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.

YANBU, defriend her or hide her posts so you dont have to see them. Having a child within an unsuitable relationship and no money to support the lifestyle choice of a child is irresponsible not something that should be congratulated.

Oh dear lord.

Penge Xmas Grin

Such a good word.

PrettyHairClips · 06/12/2012 16:13

Has OP explained why she thinks people who live in flats shouldn't have children?

Kim Jong's funeral was fucking funny to be fair

It was actually "Why would you be trying THAT hard to conceive when you live in a flat you don't pay for, neither of you have a job and your boyfriend sounds like a penis?"

Which is different.

Living somewhere you are likely to get evicted from is a pretty poor place to purposely conceive frankly.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 06/12/2012 16:20

It was hardly "people who live in flats should not have children" was it?

PrettyHairClips · 06/12/2012 16:21

LtXmasEve that's not what she said. She said:

"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?"

Each item on the list was separated with a comma.

So, what's so bad about living in a flat? Do stairs make someone a better parent?

See her next post PrettyHairClips:

SORRY half of my text seems to have evaporated from the flat sentence. "A flat you don't pay for"

She missed it off, and corrected herself minutes later.

She didn't say it was bad to live in a flat, just one you don't pay for - and if you don't pay for it, at some point you are going to lose it I reckon.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 06/12/2012 16:24

She clarified the flat point two or three posts down, PrettyHair.

MustStopOutingSelf · 06/12/2012 16:24

< off on a tangent >
personally I think it's a bit misogynistic to judge those who tell before the magic 12 weeks. Is it shameful to miscarry? Or the woman's fault? No? Then why should it be hidden. No one judges me for being open about my diabetes...

Or perhaps we shouldn't tell at any point? My Nephew died at 27 weeks, perhaps my DB and SIL shouldn't have said they were expecting. Perhaps we should all keep schtum until they're grown up...

The rest I agree with you Grin

The flat part of it is NOT the reason Bups thinks the situation is far from ideal. Honestly talk about misquoting!

LtXmasEve · 06/12/2012 16:28

That's not what I thought she meant usual, so I suppose we'd best wait for Bupcakes to confirm - I think Bups is many things, but I don't think a 'benefits basher' is one!

TantrumsAndBalloons · 06/12/2012 16:30

Yes. Stairs make people into much better parents. The more stairs you have in your house the better parent you are.
Parents are judged primarily on the amount of stairs they have, and then on whether the stairs are actually in their living room or if their is a seperate hallway for such stairs.

HTH

LaQueen was judged for having stairs in her kitchen.

VinegarTits · 06/12/2012 16:35

i am often seen on benefits threads defending those claiming benefits from the benefit bashers

but this girl sounds like a fool, and its probably not her fault, due to lack of education because this government is not inerested in educating the lower classes and bad parenting because her own parents are probably not educated enough to want a better life for her, its a vicious circle and a bit sad really, if i were her mother i would want better for her, it wouldnt fill me full of pride knowing she was unemployed, living on benefits and expecting a child

FunnysInLaJardin · 06/12/2012 16:37

LaQ was judged for having 2 flights of stairs in her kitchen. One on either side
