It doesn't matter how much money YOU made. He is not you. You can't compare that way.
I think you need to settle down and stay out of other people's business.

I've got to agree with fiveohhhstang on this one. Like others have said, these situations are circumstantial; no, I would not have been able to handle a kid at 20. I'm almost 24 now and still couldn't. But everybody has a different situation. I am enrolled full time in school still. This guy seems to have a steady job. He admits that it was a mistake. Now it just seems like he's trying to make the best of the conditions. It could happen to a LOT of people. You wanted opinions, so I'll voice mine. I think you were quite out of line in the thread. You voiced your opinion on how you thought it was dumb, but then you go on and on with "assumptions". You assumed he doesn't make much money, you assumed his g/f has no job, you assumed his parents hand him everything, etc. His particular situation may be different and may allow for him and his g/f to raise a child at a young age. But calling the guy stupid for getting his g/f pregnant was a bit too much. Seemed like you got WAY too involved in his thread, and I would have been pissed too if you came in my thread making the comments you did. I could ASSUME that you are somewhat jealous of his situation, since he is close to your age (and he IS older than you, by the way). But I try to steer clear of making assumptions about people I don't know anything about. Bottom line, my opinion, I agree with you on the fact that in MOST cases 20 years old is too young to raise a child. But you know NOTHING about this guy. Give him a break.
