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 was going to say wait for Usual to see this thread earlier and now she has Grin

TantrumsAndBalloons · 06/12/2012 16:38

To be fair, she could still be claiming HB whilst working.

I know that's irelevant but I thought I'd throw it out there that not all HB claimants are workshy scum.

YANBU at all. Chances are huge it will be a case of history repeating itself. Again.....

TantrumsAndBalloons · 06/12/2012 16:40

I had a baby at 19. No stairs. 1 bedroom flat on the first floor.
We got married when I was 3 months pregnant because the shock of it would have killed my gran.
Dd is 14 now, and a pretty good kid so the lack of stairs didn't effect her all that much.

You cannot judge a persons worth or character by whether they are on benefits or not.

I hate benefit-bashing, but in this instance the fact she is on benefits is just one element of the overall frustration.

I totally recognise this kind of person, they exist, they are wasters and i would feel exactly the same as OP.

NettoHoHoHoSuperstar · 06/12/2012 16:46

NettoHoHoHoSuperstar · 06/12/2012 16:48

LaQueen was found to be wanting due to her stairs. Stairs are not always a desirable thing, it seems Grin

TantrumsAndBalloons · 06/12/2012 16:51

It depends on the location of the stairs.

i have a seperate hallway. Therefore I am superior.

YANBU.

However you have to hope that da baybee will grow up & be better than the parents.
My mum is a proper entitled-never-worked-in-her-life but demands more goats type but only one of her 4 children is the same as her.

I did my pregnancy test at work with my boss and colleague! The whole world knew pretty quickly! How soon you tell the world about your pregnancy is an indicator of precisely zilch! I also got pregnant to a deadbeat (was never with him though)... guess I should have my ovaries cut out.

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 17:00

I thought you might rock up eventually, usual Xmas Wink

However, generally, I don't give a shit about people being on benefits. I really don't. My posting history on MN will back that up. This is about several factors making this a less than ideal situation to bring a bubbah into.

People think this is good? I must raise my DC's to lower their expectations in that case...

Why hasn't Hully been on this thread saying "You are usually a sensible poster but this thread is ill-judged"? :( :( :(

She's busy being deleted on her own thread.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 06/12/2012 17:08

No one congratulated me either.

I was told I was stupid, I wouldn't get anywhere in live, even by one supremely helpful person that mixed race relationships never work and DH would have ran away by the time the baby was born.

But, people like my cousin, who honestly think their babies are designer accessories and gives them something to do because she is bored actually makes me want to scream.

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 06/12/2012 17:10

Awwww Mrs DeVere :( That's heartbreaking. I'm sorry. Thanks
