The Chronicles of Dealing With a Potential Kid Thread

[Providence A's]

so, ummm, seriously...what happened? no condom? were you trying to get pregnant? did the condom break? were you trying the old pull out upon ejaculation? were you just playing the odds? or something else all together? just curious is all...

[Porter]

I was using a condom and still found a way to get her pregnant. She didnt believe in the pill and i dont believe in protection so i just did it so i could wait until after she graduated from college. But, condoms arent 100% protected and it happened anyways. Oh well, im with the girl i want to be with forever so im happy with it.

[Providence A's]

Yea, I know condoms aren't 100%...I am a health teacher

[Porter]

So i lost in the odds game, but i dont regret it. After finding out for sure, we were pretty exicited.

[Providence A's]

like I said, I was just curious...I'm glad you both are excited about it as opposed to taking the other route.

[Porter]

I dont think i can forgive myself if i let that happen, were both against abortion and adoption in this case. I had a very close friend make that decision and shes been having flashbacks about it.

[Porter]

Ugh the mood swings are already beginning to commence. Should be interesting.

So you've been with her 6 months and knocked her up ? If you think rent and school bills are a *****, just wait until child support.

And i am not just saying that to be an ass.

[A'sDiehard]

And i am not just saying that to be an ass.

Sure.

[Providence A's]

when do you plan on telling the parents? before or after she starts showing?

[Porter]

Before. Its just matter when shes mentally ready to do it.

[BoSox34]

Before. Its just matter when shes mentally ready to do it.

Definately a smart move... Usually in these scenarios, especially at her age, it's usually tougher for the woman in the relationship to break the news to her parents that she's pregnant and not only that with her emotions soon beginning to fly up and down like gravity doesn't exist, I think you are on the right track. But, also the sooner the better and as someone said above if the parents get upset, in some regards Im sure they feel they have a right to be, in there eyes thats there baby girl. But, just be patient with them because I am sure when her parents find out it will be a bit rocky at first. Hopefully they handle it well and choose to support you both during this time. Best of luck man and congrats!

Well the 1st ultrasound will be in a couple of weeks. Shes already 6 weeks along. If i have Twins, im going to buy out Crown Royal.

Might have to become a TWINS fan then too!






Congrats! Kids are the meaning of life man. I'm not a fan of other people's kids (for the most part), but your own!? Nothing can compare. There are rewards that you can't put a price on when it comes to some of the little things.

[Porter]

Lynch- Its going to be a M's Fan. I do have to agree with your own being compared to nothing.

BoSox- Her parents freaking love me and wouldnt have a problem with helping me out before the kid. They know that ive brought up marriage for a while because i dont see my self going anywhere else, even before the kid. So the toughest thing for me is their reaction cause ive been the best guy they have seen her with. Only time will till how rocky its going to be, My parents are fighting right now and that will be an issue cause i know they wont have a problem but their little war they are having could cloud their judgement.

[Porter]

And add the pressure of her parents giving her a hard time about College isnt helping matters either.
