my friend got
his girlfriend pregnant after a similar time frame.
The girl thought she could never get pregnant so was really happy. They decided to have the baby and now have a lovely baby boy and are really happy.
Not for me though no no no no.
if anyone has a boy you can give him to me =)
^ pervert
i should've seen that one a mile off
Sorry I'm late with it
maybe
you should tell the group about your shocking dead baby joke at dinner the other night, TONY. I never saw that one coming, right out of the left-field it was.
Basically,
if I didn't want a baby, I'd make sure I wasn't going to get one and if I did get one, it would be own fault and I'd have to get used to the idea if that's what she wanted.
flee the country
nope, i'd get an abortion.
i can barely look after myself at the moment.
^ Crossed off my good catholic girls list
hnnnnggggghhhhh
no, oh i dunno, i really don't think so. no. oh i really don't know. i hate this question. hypothetical questions are the worst things in the world.
if you had a boy and didn't want him, can i have him?
of course
he might be a bit short though, i'm only 5"5.
:S
don't do that face
do you want me to keep it? i can't even look after myself let alone a baby.
it'd be the worlds biggest geek
I was just doing that face to get a response from you anyway. I win! x
fucker
i'm going to intentionally get pregnant now then post the baby to you. TAKE THAT
it won't be yours either
i've got a very small letterbox
i have a very small womb
*swoon*
Abort.
Abort/Retry/Fail
It's like a short story
of a woman who has a termination and then can't conceive in the future :D
I could never be your woman
10 out of fucking 10!!!
:D
Or the name of one of those
mid afternoon C5 films.
About a computer and woman that fall in love and somehow conceive a child but the woman gets scared and has a abortion. They try again but the woman realises that they can never be together.
Powerful stuff.
No
if you make an agreement then you stick to it, you can't just change your mind about something as important as that unless you both wanted to.
I like other girls opinion on this pls!! :)
:)
Why?
Did I say something wrong? :(
nooooooooo
i want them all to agree with u soo i feel safe ;)
Oh I see :)
but I'm amazed that anyone might disagree...I mean, it's sticking to your word - making a promise and keeping it. Otherwise how could you trust anyone?
exactly!
marry me? :P
oh
okay then ;)
yay
:)
while i see your point
re: promises, i don't think this is one that you can hold someone too, because while they may mean it 100% when they say it, the reality of the situation could understandably change their mind.
in that case, if it were me and i didn't stick to what i'd said, i would expect nothing from the father and let him know that he could choose whether or not to be involved and financially supportive.
But that's so unfair on the guy
If he decides to be involved, he's tied down to that forever. If he doesn't, he'll spend the rest of his life feeling guilty about it, wondering what his child is like etc.
whereas holding a girl
to a promise that she made when she had no idea how she'd feel once pregnant is fair on the girl?
this is something that's growing inside her body, and though it may seem unfair it is ultimately her decision.
as said below, the guy has to take some responsibility for his own actions here as well.
If it happened I'd have a pretty
hard time sticking by those things. Guess you've just got to really try and make sure it doesn't.
I'd never let a 6 month old get me pregnant
Until you're in that position, you never know
It's naive to think otherwise.
I'll make sure he wears a condom next time, then
Sensible man
i have had a similar discussion with my 2 year + girlfriend
i think we decided that we wouldn't have it what with being at uni/having our whole lives ahead of us/not being massively serious about us, however I don't really know how either of us would react if she did get pregnant. maybe things would be different.
Impossible to answer
unless you're in that situation imo
^^ This
i've been thinking about this quite a bit recently
im only young really (well definately for having kids), but i've been with my girlfriend a while. and obviously we havent planned kids, and dont want kids, but i reckon if it accidently happened we wouldn't be able to get rid of it. it's wierd. i think i just watch Knocked Up and Juno too much.
a good friend of mine who's the same age as me is 7 1/2 months pregnant with her boyfriend of about a year, it's pretty crazy. they were shitting themselves at first, but now they're so excited, i think it'd be the same for me.
i wish i could have kids, i really want one
depends on partner
some people you wouldn't wanna have kids with, as much as you like them
but probably definitely wouldn't do it with my money/no career direction situation
i think a woman in that situation should probably stick to her original plan. i'm not sure whether i would - depends on partner, depends on life circumstances - but its a massively emotive issue. it can feel just as right to say 'no' and abort as it might do to decide to have a child
I've had to deal with something like this
although it was after 18 months. I thought I'd act in a certain way if my partner fell pregnant. When faced with the stark reality we both reacted very very differently. In the end on this occasion the decision wasn't in our hands as there was no chance of the foetus surviving and had to be removed, but it was the most difficult and emotionally fucked up time of my life.
I'd be control alt deleting it's face in
with no reservations.
Anyway, from past experience, pregnant girls are horny, and there's no need for condoms, and they're even more psychotic and it's OK.
