Jes,
realizing that this decision is yours alone, and knowing how you think of me, i realize that you will disregard this comment, and im ok with that, i can just as soon push memories away. i have always held you in high regard, and have never disliked you, contrary to what you want to believe. explanation on that can be obtained by asking me and listening. but in my opinion, you are making horrible decisions, you may think that you are ready to have a child, and you may think that this will make you an adult, but no, you arent, and it wont. ive seen people that do this. it destroys your life, that child will be everything in your life, EVERYTHING, no friends, no family, no free time, no sex, nothing. sewing, painting, the things that you love so much, gone, poof, all gone in less than a second. think of this jes, it costs you 180000 dollars for the first year of a childs life, then it increases every year, brian barely makes rent each month, his child support will buy you baby food for a week, if that, where are you gonna get the other 178800 the first year from? think of THAT, not will it change your life, think of how it will happen, nay, how it could happen, IF it could happen, then make your decision.

this is not just to brent this is to everyone but those select few who know who they are.
everyone needs to shut the fuck up. i know people who had kids young without the dad in the picture and both the mom & the kid are fine. im not doing this to be an adult im doing this coz i have to. i dont have have a family, very few friends & no sex. sally and i will hopefully have our business up in less then a year, where my job will be sewing, among other things. and dont fucking start on brian he cant afford rent because he spends money frivilously and doesnt work full time. if he got off his lazy ass and applied himself then money wouldnt be an issue, instead hes caught up in his adolecent dreams of fame & fortune. i have a full time job lined up for when i get to minnesota and i might be working a part time job on top of that so i can save. i have thought this through and despite what everyone thinks to the contrary i am doing the right thing. i know very few people who know what this is like. all of them support me, doesnt that tell you something? yes its a lot to give up but what i am willing to give up is nothing compared to what you are asking me to do. i dont expect your support, however i do expect you to shut the fuck up. unless you have been pregnant please dont offer advice, because you have no fucking idea. and that post was about arthritis not about my child.
