I'm sick of seeing idiots who are almost children themselves having kids. It's sending me insane, and annoying every eventual-Jewish-mother instinct I have. I'm not saying every young mother is a bad parent, plenty of them are wonderful at it. Unfortunately, it seems the majority are too stupid to take care of themselves, let alone a child.
Example number one: Erin, one of my boyfriend's "friends" (more like an annoying skank he hang out with because he's too polite to break all ties with her). She's 19, and has a daughter who's a little over a year old. She's almost nightly leaving the kid with friends or family so she can go out clubbing or whatever at short notice. She hardly sees the father, who lives about an hour from Adelaide, and has a regular procession of dodgy boyfriends. Her current guy is 20, with a kid himself who he lost all custody of because he was such a neglectful father, and who had his drivers' license taken away from him. She never went to university, has had a string of lousy jobs and spends half her time unemployed.
Example number two: a random 15-year-old who'd gotten herself knocked up, who I was forced to make polite conversation with at a party. A gem from the conversation, word for word: "I'm gonna go out an party an' evrything. I'm not givin' up mah life for the baby. If that makes me a bad mother, fine." My God, it took every ounce of willpower I had not to slap her across the face.
Oy. It just breaks the heart to know idiots like that are having kids they don't deserve, while there are decent, loving couples who are unable to conceive.
