I see a minivan in your future....
I'm just picking. I realize that you are young and this looks like a tremendous problem for you at the moment but any child brought into the world is a great thing, so I offer my congratulations.
Just a bit of advice. Take it or leave it because I don't know your entire situation.
It appears that you are going to man up for this, good deal. I can appreciate any person that wants to do the right thing in a challenging situation. I only caution you to be careful before making a decision like getting married. It might seem like the right thing to do, but IMHO getting married over a child is not the right thing. There is a good chance both of you will end up miserable and there is no way that is good for your child. So make sure marriage is the right thing "FOR YOU" before jumping in that direction. If you don't get married, make sure you are a proper father to that kid.
Also, start making a plan. How are you going to support this child (and the mother). How are you going to set your family up for future success. How much help are you going to need from your parents and potential inlaws. Think it through carefully and then approach them for advice on the matter. This might be a challenging situation but you CAN make it work if you plan and work hard at it. My little brother had his first son when he was 18 (his wife was 17). It took a while but now he does fairly well for himself and his three kids. So you can make it work.
Best wishes for you and your family.Comment

yeah i am young but think that we are both ready and up the the challenge, we both have graduated college, are both working full time jobs and think we will be financially stable by the time the baby comes, i have alot of credit card debt right now but we are both paying if off to get it to 0 by the time the baby comes, as for help from the inlaws, we are going to try and not ask them for any financial help, we are going to try and do this thing alone, but as first time parents i know we will both need advice as we go. As far as getting married, we were already engaged and were planning to get married first but since the baby is already here we will have the baby then worry about getting married laterOriginally posted by Sgt Beavis View Post

My son turned 2 in Oct. and let me tell ya , there are gonna be some hard times buy its worth it . I thought my life was pretty good and full before but I had no idea how much I didn't have until he came along . Everything means so much more when you get to see things thru there eyes . You will gain a new appreciation for your parents and understand them so much beter . You will loose alot of sleep and feel unsure in some situations but you will figure it out . The first 6 months is ruff but it smooths out . You will be suprised how well you can run on little sleep and be happy to due so . You will be so different but still you and you will smile a whole lot more . I have to tell you to be very aware of what is going on with your girl because she is gonna need your help bigtime . Try to go to as many doc visits as you can . You will learn alot and it helps you keep a clear head when things are going on and know what to do while she is a wreck . It's time to find out the differance between a man and a dad . Welcome to the club , your gonna be a lifer .Big Rooster RacingComment
