It's a trap!!!! Get you money right first IMHHO
You're right. And it's a crazy fucking notion.
Big weaknesses in my ability to properly rear offspring:
1. I don't have a "career" (salaried manager of a sandwich delivery shop working 3rd shift in the ghetto... Don't ask what I make, I have no problem saying, but you will pity me. Only upside is - barring the store closing down - I have job security.)
2. I live with my parents. They are very cool, but not financially sound. And they don't have grandkids yet despite having three adult children.
3. GF has health problems (fibromyalgia) and we both exhibit some level of substance abuse. (I have quit drinking, so I'm okay now. But I could relapse!!!)
Silver linings:
1. I trust my gf and we both want a kid. She'd make a nurturing mother.
2. She has several forms of stable income, yet doesn't work, and has her own place.
3. I have good credit and a car.
5. We both have awesome genetics.
This is really weird to post about... Too personal for my usual internet taste.
