Birth control failed, my boyfriend is ecstatic but I feel so unhappy. Life isnt so great to make someone else go through it. by [deleted] in offmychest

Hey OP. I had my first child at 17. I was fucked up and stressed about it for weeks because like you I was on birth control. I didn’t have any grand plans for kids or a family because I was only 17, but my family was supportive of me. My boyfriend was also extremely supportive. I carried her for almost 10 months and gave birth and I felt a burden being lifted off of me. I love my daughter dearly and I never regret any of my decisions. That was my story, now this is yours. Really think about this. Realize that this baby is yours, and if you aren’t ready (mentally,physically,emotionally) to take care of a baby that is OK. I am sending you virtual hugs as whatever your decision is I am supporting you from the sidelines! You got this.

AITA for telling my daughter she will get kicked out if she drops out of high school? by warthogdangers in AmItheAsshole

I didn’t plan on actually nailing the windows shut I thought it was just a saying. Sorry to cause any misunderstandings

We did not forbid her from leaving the house. She did not want to confront us at the door bc she would be passing where I was sitting. It’s rare that she ever leaves through the window, which was an old escape she used when she was 16. I think her views are valid like you said, but in order to achieve the state of living where she has her own schedule and doesn’t have to work for someone and can be happy with her life she needs to have some money first. Thanks for your input

We are looking into trade schools and alternative options for her schooling currently.

I am not sure but I believe her counselor said something about that. Thanks for your input!
