re: Soon-to-be mommy at 17. (Venting)

Quoting pandaburr:" maybe you should've thought about your situation before TTC at 16. you pretty much asked for this."

Huh. Well. That explains. OP, you deserve all of this then.

Quoting HaileaNicole:" my boyfriend DOES WORK, but his mother takes all the money from his pay check. He doesnt make enough. ... [snip!] ... enough. She wants $600 for rent plus we pay her hydro bill, internet, and phone. and Im almost 7 months pregnant, i cant work."

So he can afford to pay all her bills but not his own?

Quoting 𝒮unкissed:" If he has a "good" job then he should qualify for an apartment."

we dont have the money though, his mother takes his checks .

Plenty of 7 month pregnant women work. I have a friend who is 40 weeks and 2 days and she works at a hospital as an X-ray tech

You mother was already gone, your dad a deadbeat and you and bf were living in this situation already. Why ttc?

Tell him to man the smurf up and learn how to say no.

That's illegal. Obviously he's okay with it.

if he can pay her $600 a month for rent plus other bills he can afford to move out. you need to find a job too and if you cant you need to apply for assistance and do what you can to get the hell out of there. stop paying her smurf.

I did not read OP say she was TTC, FYI..

Many pregnant women work.. I worked from week 1 until week 39 when I was induced.. And then I had to go back to work after THREE weeks because we needed the money!

she did say she was TTC on another topic.

You don't have any other family other than your parents? I live with my grandparents and I am so thankful to have them. Maybe you could look into a different family member? An Aunt, Uncle, grandparents, even great-grandparents.

I'm confused, where does it say she was TTC?
