Lower class people and having more kids than you can afford...

[cindylou]

Motherhood has nothing in the world to do with any knowledge I have of in vitro fertilization or anything else. I got pregnant the old fashioned way at the ripe old age of 19.

No, housemusic, I get curious about shit and start Googling or Wikipedia-ing stuff, or (horror of horrors) I'll crack a book or read a news magazine or go to the library and see what people are writing about. I watch freaking PBS or listen to NPR, both of which are freely available. When I see a word I've never heard before I look it up in a dictionary. Everything I've learned is pretty much the result of my curiosity.

Ignorance is nothing to be proud of or to flaunt. Do yourself a favor, get a library card and start it. Brains can get flabby and atrophy just as muscles. And here's a little secret, dear boy, your brain will take you much further in life than your muscles ever will.

lol to be honest - thats what I had to do. I knew in vitro was a fertility treatment but I had no idea which one so I googled it right quick before I answered his question.

well i think that the egg is from the mother and the sperm is either from the father or from someone else.

So the kid would more thank likely know their parents

but i dont know crap about it. Hopefully i wont ever have to know anything about fertility treatments EVER!

I'm surprised that a 25 year old would be willing to go through this process...especailly one who already has kids...I mean they shoot you full of hormones, everyday, you'd think they'd try for a year first at least.

I think you still only have a 50-60% chance of it even working after all of that.

yea you are right.... well i hope she has her own good reasons for doing it...

 

[musclemom]

well that makes you that much better than me then MM.... Because when it comes to reading, or researching i am lazy... going to the library is probably never going to happen, just being honest... I am going to start school again first time in 7-8 years and it scares the shit out of me... maybe that will change me? but right now, it still doesnt unjustify getting on me for not knowing the term "vitro" because apparently i am not the only one....

Brains are much like muscles in a lot of ways. Start using yours, stretch it, force it to work and it will get easier. Start reading books NOW for pleasure before you go back to school. If you have no joy for reading or research then you are going to be one sad puppy in school. Just like any other endeavor, you need a passion to learn to excell at it.

Why bother going to school at all if you have no love of knowledge?

I have plenty of love for knowledge, we are not talking about math or world history here, we are talking about fertilization, If maybe i was in a case that i was involved in that subject then yes i would of done my required research... but i knew about test tube babies because ive heard it before just never the term "Vitro"... And to answear your question, in this life we all live in, without an education you arent going very far in life.. So we can all agree me registering for college is a step towards the right path? regardless if i like to study or read books, because i dont? but trust me i have done way harder things in my life, and Like anything else that ive been through in and out the Marine Corps, I will adapt and overcome

To think there are people in America who would LOVE to have a baby, and go through paperwork hell and thousands of dollars to adopt a baby overseas (adopting in us is impossible) and they spit out babies (it is expected in mexican culture) like it's a fad.

If she gets preggers you should push her down the stairs onto a pile of wire coat hangers for shits and giggles.

I refuse on account of not liking to pull the same prank more than once.

I like your attitude!

 

[musclemom]

lmao!!!! @ dear boy

I'm going on 44. You are, exactly, one year and four days older than my son (fucking saggitarius).

You are a "dear boy" in my book, get over yourself.

 

[Beaverscratch]

hahaha "rhymes with "shmushorshin" lmao Bro that is a very common thing in the usa, im sure there are thousands and thousands of young girls in that situation, she is lucky to find a man to marry her with 4 kids... thats tough... what is the vitro process?

I believe that to be on welfare, every woman should be required to have a birth control shot at the time of picking up her check in person. Now if you are just "poor" but are holding down a job and want more kids, that its a stupid idea,but if it makes you happy go ahead as long as you are going to be resposible.

My kids are the most amazing, life changing thing that has every happened to my wife and I. I got a vasectomy a few years back and I regret it. I am fortunate to be making a good living at the moment,but if that were to take a turn for the worse, I would still want my right to have more children if I so desired. If the government (TAXES) were going to pay for my kids, I wouldnt even consider having them,.

Why don't you ask her about it rather then speculate? That way, you can understand the context of her situation. For example, I speculate that you're a racist. I'm going to ask you about it at my 10 year anniversary here right before I kill myself.
