Am i too broke to hold a infant?
im contained by that situatuion right now..i cant find a job my bf works part time at a quick food place..and i have a kid and im pregnant..but if you dont have a problem you can always attain help..foodstamps whatever it takes..if you dont want to be on welfare..you can be on WIC which give you free formula and food for your child until age 5..and when buying things...get hand me downs and shop at garage sales and thrift stores..thats what i do =]
I'm broke and I had a baby, a lot of women who hang around end up regretting it.
Money is not the most important thing to consider anyway. A little one isn't expensive, It's all of the things that you don't need anyway that are expensive. I co-sleep, cloth diaper, breastfeed and baby-wear and anything I buy (clothes, etc) are second hand or on clearance. So my 11 month weak has barely cost anything so far and we're planning to have another one :)
Well first of adjectives i don't think anybody is ever ready for a baby.. its a authenticity that you only understand when you have somewhat one in your arms, and although life isn't perfect who's ever is... you other find a way to do what you think you cant even though you might not see a way immediately i can honestly say you think differently when you are a parent.
As far as money... i know WIC helps pregnant women and babies near formula so you should look into that,
And maybe you can apply for medic - aid for your pregnancy. I got medicaid while i was pregnant beside my son and didn't pay for anything.
Also you don't always need top brands for example Parents choice diapers are lately as good as luvs diapers only parents choice cost $6.
Same with the wipe I found huggies sucked! and parents choice where great $2.50 again cheaper brand.
This is things you learn when you have a child and you want to put together your money stretch.
Do what everyone else does who requests a baby/doesn't know when to stop, and can't afford them... use the tax payers.
they make all your dreams come true.
if you cant afford a car, you dont buy one. if you cant afford a baby, you dont have one. have a child when you have no money to support the child is socially irresponsible, and is a very selfish article to do. bringing a child into the world because you want one even though you cant support for it is a very self centered thing to do. You should wait till you can impart your child the best.
I'm the exact same situation as you. It just seemed like it would never be the right time and I wait a long time so we finally started trying. Still trying after 2 years. We basically waited until we could get some insurance since I needed treatment anyway and would never regard as of getting pregnant with no insurance. I don't work and my husband makes enough money to remuneration bills and everything, but we struggle sometimes just like you. We'll make sure our infant has everything they need. I don't have a problem giving up things for myself. Money isn't everything and a child doesn't involve everything that's out there to be happy. I would say if you're all set and you think you can cover the essentials then go ahead. I feel the same way as you, like if we kept waiting for the "right time" it would never come.
