I have mixed feelings about this news. I just feel for his girlfriend and him. He is twenty years old and she is eight-teen. I know that she will be a good mom. I just wish they were able to have more time together as a couple starting their life before having a baby. I really do hope my brother in law steps up to his responsibilities. I feel bad for her because he can have such a bad attitude.
He has a lot of growing up to do.When we are all together she doesn't like to play cards because he fusses at her and puts her down if they lose, or if she is not playing her hand right. I try to make things easier the last time we were together by having her be my partner. He often gets angry and would quit if he is losing.
Being a parent is a big responsibility. I just hope that she is able to still reach for her goals and that if there relationship does end that she will be able to find someone who treats her good.

Hi Dominique25, Thank you for this comment. I think that this is so very true, I understand where you are coming from when you stated that you wish that they had soem more time as couple for each other since they are so young, This is why I feel we have to think hard before we get together with each other. I feel that a baby is a blessing and i know that they will get through it and it will be fine for them.!!!:)

I agree that babies are ALWAYS a blessing. They do not choose to come into this world. I feel sad that the parents are sometimes not ready to take on such huge responsibility. I hope this boy will decide to become a great dad for this unborn baby.

I really feel bad when someone so young got into this situation. Even if they're both rich, the fact that both of them still needs a lot of growing up like you said, it's still won't be easy for them. Compare to mature and ready individuals who set up their mind and soul for having a family, these kids still want or need more fun for themselves. I've seen a lot of these situation in my place and it's usually the girls who suffers in the end.

Having a baby is indeed a big responsibility. I am not in the position to judge your brother in law but I do hope that everything will work out well for your sister and for both of them for the benefit of thier upcoming baby. Perhaps the baby me even be the reason for that change. So just pray and hope for the best.

Hope that your brother in law will grow mature and realize that he is not getting younger.
Though they're still young and yah, I agree with you, wish they could have enjoyed each other before having a baby (but it's already there)
She's still very young to be a mother too- she needs everyone's help and support.

life is now difficult so having a family is a bit scary. Parenting is a also difficult. I wonder how they will be able to survive. But having a baby is something new and exciting. The baby brings joy to the house.
The baby should also make your brother in law maturer and for sure, the baby will.
with the support of the family things will go well.

You seem to be a very good person. And I think you are the best person that can help her in her early stages of pregnancy as well as give her insights on how married life is all about.

I hope he does step up and makes some changes for his baby because that kind of attitude not really a good for little baby. Some having a baby before you ready makes you ready for the things you didn't think you could be ready for. But you are right not everyone is going to be responsible for a life they've created.
