly know how hard her life is.

Good luck Tash, it's the only thing you will hear about until it grows up and leaves for uni.

In my experience, the only way to have fun with other peoples kids it to feed them handfuls of Haribo, promise them a puppy and then leave the parents to handle it.

I'm sure your brother's hair came with the possibility of ruining the rest of his life.

I think the problem here is the positive reactions to a possibly horrible life changing event. Sure, people can love kids all they want, but at 18? Your future is shot unless your family is wealthy (and cares enough) to help you through it.

"HURRY UP AND HAVE BABY" isn't exactly the correct reaction to this.
 
They talked about making a facebook fan page for it, god damn

I want to but I think it'd probably upset her, I live 150 miles away and it's how we communicate
I think you can block seeing her entries pop up in your timeline. Of course not the best solution if she also makes other important announcements that way.
 
because the first five words in your post

Pretty much nailed it. Happened to my niece (16 yrs old) and I was like wtf for the whole pregnancy. While the baby is a cutie pie, I'm still disappointed because it has really changed her career path (left school) for the short term but I'm hoping she finds a way to be a great mom and still fufill her dreams to some extent.
 
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not getting a "I should give this guy advice on whether his sister needs an abortion!" vibe from the original post.

Obviously a lie, I see no BritGAF application form from you

This was what I needed, this is what I face, this thread has confirmed my fears
Stay classy, OP. LOL

I'm an alpha, what can I say
 
I do not have the balls to post this, the jeremy kyle "be a guest link" worked a fucking treat though

Well I live away from home so it's the only way I can keep up to-date with my family stuff apart from ringing them up constantly(and who wants to do that? srsly)and it's sprawled across my friends, family friends and immidiate familys post, if I hide one I have to hide them all and then if one of my friends (who I can stand) comments,shares or likes on that shit, IT'S FUCKING BACK

finally an OP who responds. How refreshing.
You're welcome.
You ain't see that hot mess, bro.
lol

This pretty much, they say it can be the making of people but I just think she is going to struggle whilst also dragging my already struggling family into more heaps of debt and suffering.

I'm sorry.
A bit late for that one
Check again.
My my, it appears I messed up the paperwork! Many apologies Sir/Lady Sneds
Anyone excited to have a child at 18 years old is an idiot unless they just sold their company or some invention for millions of dollars.
I'm pretty sure she might think 'likes' are a currency

Alright you sound like a pretty unpleasant person, so I am not really surprised nor interested anymore.
