Father-to-be needing advice

[lorit]

@bornagain95 On those salaries, they're going to have to do it in the public health system. If they're in the Western Cape, that's likely to not be terrible. I can't speak for elsewhere.

@bornagain95 You're living in lala land if you think a medical aid is going to take on someone who is already pregnant AND cover all the costs. It's too late.

@maxbbbb Pre existing condition, so they'll charge more, they will not cover all the costs. OP is fucked, that's why I said first things first. Mr Jerome Lala Land.

@shelly48 First of all bro good luck. Get a second job if you can. What are your plans with childcare when she has to go back to work?

@shelly48 Get a vasectomy and an abortion.

 

[perplexedperry]

@shelly48 Get an abortion

 

[shelly48]

@perplexedperry Are you serious?! That is in no way an option. Especially not at 5 month into the pregnancy already.

 

[perplexedperry]

@shelly48 I guess it's too far along. Didn't read that bit. Rule of thumb is that if you can't afford a kid, don't have one.

 

[shelly48]

@perplexedperry It's not like we planned for a 4th kid to be on the way. We had a slip-up and the protection failed.

 

[perplexedperry]

@shelly48 That's where abortion comes in. You have chosen to keep this baby whether you planned it or not.

 

[shelly48]

@perplexedperry Because neither of us agree with abortion, and by the time we found out she was pregnant, it was already way past 12 weeks, so it wasn't an option.

@shelly48 Honestly if you didn't have a kid on the way the best advice would be to step out and go buy milk.

Tough situation. Another user mentioned grants and so on, get on that asap.

@shelly48 Yoo, just when I think I have it rough, lmao.
