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

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 Hmm

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.

I could have written your OP two years ago about my own cousin. But... she had the baby, got rid of the crappy 'hubz' and her rubbish mates, moved out of her old area and has just started back at work. Having DS has totally transformed her attitude to everything and she's become a great mum.

And FWIW she even sounded exactly like Pollard.

lifeintheolddogyet · 06/12/2012 14:41

Sorry that should have read having her DS. Not mine. Obviously. Blush

LoopsInHoops · 06/12/2012 14:45

Why can't you tell your friends you are pregnant whenever and however you like? The 12 week 'rule' means bollocks all, you know that? You know babies die after that, don't you Buppers?

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 14:46

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

Oh my crapsy :(

Thanks Funny, for the running statistics on the swing of the thread Grin

This is the second time in about two weeks that someone has something like "If it wasn't Bupcakes who posted that they would have got battered/this is the first time I have seen people not crawling up the arse of Bupcakes" WTF?! Posters disagree with me ALL the time. I don't post to have my grits kissed. I have had many spectacular flamings over the time I have been a MNer. I had a good one this time last year when I said that Kim Jong Il's funeral was funny. I've had loads. Xmas Grin Wine

I do know that, Loops. But it's a fact that the rate of miscarriage drops dramatically after 12 weeks.

Oh my God, this has actually made me remember another reason why you shouldn't tell early... the cousin's sister also got pregz a couple of years back (she had got one baby by her ex hubz, thjis one was by a new guy) She announced it to everyone early (can't remember how far gone she was) then I realised after about 5 months that nothing had been said about her expected baby (she lived 200 milesaway so I didn't see her often) then my stepmum said "Oh didn;t you know, she had a termination? Hmm" What the fuck??!!! Why would you do that? Shows the level in immaturity/emotional incompetence of these girls IMO.

Sounds like my little sister's mate, she announced her pregnancy at 4 weeks, had chosen godparents by 8 weeks, and had a baby shower at 10 weeks. With a gift list. Of designer stuff. She lives with her parents so hopefully they will help her with the shock of having a newborn.

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 14:52

Anna, I am just waiting for the choosing of the Godparents (despite these two being the most Godless fucks I know) TBA on BookFace naturally. Bubbah Shower but all the stuff will be Primark surely? Their mates won't have the reddies for BabyBurberry.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 06/12/2012 14:53

Yanbu. It all sounds most unsavoury. The poor baby will most likely end up like the parents and on the cycle goes for another generation.

LoopsInHoops · 06/12/2012 14:54

I told people early because I was shit scared and expecting twins. Turns out one died anyway, at 32 weeks. Really glad people were with me on that journey and I'm fairly sure if it had happened before your magic 12 weeks I still would have needed their support.

To be honest, I think you're coming across as a bit of a bitch. I know you're not really, and the txtspk etc. is awful, but really, you need to let people run their lives their own way. We can't all be Bupcakes and Cunting. :)

EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin · 06/12/2012 14:54

Unsavoury.

That's a good way of putting it. I like that.

showmethetoys · 06/12/2012 14:55

Bupcakes that was you who posted about Kim Jong Il's funeral?! Surely not, that was a proper roasting!

LoopsInHoops · 06/12/2012 14:55

property are you saying Bupcakes's grandparents were chavs?

QueenofNightmares · 06/12/2012 14:56

Peng means brilliant/wonderful/good or at least it does here in Nottingham Grin We speak our own language though to be fair.

As for your cousin well its shit but what can you do about it now? Time will prove what she chooses to make of herself and her new life.

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 14:56

I am so sorry for your loss Loops. Thanks

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 14:57

That was me! (Kim Jong roasting) Grin

"We can't all be Bupcakes and Cunting."

And that is why the world is such a bad place at the minute. :(

OP posts:
LoopsInHoops · 06/12/2012 15:00

Nah, I didn't post it for sympathy. I posted because you need to see that other people make different decisions from you and that's OK.

But yes, the world would be much better of we were all more like you. Grin

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 15:03

Nah she can't keep her trapola shut because she's "xcited" She said as much on FisogBook. I read it. She wants the attention and the "congratz hun"

I told my mum/MIL for similar reasons to you. Was feeling ill and having cramps/bleeding and wanted reassurance. I still wouldn't have done it to the world at large, on FB if I was doing it because I needed reassurance.

Don't judge just suppoort.

LoopsInHoops · 06/12/2012 15:05

But so what if you didn't/wouldn't?

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 15:05

I'm just saying, I doubt she has done it for the reasons that you did.

OP posts:
propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 06/12/2012 15:09

How the fuck would I know if Bups grandparents were chavs? Obviously you do get 'hereditary' chavs but you also get 'bad apple' chavs who spring up from an otherwise exemplary lineage.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 06/12/2012 15:11

And Bups is not prone to text speak or Hunz so on balance it seems likely her cousin is a 'bad apple' chav......

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 15:15

Oh God, I'll get battered for this but here goes...

Cuzzi's mum (granny to be) is the youngest on my dad's side of siblings. My dad and his siblings are all fine/normal/whatever. GTB married a miscreant (drug dealer/petty thief/woman beater) so that's where it all went wrong for GTB. Sadly, she hasn't instilled any sense of aspiration/self-belief in her DC's so they are making the same mistakes as she did (choosing wrong types for DP's/getting preggo young with no solid foundations)

LOL at my grandparents being chavs Xmas Grin My grandma was always sat in the bus stop with her pitbull on a chain/can of Frosty Jack, whilst my grandad did donuts in his souped-up Volvo on the Lidl carpark. Xmas Grin

absolutely pmsl at preggers & peng, fuckwitzzz, and 'your face'

yanbu but it would be nice if it had a happy outcome like wot Cortana said. Mind you it looked that way for my (actually lovely) BiL and his much younger rather chav differently cultured gf, but she has recently fucked off and reverted to type

FreckledLeopard · 06/12/2012 15:18

Second cousin of mine (who I've never met) sounds similar. She lives in America, dropped out of high school, got pregnant by local gangster (photos of him posing, a la Eminem, all over facebook)...he then went to prison, she then wrote on her fb status about how she decided to get an abortion Hmm. There's me thinking she could have signed up for Teen Mom instead.

Thing is, I had DD at 19 (unplanned). Went to university (with her in tow), got my degree, got my MSc, am now a lawyer. Realised when I got pregnant that DD came first and I didn't. Unfortunately, lots of people don't realise this....
