I’m 15 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. I’m also young (18), so this wasn’t planned or expected. When my boyfriend’s parents found out, they asked for a paternity test. On my parents’ advice, I agreed to it. Even though I have nothing to hide, it still felt humiliating.
Oh, but being a single mother at that age is great for career prospects yeah? Young fathers have as much responsibility towards their children as young mothers - saying that 30% of income is too much to pay? Wtf? How much of her income is the mother expected to pay to support her child?
I have experienced this. It is not a hypothetical. I was physically disabled while riding a bicycle to work. I had my business tanked by these shits. I had my commercial driver’s licence ruined. I’ve been all but killed by this issue. There is far more nuance here. Don’t be an ass.
It is not even my fault. She was a cheater.
