Pregnant teen needs help!

My honest opinion? These two need their asses kicked, pronto...especially your irresponsible cousin who is smoking while pregnant.

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do except to wait for her to have this baby and WHEN she turns out to be a neglectful, abusive mother, turn her in to Child Protective Services so that they can take her baby from her and give it to people who deserve to have a child. These two do not.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Probably the best thing that could happen to her is if everyone let her reap what she sowed and forced her to fend for herself. You want to act like and adult and engage in adult activities? Fine. You take care of yourself like an adult and stop mooching off the generosity of others. Right now she's having her cake and eating it, too. It's just silly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Are you saying that because she has a child no man will want her? Because I can tell you from personal experience that won't be the case. And the old "even a bad father is better than no father" mindset is wrong. I agree that children need fathers, but if the father is nothing but a bad role-model to the child, the child would be better off just spending a lot of time with an uncle or a grandfather.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It doesn't take a lot of honor to knock someone up. From the way you've described Chris, it would probably be best for the child to spend as much time with the honorable men in your family as possible. Just being a sperm donor doesn't make anyone worthy of rearing a child. Until he grows up, he's probably going to be nothing but a negative influence on this kid.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think what Sass is saying is that someone needs to tell your idiot cousin that they're going to report her ass if she endangers her child. It's great that all of you have decided this amongst yourselves, but make sure she knows what's coming, too. It might give her the slap in the face she desperately needs.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Look, I had my daughter when I was 18. I fully admit that I was still a child myself, but once you have a baby YOUR CHILDHOOD IS OVER. She needs to stop acting like an immature brat and do the right thing for her baby. Anything else is inexcusable, I don't care how young she is.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
