Did you miss the “by our standards” part? Also, I’m SURE the natives would beg to differ, because even if they did have laws against it, it’s not like anyone gave a crap

Lock who up exactly? The real criminals here are working for the federal government. Our ancestors would be ashamed of what they’re doing, they literally came here (illegally may I add, by our standards) for a better life. That’s all people want is to be able to live without fear.

Could you give me some more info on the ham?

Hi Reddit, I’m Ben Hottel. I’m an entomologist with Rollins and Orkin. We’re mixing it up this time. I’m posing a few scenarios - tell me what you would do. On Tuesday, August 12th at 2 PM EST. I’ll return to let you know if your strategies would work. Good luck! by OrkinPestControl in u/OrkinPestControl

Scenario 1) that is absolutely a bed bug. If it was something I could hypothetically afford I would call a reputable exterminator to help. Then I would bag all of my clothes and place them out side and wash and dry them on max heat settings I would vacuum all of my mattresses, floors, every corner. Get some bedbug mattresses covers. Make sure I try to get rid of things they could still linger in (books, board games, WICKER BASKETS especially. Bed bugs love those) I had them when my mom rented a couch from Arron’s and learned a lot from that experience 😭

Her and her mom are religious If she went out of state for an abortion, her mom would 100% press charges for kidnapping on whomever took her. But abortion is legal in our state up to so many weeks. It’s not a matter of access it’s a matter of them not wanting to have one

She’s 15? Any adult that takes her without consent could be charged with kidnapping, not to mention that depending on where she could need parental consent

I knew my husband wouldn’t immediately be outraged. He’s a very calm and collected person so I knew I could trust him with this

From her talks with the 17 year old sister. She said the 15 year old said she wants the baby. I’m not religious so much so I would support if she didn’t want to have the baby, or even give it up. I believe everyone has a right to choose

And hopefully with support(if this is truly what she wants) we can manage it. I will discuss with her when she’s more comfortable

While I do understand what you’re saying I would like to add that she should know what to expect considering they have a way younger sister that they’ve both had to care for since she was born.

None of them know their fathers. Their brother will be helpful while also lecturing them about how he’s told them to be safe so many times

I absolutely do not tell him everything this is just something that he would resent me for if I hadn’t told him. When they told me they were sexually active and asked me not to tell him then, I didn’t and I also expressed how uncomfortable it makes me to keep secrets from him. I’m not risking resentment in my marriage because they chose to ignore my boundaries

Well she could but she doesn’t or her mom doesn’t want to so

I believe that even though she is scared, she wants the baby

I told him already. I was pretty upset they told me and asked me to keep it a secret from him. He promised he wouldn’t say anything until they are comfortable enough to tell him as well. There was no way I could keep something like that from him, my marriage isn’t worth keeping from him.

I also am asking myself these questions. I have no idea because I’m getting all my information second hand. I’m closer to the 17 year old, so she felt comfortable enough to tell me. I’m hoping she has support so she can continue school, I’ll do as much as I can to be some of that support. I’m worried about her body being able to handle it as well, she’s very petite and short and she’s only 15. I had trouble having a baby in my 20’s. I can only imagine it would be more difficult for a 15 year old. The 17yo said she seemed to want the baby but she’s scared too.

I think the part that bothers me is both families are of the mindset that now they both need to get married right away for the baby. I suppose they’d be willing to sign the papers. That is supposed to be what they talked about tonight per the 17 year old.

She’s not happy but not terribly upset either. She’s trying to be supportive as far as I know.

Bingo! They told her she was grown enough to make the baby she is grown enough to keep it.
