Ok so usually I don't like to create threads unless I really feel a need to get a second opinion on something. But I was browsing another forum I am on this happened to pop up, a 20 year announcing he got his 19 year old GF preggo. Now I was post a link for you's to see, Me personally I think is stupid because most kids are freshman in college etc.
He claims his girlfriend will be going to college part-time and he's an engineer, I highly doubt he's making that great of money starting out, plus its a family owned business so he probably gets everything handed to him.
Here's the link if anyone cares to look, or give an opinion. Personally I much rather have a kid in my late 20's and make sure I have a stable career and good with money.
Agreed. A lot of kids from my high school decided to aim high and head over to community college. Quite a few of them have kids now. And not newborns, I'm talking 2 year old kids. The "dad's" have full-time jobs making shitty money and the "mom's" don't have an education and stay home all day. Makes me glad that I didn't follow my high school class to either community college or even Texas A&M and got out of my comfort zone.

What a waste. His good years of banging different girls are gone.
+1 one of my friends got a chick pregnant when he was 19. it went well for a few months but now she's banging one of his friends and he's in jail.

I can see both sides here. Yours being that it was a dumb mistake and it wasn't the best idea or whatever. However, it sounds like he knows it was an accident but he is ready to take on the challenge.
At least he is getting ready and preparing himself for it and has told his family about it so they can support him and what not. Usually these days, you hear stories like this and the baby's momma or daddy runs off and one person is stuck with all the drama.
Like I said, I see both sides of the story. With that being said, I'm 19 myself and don't plan on having a little Chris running around anytime soon.

good choice. he"ll see what I am talking about in the long run. who's to say that girl won't leave him as soon as she shits the kid out?
depends. But in most cases I would say 19/20 is too young to start a family.
If you were a celebrity or something then that be different. Ill be 19 in 10 days so this falls into my category I think the kid is dumb, and its not something Id be proud of just yet.

He might as well embrace it if it's happening. What is being upset about the situation going to do for him? Nothing.
I don't worry about other people like that. If they are happy and think they can handle it right now then good for them. .

As far as I'm concerned it is a matter of opinion. There is no right or wrong. If you think about 60 years ago, most people were married by 20 years old and did have kids, so what is the difference from then versus now?
Personally, I don't see why you care so much that you're arguing with him. Regardless whether it is typically the best situation to have a child at that age or not, instead of trying to tell him what a huge mess he is about to be in, you could support him and perhaps it could all work out for the best. The guy is legitimately excited. How often do you find that from someone his age in that situation...

Because things Like this piss me off, and it only makes the economy worse, because 75% of the time these people end up going on welfare and then everything gets paid for by the state etc. and then my taxes out of my paycheck go towards it.
I know I'm nowhere near ready to even start thinking about discussing the possibility of having children, and I'm way past 20.
Course, I don't think most people should be having children even when they're 35, but that's just me.

Not to hijack the thread, but going to community college is not a bad idea. With the cost of a college education, most CC's offer a way for people to get their first 2 years of gen ed's out of the way for less money before moving onto a college/university to complete their degree. Just thought I'd add that in.
As for 19 being too young, I think it is. I'm 33 and have a 1yr old and being a father is tough (but indescribably awesome too). How can you be an engineer at the age of 20 anyway?

How does it feel to have the world by the balls at 18 years old and know everything there is to know? Sit here and spew these bullshit statistics. Do you ever listen to yourself? God, you're awfully judgmental.
You have no idea of this kid’s state yet you sit there and judge him…
My mother was 20 when I was born. My dad [24 at the time] worked 2 jobs and she worked up until my birth. I would say that this is probably not the norm for that age group though. I'm 24 now and know that I'm not at a level mentally nor financially to support a family.
a couple of my friends had kids when they were 20ish...i personally think that if your not gonna go to college then you should go on with your life....i dont like to see it because most of the time the parents of the kids are not even together which is rediculous....i say if you are ready to dedicate your life to your family then go for it...i like to see married people have kids....not high schoolers
How can you only be 20 and be an engineer? Most programs are at least 4 years to be an engineer

Family owned Business, he probably gets everything handed to him!

19 year old certainly don't make alot right out of high school, thats a fact, I was lucky to make 450-500 a week at my detailing job at a dealership, and that was putting 12 hour days in etc, Of coarse once I started doing my SAT Prep Program I had to cut back but still made decent money, no where's near were Id be able to afford a kid. this was right out of high school, I graduated from HS in 08, Ill be 19 in 10 days.

Opinion's are opinions but I will agree to that as well. some people shouldn't have kids period.
Yeah...but an engineer and a techy are two completely different things. I am an engineer and right out of school I would of been able to support a small family.