It kind of makes up for the sexless spell after the abortion but you can always dump them.
or something.
dad material right here!
;)
This thread wants me to buy my girlfriend a shitload of pregnancy tests
as a present.
It'd be scary to say the least :S
My friends kept a baby after being together three months.
The both love the kid but don't seem to like each other at all. They just seem miserable whenever I see them.
They got given a free house from their parents aswell. I would not get given a free house.
free house?
thats no environment to raise a child....
: D
I'd stick with the kid and the mum
a decision like that
you cant automatically stick to something decided before it happened, everythings changed and you would have to discuss it and be surportive of what they wanted now
this seems 1 sided!
thats why i asked this. ie. the girl decides and we just have to go along or be labelled a bastard. Despite it being clearly stated before it happend
I dont quite understand what you mean
but what I meant is regardless of what was decided before, it should be decided again and then whatever you both come to decide is fine
They is the key word
'and you would have to discuss it and be surportive of what they wanted now'
implying her i thought? :S
i'd stick by them, definitely.
even though i really, really don't want children right now, i hate the bloody things.
i just read the question properly
i don't think it really matters if you've both agreed not to have kids, it all changes when emotions about terminating your child are thrown into the mix.
hmmm
I kind of agree with this, but I can't imagine the practical circumstances of one's life would change so much in such a short space of time. If you're not 'stable' financially or career-wise, you'd be setting yourself up for a really hard time for at least the next three or four years.
It's a shit decision, but it can be played like this: have an abortion, feel fucking shit and traumatised, think about it maybe every week for the rest of your life, but generally enjoy your life and have a good time.
Or have the kid with someone you're not sure about, have that person permanently in your life, end up wearing cheapo tracksuits from matalan cos you have to buy baby formula, end up with a kid that probably hates you but sponges off you until they are 18. Die shit and unfulfilled.
its
win freaking win
by the way
my post didn't mean "you must have the kid", it just meant it'd have to be re-disccused, you wouldnt be able to go by the original agreement.
i agree, it becomes a different matter altogether
if you're in love you're more likely to agree to it
just from personal experience, there's only so much discussion you can have. it is or it isn't.
i don't have kids
but i've been told time and time again, you are NEVER really ready.. financially or otherwise. they will inevitably change your life but there are always ways to 'make it work'.. whatever that means specifically.
my mom became pregnant when she and my dad were 17 (through accident obviously). she was shunned by the community and her family (they came around eventually!) but she kept her baby and my parents are still together and i can't imagine life without my big bro! i realise it's not a typical tale..
it amazes me when I hear stories like that
personally, I'm a massive control freak and I'd just need to feel certain things were in place, that's all. but yeah, people make difficult decisions all the time, and go through with things, and survive and raise incredible children etc. i'm too cowardly!
depends who it was
whoever it was though, i would definitely encourage them to have an abortion. I'd definitely be in the baby's life if she did decide to have it, but I am not sure in what way.
in the £ £ way
for definate.
So, the birth control failed and you're scared?
Oops.
narrr
it was a major issue in a friend relationship he couldnt trust her to be on the pill cos she was wayyy too flakey and he doubted her sincercity over termination.
thank god!
;)
i'm not sure i'd get into that kind of agreement
i've always been very much "woman's decision", but i'm aware my feelings might be different if i'm ever put in that position. in conclusion, i have no idea
I would stick to my word -
I just don't think 6 months is a long enough period of time to make a judgement on a person as to wheter they would be a good person father/mother a child. It's got to be fair on the kid....
I don't agree
6 months old
You shouldn't be having sex with babies!
woman's choice
i'd stand by them either way.
deal with the consequences of your actions.
oh thank you!
someone speaks sense.
i would be very displeased about her getting an abortion
what a square
I think it's a difficult thing to comment on until you are actually in that position
A friend of mine's Girlfriend fell pregnant, they were careful, she was on birth control - things happen, he absolutley was against having the baby as he felt they were not ready, but she was dead set on having the baby. They now have a beautiful baby boy and he says he would never wish for it to be otherwise.
wait till the
honeymoon period is over.
I work with about 4 people who have 2-5 year olds and they hate it.
Hey I say just wait until they're teenagers.
at least when they're 2-5 you are still much bigger than them
hormones and emotions
make preggo women change, those who never wanted children are suddenly gooing over babygrows and men who were the same are eyeing up buggies in the street
I think it's impossible to say without being in the situation and judging your personal circumstances, but me being a bit baby mad I would never say i wouldn't have it anyways :)
You being baby mad
is an understatement!
DON'T
READ JANE EYRE
I have realised in the past few months
that my feelings on this are changing. I'm actually old enough to have a baby! Not that I want one yet, but it would be more of a decision if it happened now. I think it's because my best friend has had a baby.
yeah, its crazy
babies have such a wierd effect on people.
2 or 3 years ago i was like "wah wah i'm never having kids" now
