be me 21
get girlfriend 19 pregnant
tell parents
they go on a pretentious holier than thou rant about it how I need to step up and find a real job like they say they did so I can’t support my new family and make serious sacrifices and when I asked what sacrifices the best they could come up with is weekly fast food trips I get a pizza every Friday which I guess to my parents is more than a deserve for working 40 to 50 hours a week then top it off by saying they will not help and it’s time for me to be a man
find out that I’ll just about 20 grand just to have the baby in the hospital
ask my parents about it and they said insurance covered most of it and that I don’t have the option because I didn’t “work hard enough” so I’ll have to pay up front I tell them I can’t afford that and they suggest a loan and if I’m responsible I’ll pay it off in a year
talk to girlfriend about it her parents aren’t thrilled either and we both decided to abort it because we simply can’t afford it on top of not wanting to bring another life to live a shittier life than us
take her up to the abortion clinic a week later she cries in the car for thirty minutes and then we go in and after a hour she comes out I pay the eight hundred dollar bill and we go get Wendy’s then go home
month later parents ask about how much girlfriend is and I tell them she aborted it because we could not afford it and they both freaked out and had a meltdown sobbing about I could have made it if I just worked 80 hour weeks and how much they suffered for me and how could I kill my child and that I’ll regret it forever and some other incoherent garbage
