To think that my reprobate cousin shouldn't be having a baby?

[BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers]

My cousin (I don't have a lot to do with her tbh because she is a chavdoes my head in) has just announced on Facebook that she and her "hubz" (boyfriend) are having a baby. She is not even 8 weeks pregnant

My reasons for this are:

1. A few weeks ago she was doing FB statuses berating "the hubz" for hitting on other gyals and doing those wanky "Y wud u go lukin 4 burggers when u got stake at home???" statuses. She is a child in a childish relationship.

1. About an hour after announcing her news on FB she updated her status saying "2 all de haterz out dere imma gonna be a GOOD MOM stop PMing me ur hate not intrested BYE"

1. Neither of them work.

1. She is immature. For example, at a relative's funeral a few weeks back, she sat texting through the whole thing. It was painful to watch.

1. Apparently, according to her Vicki Pollard mates who've been writing business all over her FB wall, my cousin has being trying to conceive for TWO YEARS! WTAF?! Why would you be trying THAT hard to conceive when you live in a flat, neither of you have a job and your boyfriend sounds like a penis? Why?

1. Her twin sister announced the pregnancy on HER FB before her sister had even done it. My head is spinning with confusion. I wonder how I share genes with these people.

Her life, her baby, her Facebook account.

Nothing actually to do with you. As you said, you have little to do with her.

someone once stopped me in the middle of M&S and asked me if my children had the same father.

Fucks knows why they felt compelled to ask?

What did you say? I would be so tempted to say 'you know, I have no idea. Never really thought about it...'. Mum used to get odd looks because our brother looks very different from the rest of us (all red haired girls and he is blond).

I said sorry ive got no idea who their fathers are, I just figured having 2 mixed race babies would get me a council house quicker.

My poor mother was mortified and actually went over to the woman in the queue to apologise for my rudeness!! and to explain that I was actually married, had a job and a house and dh was indeed the father of both.

Why is everyone so fucking entitled these days? Yes, having a child that you can't afford to bring up is irresponsible. People that can't afford to bring up a child shouldn't have one. There are so many women who have to wait to have children because they can't afford to be off for maternity leave or nursery fees or whatever, yet others who haven't worked a day in their life can have them whenever they feel like (probably to mend a relationship that's breaking down). And before you all start staying "but what if someone's pregnant, loses their job and can't sell their unicorn" or whatever, you know what I mean, obviously the above doesn't apply in every situation.

Wahahaha! Mum used to say 'remember Fred the blond milkman?' to dad, who used to non knowingly.

'he doesn't have two brain cells to rub together, is an absolute charisma vacuum and has the mental age of a chimp foetus.'

I think we have a winner for Quote of the Week,

'tis sad.

Be nice if there was a happy ending but reality is that he will piss off - probably before baby is born and she'll be raising the kid alone

Surely PreggerzNPeng?

Your FACE.

I have loads of people like this in my family yet when I have posted on here about them being able to afford designer clothes,brand new cars,2 holidays a year etc-I have been called a liar

All of my cousins had left school by 15/16. Only one of them has a job. The others have never worked,have at least 2 children and live the life of riley on benefits-they also post shit like this on fb all the time.

Tbf my youngest sister recently had a baby-she is 23 but more like an 18 year imo-and I cringe at some of the fb stuff she posted but she is coping really well as a mother and is going back to work next month so some times young parents can step up to the mark...

Approximately 84% of people who have babies are only qualified to do so by virtue of having opposable thumbs. Once you accept this, it gets easier. Then you free yourself to start judging faces- much more fun.

It's all FB's fault really. We were much happier before we knew what they were thinking.

YABU - anyone can have kids, no quals required. that is the way of the world.

YABU for having her as a 'friend' on FB when you don't even like her. Defriend or block her at once & focus on something more worthwhile. ( hide all the teens on FB (relatives) - their txt speak etc makes my eyes bleed!

My cousin is a bit chavvy, for want of a better word and ha two children by two different men by the age of 20. She is a fantastic mum, took to motherhood far easier than I did with my mortgage, job, husband etc. The eldest is now six and she has never left him overnight to go drinking or otherwise and has found a part time job in a care home. She has always put her children first and I hope your cousin will surprise you as she did me.

YABU, because it's none of your business and it's not as though you can do anything about it.

(I agree it doesn't sound an ideal situation though)

"People that can't afford to bring up a child shouldn't have one."
This is like saying "eat up your dinner, there are people starving in Africa dontchaknow?

Absolutely bloody pointless.

well handled Bups This thread truly could have gone either way. It is now a 90/10 swing in your favour.

I know some who took ecstasy at the after party of her "bubz" christening

"Bubz" was still in attendance

Perhaps she would make a nice new friend for your relation if the haterz to homiez ratio tips out of favour for her?

lol at preggerz and peng. If she farts as much as most pregnant women then she'll be preggerz n' pong.

I won't comment on this particular case because it's all been said, but there is no doubt that many young girls have babies when they really aren't emotionally ready to do so, quite apart from the financial aspect.

Bupcakes YANBU (although if she has had no positive role models in her life as you say, then it would a lot harder for her to go down any other road I guess).

However, does anyone else think that if another, much lesser known, poster had posted this, they would have been flamed to fuck from page 1!

Does she really spell mum 'mom'?

Tbf showme I didn't know this was bups till I'd posted a lot so no my posts would have been the same to whoever.
