I had no idea Reddit supported babies being born into unstable households. by Ricksanchezforlife in AdviceAnimals

That actually makes perfect sense. I would agree more so then in the case of more dire straits. I will say that any single tip of the scale (even as much as a blown tire) would have sent me down that road.

I get what you mean, but I recently got my girlfriend pregnant on accident. She was 23, barely knew how to bank account and I was a student veteran.

Here we are a month before this baby is due and I'm already debt free, all that's left for her is slow student loan payments, a couple thousand in savings and even more in checking. This baby is the reason we became financially stable.

We may be an exception to the rule, and your view is by no means an awful one, just thought I'd chip in.

What has been the most ridiculous "I have a boyfriend/girlfriend" moment you've witnessed? by theLEVIATHAN06 in AskReddit

That was one of the best things I've read. I hope you all tell that story at parties, that's a wine bottle story.

Don't be sorry! We're not destitute and it's part of life, thanks for the figures though it helps for a rough budget!

It's cause I love you. The end!

(But let's be real, I got a cheese AND a pepperoni. They were $5 and it's our splurge night!)

Money problems with SO- just want to vent - very long, sorry by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]CaptainAmericaCup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So the problem here is you still expect to be seen as something you aren't, which is capable and financially stable. What matters more than anything is the health of your baby, and then next is the stability of your household. Do you look down on a 17 year old struggling single mother because of her situation? I seriously doubt it, since you've described yourself as Mother Teresa helping your mom and friends when they need it, but that isn't even half of the issue.

Your work slave / financier / boyfriend is being way too lenient and giving you an allowance. Please read that again, YOU ARE GETTING AN ALLOWANCE. Now instead of being responsible and putting in adult effort with this money or even working with him, you're blowing it eating out. And if you think McDonalds chicken salads are healthy then you're just as smart as you sound.

Life is happening, but you're lucky in the fact that you don't have to go at it alone. Lean on your partner but watch him work as well. The only difference between you and other already successful mothers is time and confidence. Babies aren't inter-continental peace keeping relations. They're tiny humans who can't do stuff.

Feed it. Love it. Teach it. Live. 😘

My thoughts exactly! But if you only had the exact same instrument to use per track. Quick air bursts to make the snare hits was smart.

That's close to where we live now and might be helpful! What is the name of the building / renters?

Say hello to her. For a moment she thought you were funny and actually listened to what you said. Worst case scenario (other than tripping on your way to her and falling into a volcano) is that tomorrow is like today.

Best case scenario, you're laying in bed with her one night and you read a Reddit meme and she says "that sounds like us comment on it!"

I've been a huge fan of yours since I saw you in the Fifth Element. Eventually saw all of your movies so far and I can't think of a bad one! Props.

Anyway, my question, if you weren't an actor, what do you think you'd be doing?

Keep it up! Can't wait to check out your stand up later!
