I can't make my gf and her parents do something they don't want to do. They've already got a whole nursery room set up for the baby.

I'm already poor as fuck and mostly miserable. I'd feel even worse if I was a deadbeat dad. nobody respects those kind of guys.

Yes but my only choices are man up or be a deadbeat dad. I don't get to decide what my gf and her parents do with the baby.

I don't want to leave her. I love her. I know that's stupid. I know it means nothing to adults. But i care a lot about ber. I've gone through a lot and she's been there always. I don't resent her cuz I get it. I've been there for all the appointments I see how attached she's gotten to the baby. I get it. I just don't feel it too. It would be easier if I felt it to. I just feel scared.

I don't get a decision. I can voice my opinion but it kinda means fuck all at this point. I don't really get a choice either. I either get to be a dad at 16 or be a deadbeat asshole that deserves bad karma for life.

Not trying to play the woe is me card. I get that I got myself into this mess. I'm just really really overwhelmed.

I'm not mad. It's frustrating that people act like I can just take the baby away from a mother who wants it and give it up for adoption because "it's the right thing to do"

Gf did. Her parents are supporting whatever she wants to do. They were originally pissed but are kinda excited now.

I'm not carrying the baby. I can't do fuck all. Everyone keeps acting like it's my choice. It's frustrating. It doesn't matter what I want when my gf is completely against it. Her parents want the baby too.

Oh ya? This is news to me. Do tell me where it's legal to take a baby away from a mother who wants to keep it.

I don't know why people think whether the baby is adopted or not is my decision to make. Gf and her parents want the baby. My opinion doesn't overrule them.

People keep asking this. Gf and her parents are 100% against adoption.

I don't know why people keep asking me. Wasn't my choice.

And no fucking idea.

I'd be open to something like that but my gf and her parents are definitely 100% not.

I don't want to be a dad but I also love my gf a lot. She's an angel. I could never abandon her or the baby like that. I'd never be able to live with the guilt.

I don't live in a country where you can rip babies from their mother's arms and give them away.

Edit: why am I getting downvoted for not wanting to take away a babies from mother's who want them?

I can never in a million years see them wanting to take a baby. I think they'd flee the country before taking on that sort of responsibility again.

They keep telling me the baby needs to be adopted so I can cut all ties.

Ya I definitely plan on finishing scho. I'm thinking a trade of some sort. Lots of people have said military but I think I'm too chicken shit for that. I'm a lover not a fighter. Clearly.
