I am currently in a relationship and my boyfriend is in a relationship with the streets. He wants to have a child together, he just had one but she won't let him see the little boy. I don't want to have one right now because of how deep he is in the game. I don't know how to tell him that that's the REAL reason why, without him feeling that I am trying to change him. I don't want to change him but I don't want to raise a child while he is living like this.

If he wants a baby so badly, tell him to adopt one. If he's so deep into the streets, he'll end up dead or in jail. Then how will he support the child he wants so badly? Don't be a statistic, don't let this guy get his way.

My personal opinion Krystal....I think there are other things in your life that you should be much more focused on. The fact that you are a college student is the number one reason why having a baby right now would not benefit you. Let me just say first that there is much more to life then being in a relationship where you are being pressured into making a decision about becoming a mother! There are lots of single mothers out there and pleeeeeze buhleev they get lots of KUDOS from me! However, having a child means much more than dressing them up and taking them to the doctor for shots.It means added responsibility, late nights, and lots and lots of money! I don't know your financial situation, it may not even be an issue, but you should think about yourself and your well being before bringing someone else(an innocent someone else) into your situation.Remember the decisions you make now, will affect the decisions you'll be forced to make if you decide to have this man's baby!Another question you should ask yourself is, if this man really loves me, would he want to have a baby with me while i'm pursuing my education and trying to better my life? I'll be praying for you as well, take care and be blessed!

Honestly I know more about raising a child than I am given credit for. My cousin had a baby not too long ago and she was unable to take care of him for the first few weeks. I HAD TO GET UP WHEN HE CRIED! I HAD TO CHANGE HIS DIAPERS AND FEED HIM EVERY TWO HOURS! I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS! I was there for her. SO I know a lot more than you think. But i am thankful for the advice. As far as cute clothes go, I totally disagree with that. I have seen too many of my friends pop out babies and sill stay dressed to impress.
