How would you feel?

Try and put yourself in this position...

You're with a man that you know is not right for you but you stay with him anyway because the relationship is not hurting anyone, you still have a laugh with each other and it's so much easier than splitting up.

Lets also say that you have hardly any respect for this man, you see him as a laughing stock because of the way he behaves and his appearance etc....

Then you fall pregnant by accident. Do you think if you had a boy you would treat the child in the same manner as the bloke? would you love the child less than your other kids because of where he comes from? Would he be a laughing stock too?

I'd feel like a bitch either way tbh!

Not an ideal situation to be in, but no I would love the child regardless.

I cannot put myself in that position because I'm not that much of a bitch to even think like that.

See someone as a laughing stock, but still sleep with them?

Continue to sleep with someone I don't respect and then fall pregnant 'by accident'?

Then not love my own child as much because of who his/her dad is?

Yeah, right.

I've been a bitch before, but sorry, I think that's a pretty low way to be.

I really hope this is a troll post.

I think that someone who would consider treating a child like that does not deserve to be a parent.

I'd say I was not right for HIM rather than he was not right for me! I'd know he derserved better, poor bloke!

Expat I think you were right - troll alert.

totally irresponsable if you ask me, i mean, what if its a girl and turns out to have no self respect and moral decency, like her mother?
