Just when you think these kids mature a bit.

SS and SDIL do not work. They only have one car. They are going to college part time and live far away. They afford all of this due to the GI bill. They had a baby like 3-4 ish months ago. Baby has minor health issues but will be having several surgeries over the next few years.

SS just told me that DIL is pregnant again. AND they have been trying for a few months to get pregnant. GAH!!

This grates on my nerve because …
1). Even though they get decent money from the government for school and to live, they are just skating by.
2). The grand baby will need LOTS of attention in the next 2 years. With a new baby, it will be hard for them to give him the attention he needs. Yes, I know it has been done but it would be better for them to wait a few years so that he can get all the attention as he goes through these difficult times. IMHO.
3). I would assume one of them will have to drop out of school now to watch both babies. No way they ca afford a babysitter for two. Unless the government ponies up the money.
4). She is 3 DAYS pregnant. WTF? I really wanted to ask if she was just late starting her period, but I am disengaged. lol

I just looked and they just announced the pregnancy on Facebook. Jeeze loueeez! What is with people TRYING to get pregnant and knowing they can’t afford it?

I have a co-worker whose nephew is in kind of the same situation. He went to school full time and married a girl that did as well. Racked up students for both their Master's degree's. As soon as they finish school, she gets pregnant. Then pregnant again and then pregnant again. The last time with twins.

They have four kids under five.

She has never worked. All that money in student loans for nada.

He was working as a sales man; not working in the field he got his degree in. They are super broke and always borrowing money from his mommy.

I don't get it.

Ninja, if we lived in the same state, I'd swear we had the same co-worker as mine has the EXACT same story, down to the twins. Though she is related to the niece not the nephew, so it's plausible we're talking about the same kids, lol.

Baby is only 3-4 months old and they have been trying for a few months?! Did they start the second the first one was out or something?! Do they KNOW how reproduction works?!

And I want to know what 3 days pregnant means and what SDIL is using to tell that she's pregnant that early because when DH and I start trying next year, I'd love to know as soon as it happens.

*shakes head*

3 days... That's like high risk for it not to even stick... And the first trimester can always be sketchy... I don't get people... (lol, says the bio-kidless stepmom)

Heck I don't know how she knows. I did not ask. lol. All SS wanted was the congratulations and awe over his ability to reproduce again so fast. Bleck!

And he is in his element now since it is on facebook. His buddies are as dumb as he is. I actually though DIL had some smarts to her but I guess not. Well she did marry SS so there is that. lol

'Tis the season ... to gift them a Costco-sized box of condoms. Seriously. But remember to put a nice red bow on top.

My step sister insisted on borrowing money from our parents for car repairs, having the car repaired, only to have the car repossessed, then declared bankruptcy, never paid the money back, took a loan out for a new car to "rebuild her credit" and because the $3000 Subaru forester my Step Dad got for her, which was in great condition "wasn't big enough for all her kids" (of course she traded that in) THEN BIL bought a brand new truck with all the bells and whistles, bought a house and all the while she's (deliberately after 3 miscarriages) pregnant. Then, they moved into their house the same week she gave birth. A day or two after giving birth she announced she is now a "stay at home mom" to her 3 kids. Oh yeah, and less than a year later, they got married and had a huge wedding. BIL works at farm making about $50k a year. We live in NY-which makes their "lifestyle" just about impossible.

When she cries poverty to my step-dad and he falls for it I seriously want to barf. We are the same age, and for the most part I enjoy my sister but I seriously wonder about her decision making skills. Meanwhile I'm still driving the same car he co-signed for me on 5 years ago and I've got 2 payments left on the loan he took out to help me rehab my house. If I am so much as a minute late on a payment he sicks my mother on me. So needless to say, I'm very very rarely late.

My SD's 2 sons are a year and 2 weeks apart. Her ex was in the army at the time (not long and not making much $) and SD did not work at all (still doesn't).

DH was not thrilled when she told us she was pregnant (either time, she was only 17 the first time) and I couldn't help myself, I asked her if she knows how pregnancy happens. Turns out, she does.

She now would like to have a girl with her convict boyfriend. She is just downright dumb.

But hey, it's no skin off of her nose, the government will support her and her kids, right?
