My sister's ex-brother-in-law's daughter is one of the most ignorant, spontaneously stupid people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
She's 20something, 22 or 23 I believe. When she was 18, she had a kid with a man who was pretty much a "bad-boy" drug addict. Her son is, surprisingly, very smart for his age and one of the most adorable children I've seen. And I don't care much for children. They're snotty and smell funny and annoy me so bad my ears fall off. But not this little one. My sister is his godmother, which is... a little odd, but nice.
She, the mother, however, didn't learn.
She was dating this guy (Mexican, and her dad is rather racist toward them so of course he was not happy at all). He has no job, still lives with his parents, and was supposed to be going into the army or something. His parents won't let him stay home alone.
I don't care what race you are - if you're a bum and your parents don't trust you home alone, you need to get your shit together because when they die, you're screwed. Royally.
But, she didn't care. "I love him sooooooooo so much! Oh, he makes me so happy, blah blah BLAH!"
They decided to get married. A courthouse deal, since, um, she works at Wal Mart and he has no job. She was so excited and happy and couldn't wait.
It's 6 weeks later, she is 3 months pregnant with his kid, and guess what? She wants a divorce.
As my sister has been saying about everything - you make CONCIOUS CHOICES. You should think things through fully before you make a decision.
She still acts like a twelve year old, too. How she acts and by her pictures, she reminds me of when I was twelve. I've come a long way, but clearly she just can't let go.
Also, she can't even spell "marriage"... "MARIDGE" is incorrect, I'm sorry. A first grader can spell better than you.
I don't feel sorry for her. Not one bit. My sister has some heart and said it's sad, but I don't think so. It's hilarious. Well, it is sad that people are actually dumb enough to do this kind of thing... which is why I can't stand humanity much anymore... but she made the choice.
Years ago, there were arranged marriages and even if you were unhappy, you stayed in it. Then, you courted. It was all serious. Now you date for fun and marry whoever you "love" at the time. I guess, with technology advancing and society changing rules and standards all the time, it was inevitable, but it's become something to conform to. If your parents aren't divorced or never have been, they must be really old and some kind of stupid mutant. I won't lie, divorce isn't always a bad thing, but again, it goes with societal advances.
Point is, think. I know it's asking a lot, but if you want good things to happen, weigh your options and focus more on you and your future rather than the other person (people).
