Are you married? Because if you're not, that explains why you're so mean. :( :(

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go get in the corner and take your cookies with you.:o :p

Maybe she's not married BECAUSE she is mean.;)

LOL. Yeah, that too.

ROFLMAO! That made my day.

I give props to any single mother. The fact that you chose life and decided to raise your child in the midst of opposition, I commend you for that. The fact that you can rise above your circumstances and determined to make something of yourself and raise your children I definitely commend you for that as well!

"He who is without sin let him cast the first stone...."
(since you want to quote the Bible)

I knew a guy who had a thing for pregnant women. I don't get it. On an episode of Nip/Tuck this guy works at a baby supplies store and he brags about how many pregnant woman he's been with. I just thought I'd add that twist into the thread now.

One of my best friends got pregnant during the summer between HS and college. This chick is from a Good Family, was class valedictorian, and excelled at EVERYTHING.

She decided to stay home and commute to school (instead of going out of state). She is hands-down THE BEST mother i know... her child is fabulously well adjusted, smart, articulate, and ADORABLE. This chick is on it: she is actively involved in the kids school & other activities (cub scouts, judo, etc), she just purchased her SECOND home, and is graduating with a Master's degree this weekend.


i agree with you, DSTinguished1. couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm not mean. Blunt...yes! Honest...Yes! Sassy...Yes! Bold...Yes! LOL

I just speak The Truth. Its capped because its what the Bible says. I know it hurts but thats because the Word is sharper than any two-edged sword. So it cuts and stabs, but in the end you will heal. I'm just saying that a lot people when having sex before marriage go through a lot of hurt and pain because of their sin.

In regards to you DSTinguished...im not throwing stones. I was raped at a young age and was force to have an abortion. I had sex with numerous of men before I was saved and guess what...??
I am still reaping the curses because of what i did. I can admit the truth even when it doesn't work in my favor. Not trying to dog anyone but shedding light. What you sow you will reap. So when you sleep around and get pregnant DON'T EXPECT AN EASY LIFE!

AlphaFrog, I won't even acknowledge you. You seemed to be Satanic so I wont even throw pearls at swine.

Okay, no more jokey jokes, that's not funny. I'm sorry you experienced that. :(

That's because I sent her a PM while I was having my period and she read it. Unclean!!!

Can we not gay up this thread?

OK Thanks.

-Rudey

What's awesome is the fact that I've spent most of my adult life sleeping around and I've never been pregnant. Best of all possible worlds!

LMAO!!!!

Sorry Rudey.

Back to the regularly scheduled program.

You are sooo funny.

Naw its cool babygirl. Ive been delivered from that part of my life. the jokes can continue because thats how people cope with their miserable lives, their dark sins and secrets, their depression and anxiety. So joke away I know the truth and truth will set you FREE!!;)

I'm just worried about over population in trailer parks.

--One problem at a time

Again I give props to the ones that rise above their circumstances and try to make something of themselves and take care of their children. Yes we all know of some triflin mothers (married or unmarried) and some triflin daddys. But I'm specifically talking about the ones who decided to do better. (i.e mulattogyrl :))

Thanks Soror!! :)

This thread is all Rudey's fault.

It brought us the double wide.

The triple wide can't be far behind :(

I find this topic distasteful..but in any case, I have a friend (20 yrs old), 3rd year in college, Chemistry major, recently got inducted into an honor society, VP of her sorority..and yet, she is pregnant. Not by accident, either. Apparantly, she and her boyfriend were trying to start a family. Yes, she is low-income (but definately not "ghetto" "trailer trash" or any other words to categorize "poor" people). I don't think her class status had anything to do with her decision to have this kid. She's going to have her baby during the summer, and eventually go back to school.

I also just met a girl at my law school, first-term student, who is 5 months pregnant. She is planning on coming back to finish law school after a semester off.

So, not every girl who gets pregnant drops her life/education/career because they chose (or by accident) had a baby. They eventually get back into the game.

Also, maybe its more tabboo for upper class girls to get pregnant. And they can definately afford abortion.

Rudey once asked me the philosophical question. "Would you bang a pregnant chick?"


If my wife was preggers, then sure yeah I'd do her. Atleast I hope she would. I hope she doesnt balloon up to like 100 lbs or 150 lbs over. Yikes.


Rudeys response was " Only if her name was Lexie"

Her and her "boyfriend"? That's insane.

I guess they don't believe that the parents really need to be committed to eachother?? Is marriage obsolete to some? I just cannot fathom wanting to bring a baby into the world under those circumstances on purpose.

I plan on practicing family law after I finish law school, so people like that get me seeing $$$ in my future. Thank god for them and their stupidity. I see paternity and child support collection cases in my crystal ball.

