sweet 16 and preggers

Today is the awesome day of the "16 and Pregnant" marathon on MTV. Some of the episodes I have seen but I watching them again to just remind me that I should never have kids even though I'm almost twice as old as some of these... um, girls. I have a pretty good recollection of what I was like when I was sixteen, and even on a bad day I wasn't as clueless and hopeless as these people.

Cue the strange baby dream. I never blogged about the crazy ass dream I had actually being pregnant and then doing the birthings. Yeah, that was enough to fuck me up 4 life and even actually made me think about what it would be like to even WANT a baby. Yeah, that lasted for, like, five minutes and then I had to get on the phone to call my mom and tell her to NEVER let me have damn kids.

I don't know what universe these teenagers on this show are living in, but once that baby comes they are all on the same rocket back to the reality on earth. Three a.m. diaper changes, money for formula, giving up friends and social lives... How could these simple things not figure into a bitch's mind? Ahhh, the joys of judging people without being in their shoes. However, having common sense has always been my downfall. An important point being, I could never betray my parents like that. There is no way I could ever let my mother down especially after watching her struggle to raise me and my brother all by herself for the first 12 years of my life.

Now, the most critical part. How could these girls ever expect to provide for their babies? It pisses me off hardcore that they think they could ever give a newborn all of the love, affection, and attention that it takes to raise a successful child in this day and age. Hello,baby. Goodbye, mommy's wants and needs. Now get home and take care of that kid, before he rob me in 15 years.
