Agree with all of the above about how short-sighted she’s being.
I was a very young mum too and my kids were well loved and provided for. I would get compliments from strangers on public transport about what a lovely mum I was, reading and playing I Spy on our little outings on buses and trains. They were well routined, well dressed, well fed, and it was a doddle really. I would have loved a third, but didn’t have another bedroom and couldn’t afford a bigger car and could only hold two little hands to cross the road, so it got put on standby. I’d had them so young I had plenty of years left ahead of me to build a base to welcome a third baby later down the line.
Well Christ, am I glad I didn’t have that third and chose not to later on, because as my kids grew so did their problems and so did their needs and suddenly what felt like a doddle with little ones became me drowning in responsibility I could never have imagined back when we were just baking and reading and looking for bugs in the garden.
Three close together as babies and toddlers is very, very different to three close together as teenagers and young adults. How does she suppose she’ll be affording to get three kids on the road one after the other? How will she manage space for homework when all her kids have GCSE and college work? What happens if 1 or 3 of them want to go to university, how will she provide? How does she suppose she’ll manage all of the extracurriculars and essential residential trips as part of their learning through the years? How will she afford to give them all pocket money so they can learn to manage money? What happens when they need adult sized clothes that aren’t cheap anymore? How will she support their emotional needs, when she has 3 teenagers close in age going through traumas and peer pressure and friendship and relationship difficulties? All of those kids are going to grow into the same kind of maladjusted adult she is. Work shy, broken, desperate and needy, insecure, and grifting.
This won’t even be the last baby, mark my words. This boyfriend who hasn’t even moved in yet will flee as soon as the reality kicks in, and she’ll be on to honey trapping the next one.
(balls did she not know she would have a third baby so soon when she bought that car! She claims to have already miscarried Kyle’s baby and continued to have unprotected sex, what did she think would happen?!)