Nah, but I might need to start when I move closer to my future MIL.

I totally don't mean to be serious in this thread, but yes, marriage is obsolete to some. Even if it isn't considered obsolete, marriage does not always mean the parties are committed to each other, and lack of marriage does not always mean that they aren't. Marriage might be central to your idea to family and children, but everybody does not share that world view -- I'm sure it varies quite a bit geographically and, of course, in terms of religion.

If you go into the practice of law viewing your clients as idiot cash cows, you're going to end up bitter and hating your job. Also, paternity and child support collection aren't going to make you bank -- you're more likely to see the $$$ if you represent the well-off people who share your attitude that marriage is of the utmost importance -- that is, until they want to bang their secretaries and get the car and the house.

hey KTSnakes On a Plane. Would you bang a chick that was preggers?

I knew several girls in high school that got knocked up. It defintely throws educational plans a curve ball.

There was a girl that I used to work with at my current job who was the epitome of upper middle class teen mom:

She's super duper ultra sugery sweet. She got pregnant in high school and married the dad. Within a few years of the third kid being born she finally got divorced. He was an alcoholic who couldn't keep a job. She enrolled in college and moved her three kids and herself to a one bedroom apartment in the ghetto. At least it was ghetto compared to where she grew up. She worked full time and went to school full time. Her jobs? She was a grocery store cashier and a stripper. Which paid quite nicely her tuition bills, rent, and Mexican breast implants. She graduated in three years and was on the dean's list. :eek:

This has me LOL. Hey bobby, would you have sex with Mexican breast implants? If they spoke English?

What the hell are Mexican implants? AHAHAHA

Implants are muy barato in Tijuana!:cool:

ah ;)

Well see, I was raised to believe in marriage. But who am I to enforce my set of rules and values onto others (and trust me, upbringing is more conservative than the average)? I have met quite a few people who dont have much faith in the institution of marriage. But you know, it's not my life, my family, my kids, so at the end of the day..who cares?

Also, marriage is not the end all and be all. Lots of people nowadays grow up in single-parent homes, and still manage to get ahead in life (or pursue the things that have meaning to them).

how did I miss this before?


I'd have sex with it as long as it had a vagina. Oh, and it can't be overweight

It's not even from a religious standpoint -- I mean, why the heck would anyone want kids outside of a marriage? It seems incredibly selfish to me. Parents should be focused on providing their kids with the best home possible, and I don't care how much we think we've "progressed" as a society -- 2 parent homes are ideal. Purposely bringing a kid into a 'less than ideal' situation is selfish and wrong. I'm not suggesting abortion as an alternative (unless that's what floats your boat) but don't go get knocked up just to have someone to talk to...

I'm not that cynical yet. Paternity and child support collection can pay the bills -- they don't bring in the big bucks, but they'll keep the rent paid. Paternity cases can actually be pretty darned contentious (therefore lucrative). I'm a legal assistant in a practice that handles quite a bit of family law right now and I'm learning a lot. I know exaclty how the bills get paid, and yes, those eminent domain six-figure fees are nice, but they don't come as often as the paternity/child support collection/divorce cases do.

As far as bitter/hating my job, no, despite the fact that I recognize that I'll make a lot of money doing this once I get that bar card, I also really enjoy helping these folks out -- even in my current underling/serviant role.

I'm going to do a little volunteer work this summer for Oklahoma DHS, so I should get a lot more experience with these kids from defunct homes -- I'll be doing first interviews after the kids are picked up, and I'll be doing kinship placement assessments... looks to be interesting stuff.

Who said that you aren't a 2 parent home if you don't have a marriage?

One of my friends from high school, Rachel, has been with her boyfriend, Derek, since she was a sophmore; 9 years now. They own their own home, have 2 adorable children, both have finished college, and she's going for her masters in social work. They are both incredibly commited to each other, and even went to couples counseling after her bout of postpartem depression so that the relationship kept working. Neither Rachel nor Derek need a peice of paper to state they are committed to each other.

On the other hand, Rachel grew up in two homes where her mother and father had restraining orders against the other. Derek's parents were together, and still are, but each have had multiple extramarital affairs.

Marriage is obsolete.

ktsnakes on a plane. you still didn't answer my question. :(

I strongly disagree. There are a lot of benefits to being married -- lower insurance, owning property in joint tenancy, can get on group insurance plans together, etc. There's very little reason not to be wed in their case. If they did end up splitting, one could bring a lawsuit against the other for division of the assets acquired during the relationship anyhow.

I think the theory is 'dissolution of a partnership,' but I could be wrong (and probably am).
