Wow the attitudes on this post are appalling. Someone being a smoker does not make them a bad or dangerous parent. I imagine most of you grew up between the 40s to the 90s - were your parents and grandparents monsters - because smoking was sure as hell pretty common back then. You see one corner of something in a photo and assume they are blowing smoke directly in to a childs' face 🙄

The attitudes on here are nothing short of snobbery and ignorance. Not everyone has a great command of written English - it doesn't make them 'less than' . There are many reasons why a 26 year old might need advice about periods and reproduction, so stop acting as though she's not fit to be a mother because of what you perceive to be a silly question.

They didn’t know how dangerous passive smoking was back then. They do now.

So you're assumed the OP is poor because

  1. they are a smoker/live with a smoker
and/or
  1. they have poor written English ?

Where has the OP posted that she can't afford her current child, or any others? I don't see that she's mentioned finances even once.

Your family planning choices linked to your income and COL are nothing to do with the OP. It's not virtue signalling to call out blatant discrimination and assumptions based on assumed stereotypes.

God forbid if someones' husband was a smoker and they were dyslexic - to the work house with them all!!

Call me cynical but I’d wager the OP and her boyfriend are not net tax contributors. Happy to apologise if this isn’t the case, but in this day and age to post a photo of an ashtray of fag ends next to a pregnancy test with the tagline “lol” shows a certain lack of self-awareness, if nothing else
