I have a spin on this, what if this changes him for the better. What if they survive and it makes him a better person. And if this never happened he might have been lost for a long time (imagine a 40 year old bartender/surfer/plays in a band)....... Maybe the problem is people who think they can coast for years than flip the switch and grow up..........Responsibility and accountability don't just appear when you make good money and are a certain age.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/03/03 12:02PM >>> Another Monday... Grrr... Just found out my 21 year old cousin is going to become a father in 7 months. He's not married, surfs, works intermittently as a physical trainer and is in a band (all of which is nice but pays very little). The mother (who is incredibly nice) goes to school at the community college, but is far (about 3 years) away from having a degree. He lives with his Dad outside Los Angeles and the cost of living there is insane. In other words, he's probably not ready for this and headed for some real-world situations. Too many similarities to my own life. I fell in love at that age, my girlfriend and I had a kid, then after a few tough years she ran off and I became a single father. I know this is not exactly the same situation, but... he just doesn't seem to realize this is going to be a real uphill battle. Neither did I back in 1996. The only thing that kept me from going bust was the insane job market, but he's not a programmer and the bubble is burst. While I am saying this knowing I did the same thing, why do some people insist on doing everything the hardest way they possibly can?
