I'm not surprised, she's had scares and miscarriages before. But this time she's actually happy about it. Which fine, I'm happy for her if
she's actually happy. But I mentioned how she'll really need to find a full time job now. And she said she won't be able to do full time if she has
a baby... and her boyfriend she's been with for 3 years (and is the Father, and this is his 3rd kid, all different moms) has a part time job at Walmart,
hers at Kroger. They both make around $8 an hour, not much more than the minimum wage. They don't even live together and broke up the last time they did
(it was in his Aunt's basement they shared a room). And he's still aspiring to be a metal guitarist(at 30).. but is a really bad player and no one will
tell him.. and this is all okay to bring a kid into.
If she had the means to bring the kid into the world, then fine, more power too her. And I'm glad she's happy about it and I think she's wanted a kid for awhile, as really, a companion. But she just can't afford it. And you know, I figured, she'd probably get some government assistance for all this, but now I've realized that she won't know how to apply for benefits, so.
I mean, I'm proud of her for holding her job down and everything, but she's more concerned with hanging out with the gang than getting a full time job. She still lives at her Moms and will be 23 in Jan, though her brother is like 40 and still lives there...
Ugh.. I want to talk some sense into her, but its not my place, so JJB, you get my rant.
