My best friend and I are both 21. I moved in with my now fiance 1.5 into our relationship. Her new boyfriend and her got together 3 weeks ago and she’s already talking about having another kid but with him, and moving in together. Do I voice concern?

I doubt you’re gonna listen anyways… but hey…. Please let the decision-making part of your brain develop before you literally bring a new life that’s 100% dependent on you into the world…

Depends on if you want to keep your friendship the way it is now unfortunately. If she already thinks its wise to move in and have a kid this early on then im not sure if she's someone who would listen to reason. Ive seen a lot of relationships end because of things like this even when you mean well

She already has a daughter with her ex. And it’s not like this guy isn’t a nice person. It’s just worrisome

I think having kids with someone you just started dating is selfish towards the kid. Imagine if he's not such a nice guy anymore. Imagine if he doesn't stay there for the kid or want to be a father. She needs to reevaluate her ideas on relationships and slow down

Even if we just take the concept of finances and dissect it… how on earth is having a kid at 20-21 a good idea in this economy??? I honestly think you guys need to think a little harder and more rationally about this. I want a kid badly! My body wants one (I’m 23) but I definitely would NOT right now where I am in life. I want my kid to be well-provided for physically and mentally. And in reality, unless you both have some crazy good job and unmatched maturity, that is not the case right now.

Children are an investment FOREVER, let yourself adjust further into the beginning stages of adulthood first, don’t rush it. Have kids when you’re financially, and mentally stable and ready
