He's gonna walk her down the aisle and I will be SOBBING.DAVIE, Fla. The kid is 16 now and just got his license. She stayed single for years until she found a man who treated her and the kid well and now she is getting married. The kid had behavioral issues in school but since she was a single mom she qualified for a lot of extra programs for him and she worked those programs for everything they would give her. At that point she saved enough to buy a house for her and the kid. She had moved into section 8 housing and saved money until she had to move out because she made too much. Now she makes more than me, a person who went to college right after high school (no bitterness there because I'm a lazy person with not much motivation and I'm fine where I am lol). Worked her way up at a company until they told her she wouldn't be promoted anymore without a degree so she got the degree. My friend got pregnant in high school with a shit bag dad and honestly did everything as well as she could. Yes, a lot of it was hard work, putting in the time and care, being smart and patient but I also say we'd never be here today (financially, having met someone as willing to work on hard things, our children being healthy) without a large dose of luck as well. When I announced the pregnancy ten years ago several people bluntly asked if he would even stick around for the baby, definitely thinking we'd certainly never end up married happily ! ![]() I once threw a fork at him, seriously, it was bad those early parenting days. I can truly, honestly say that I could never imagine us getting a divorce - we have such a healthy relationship and it didn't come easy. We have always put importance in saving, not living above our means, raising kids the best we can, and working out any problems within the relationship. Now he makes less but still do well enough. ![]() We've been together 12 years now, have a second child (which we waited to have/he was planned so no second quick unplanned pregnancy which is typical of young parents), I am a SAHM and he was making over 100k a year prior to last years shit show. We were broke as a joke and not ready to be parents, especially with someone we'd only known for a couple of years when we didn't even know ourselves. We'd been dating barely two years when she was born. I was an older young mom (just turned 19) and my boyfriend was 20. ![]()
