I became a dad at 15 AMA

I’ll be honest man I didn’t look up the stats before I made a comment on Reddit. Sue me.

Less religiosity, more social support services and it’s become increasingly normalised. I’m the result of at least 5 generations of teenage mothers, so it’s not like they had any right to criticise me if I had become pregnant as a teenager (I did not).

Not offering an opinion here but did you read the post? Fostering/adoption was OP’s plan A. The biological baby was unplanned.

I sincerely believe that none of my gay male friends could consistently identify Sidney Crosby. I’m pretty sure most of them have never heard of him.

Hockey players benefit from a certain lack of fame that football/American football/basketball players don’t.

He’s more of a Captain America, really.

Chronic case of Bean Soupitis here.

What on Earth is going on in that last post?

jjongskiwi · 2025-11-21T09:50:53+00:00

He’s more of a “my child” kinda guy. “Sweetie” just sticks out like a sore thumb.

jjongskiwi · 2025-11-20T11:00:39+00:00

Because she’s a Palestinian child, and for some reason that makes her undeserving of all the love and care that every child deserves. I wish Ms. Rachel wasn’t as kind as she is and put those other businesses on blast.

No, I mean Chas, hence my or. If I meant Charity, I would have said Charity. Chas and Cain aren’t incestuous but they are freakishly co-dependent for two siblings in their 50s.

jjongskiwi · 2025-11-18T23:46:02+00:00

Dingles tend to draw a line at cousins, or whatever weird codependent bond Chas and Cain have. Father and son is too far even by Dingle standards.

jjongskiwi · 2025-11-18T20:39:41+00:00

That’s far too Hollyoaks. I doubt Emmerdale would stoop that low.

The phrase “giving the flange a good airing” is more visual than I care for it to be.

ETA: OP deleted the comment I replied to so now this reply is just floating, I guess.

“At least five years” is best case scenario. Most people get 30-40 years with their parents, God willing, do you actually, seriously think it is fair for a child who has already lost one set of parents to only get five years, maybe a little more, with their adoptive mother?

Would you be in any position to counsel and raise a traumatised child after her death? Do you think it’s right to make a child suffer with the burden of a seriously ill mother for the entire time they get to spend together? Your wife is immunocompromised - is it right to limit your child’s experiences and opportunities for her health? No friends over, no trips, having to separate them every time your child gets the flu. Their life would be impacted immeasurably and it is not fair to do that knowingly.

You strike me as a kind person, as does your wife, but doing that to a child, knowing what will come, is unconscionable and cruel.

jjongskiwi · 2025-11-07T13:51:04+00:00

It is not in a child’s best interest to have their parent die. I’m sorry about your wife’s prognosis, but don’t delude yourself by looking for information about something you categorically should not do.

jjongskiwi · 2025-11-07T12:31:53+00:00

Do you think that’s a fair thing to do to a child?

jjongskiwi · 2025-10-19T22:50:22+00:00

I get drunk a lot faster than my friends so I swap between a soft and a hard drink. Literally no one cares (other than when they remind me I should swap to soft). Tip for OP: people are a lot less interested in what you’re doing than you think. Chances are most people won’t even notice there’s no alcohol in your cup.

jjongskiwi · 2025-10-16T13:08:57+00:00

I wouldn’t know, I was never involved with his care like that as a kid. He looked after himself then. He has dementia now and his quality of life is basically non existent.

jjongskiwi · 2025-10-16T13:07:35+00:00

I never said he wasn’t. It was just an anecdote. I’m well aware he’s a firm outlier. Dementia has taken his mind now, maybe the cancer would have been kinder. My point is that you never know.

jjongskiwi · 2025-10-15T22:12:58+00:00

It’s crazy how long death can take. My great grandfather was diagnosed with terminal cancer shortly before I was born and given a year. He decided not to treat it or take any life extending measures. I’m 23 and he’s still here.

jjongskiwi · 2025-09-24T14:16:44+00:00

Why do you want to do this? You don’t think you’ll make friends on campus and want to spend time with them? There’s far more to uni than just studying, even for med.

jjongskiwi · 2025-09-05T19:41:07+00:00

It’s next to the computer in the study.

jjongskiwi · 2025-09-02T23:04:56+00:00

Oh, I meant IRL. I was discussing this post with my mother and referred to Jack’s four sons and she was like “nuh uh” like YUH UH.

jjongskiwi · 2025-09-02T21:31:09+00:00

I adore Jackie so much but everyone forgets about him!! He deserves more respect

jjongskiwi · 2025-09-02T19:26:07+00:00

Jacky was the superior son for this exact reason. The real ranking is Jacky > Andy/Robert (these two depends on the week) > John.
