WIU to wonder how they are affording this baby?

[GlitteringJasper]

I probably am,it's not really my business but anyway...

Dh's niece has just announced pregnancy.

She's 19 and lives with her mother. We didn't even know she had a boyfriend! She's been with the father since November.

Baby is due in July and there was an excited announcement over weekend.

Now the last time we saw niece she didn't have a job. She does now, part time work.

Anyway, was IU to wonder how they are affording a baby?

Seriously I'm mid 30's and can just about scrape by with my 2 buts it hard going.

Niece didn't do GCSE's, I don't think she even went to sit the exams. She hasn't stuck at a job long term before.

AIBU to wonder;
How they can afford this baby?
What the big rush to have one is?

Obviously in front of the family I will have no opinion, it's not my business. Privately I am judging.

Is this wrong of me?

That's just it isn't it? People look at a persons current situation and pass judgement but you can't predict how anyone's life will turn out in the future. Who knows where OP's niece will end up in ten years, it's entirely possible that she is able to make a good life for herself and her child.

It's judgmental of you...natural but judgmental. Perhaps you could see if you have some baby stuff lying around you can help her out with...
