Riku3220 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It's really not something to be proud of...Sure it is.You get your own television show and MTV pays for pretty much anything you could ever need to take care of a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkmutt Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Three words: Toddlers & Tiaras. Especially the parents of those kids.I find the entire premise of that show horrifying. Is there anyone that it could possibly appeal to aside from pedophiles? :mellow:I have found that parents with young children like that show. Please note this does not mean that all parents with young children like the show. TBH TLC's programming has gone south in the last few years.

I realize not everyone wants it, but it's not something to be ashamed of in any situation.

Nomrombom Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 A baby at 16 is not something to be proud of IMO. It's fine to be happy about it, but proud? Ehh. PM me for fitocracy invite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It'd depend largely on if it was on purpose or accidental, and if the parent can actually take care of it. My opinion, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It is possible for two people aged 16 to bring up a baby. It might not be the cleverest thing to do but it's not exactly treason either. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly possible to bring one up, and you might as well be happy about it. I agree that it's often not an ideal situation but it doesn't necessitate being in mourning.

Duff Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Having a baby in general is definitely something to be proud of. In what situation it is born changes everything though. I won't start talking about my beliefs, since they'd probably not please people. :P | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I won't start talking about my beliefs, since they'd probably not please people. :P That's not always a bad thing ;) Though talking about any sort of belief usually does not end well on this forum.

K4ylan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm with Riku on this. Most girls are not ready to take care of a baby at 16, so if they have to act like idiots so Mtv will give them some money for their baby, I say let them. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 A parent should not be proud of raising a child in a terrible household environment. If they remotely cared about the child, they'd do other things to fix their lives, not act like idiots in hopes of MTV noticing them. :\ | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4ylan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Well they probably don't have the tools necessary to raise their child, so they'll need money, which MTV is glad to give them. Sure, you'll be giving up your dignity, but it's worth it. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2PM Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 They should be grateful they got lucky. Most aren't as lucky. On topic...This new friend's suggestions popup on facebook.

Sure, you'll be giving up your dignity, but it's worth it.Again, they shouldn't be proud of having to act like idiots in order to raise their child. And like Halo said, many aren't lucky enough to get onto MTV. So they're wasting their time acting like idiots. @Maze: My parents are like that, except they have good reason to be. My little brother stays up until like 3am playing video games and then sleeps until like, 2 in the afternoon. We'll just say that he doesn't get many of his chores done in his sleep. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: I woke up late and forgot to walk the dog this morning. "Oh, well he must have been too busy on his video games to walk the dog"A few months back I had my door taken off its hinges because I didn't hear my dad knocking on the door. He somehow blamed the fact that I didn't hear him 2 floors up while listening to music on video games, and decided that a reasonable punishment would be to take the door. :wall: Get back here so I can rub your butt.

sees_all1 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Having to write function stubs for an API that's half in French and uncomplete. whatAt work I have a specification that details all the tests we need to be able to run on our product at the factory.The specification was adopted from an older one; my company is a French company hence the French. I need to write "stubs" - incomplete functions - so that they can be easily implemented at a later date by a different individual. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
