I have a very close friend of mine in a dilemma. She is a college bound student andher mother is having a child in two months. This girl is very intelligent and has a full scholarship to her dream school.But her mother wants her to stay home so that she can take care of the baby. She is a single mother and is still young. if she stays my friend wil be forced to go to a junior college or go to a nearby college that is of a lower caliberpart time and work. of course this isn't fair. The kid isn't hers but the girl will be forced to take care of it, and of course she wants to see her baby brother grow up but what can she do? Do you know anybody in a similar situation?
^^^^cosigns with what everyone is saying. i had to miss out on things freshman year because i was watching my baby brother but it wasn't to the point where it was like he was my child. i think the girl's mom is making a really unfair request.
Yeah I've been trying to tell her but its a difficult decision. Her mom uses her a lot like that. I hate to see her stuck in the hood
I know another girl like that. She got a track scholarship to some big school but her mom withheld papers so she could not "get too Uppity" and take care of her momma's illegitimate kids( 3 of them). But next year she's transferring to Vassar
Well that's good of your friend transferring to Vassar. That's an awesome school but to your friend who may miss out on things because her mom uses her, her mother should not do that. Parents manipulate children when they are young for their own good but it should not continue when they are adults and able to make an educated and well informed decision.
She should tell her mother to kiss her **** and take care of her own kid. If I was her I would tell my mom " What does your baby got to do with me, you grown take care of your own kid". Stuff like this makes me sick!
Tell ur friend to GO TO SCHOOL-or she will truly regret it.
I know how she feels because that was me around this time last year. My whole senior year my mother refused to accept the fact that I wanted to go away to school. She wanted me to stay home and go to a community college :x , so she can have a babysitter basically when she needed it. I was like oh no. Then she told me which schools i could and could not apply to. She refused to sign my Howard, VSU, and VUU applications and only signed the PWI's I applied too. She has this thing against HBCU's which is very ignorant, i think. But anywhoo-i told my father about it and he said that he would take care of it and would let me go off to school. My mother was furious and still to this day she is STILL trying to get me to stay at home. Now she saying i should jus go to the community college so I wont be in debt from all these loans I got. Well negroe if you would help pay for sh!t I wouldnt have all these dayum loans. :evil: But to make a long story short-some people jus put the responsibility of their kids-on their older kids-and its not right. Sometimes I feel like Im more of a mother to my siblings than my parents are....smh.....dayum shame. Tell ur friend dont worry about her mom-she will be alright-because thats not her child-and she has her own life to live. :arrow:
