way2gosam tells us more.
Okay, I'm finally writing back to all 401 of your comments. Yes, I am a pregnant teenager- although, I can not see how that has any revelance to my post, pregnancy in teenagers happens quite often and I do not appreciate the judgemental/negative comments being thrown at me. It's pure slander. Yes, the father and I did have a fallout and I will be raising the baby on my own, with the help and support of my family and friends- not to mention he lives in the northern part of the state that I live in, which happens to be 4-5 hours away, even if he wanted to be here for the arrival of our child(which we are expecting to be a girl), he could not make it here on time. Therefore, my mother is my "go'to man", for lack of better words. I also notice you all are saying that he wouldn't want to hold my hand or watch the baby being born, I never said he would be in the delievery room- I simply asked him to keep my company during the scary hours of contractions that were yet to come, until my mother could arrive and take over. Yes, we had previously discussed it, and he had said that if need-be, he would be there. Unfortunately for me, he was speaking pure lies. As for the premature labor I did go into, they did stop it, and I am now on bed rest while taking a medicine called "terbutaline" every 4 hours in order to hold her until full term. (Which is also why I could write my FML, I didn't come home taking care of a baby, I came home on bed rest so I could have my baby at the correct time. I had nothing else to do but write my FML.) I do understand how confusing and misleading my post was, but keep in mind you only get a certain amount of letters to work with when writing your original FML, and by reading this I'm sure you've noticed that I could not elaborate thouroughly with 300 letters as a maximum. I do appreciate your opinions, even though I do not agree with all the statements that were made. Just wanted to explain since there were so many confused people.

Good to know that he's not dependable when you really need him. Good luck with the baby. I had my twins prematurely, it's a rough road. Focus on your baby for now and find a new, better "crush" later.
All the people saying ydi because there are contraceptives and what not, contraceptives don't work 100% of the time. There is also no way any one can know the circumstance with the baby's father. She didn't mention it, therefore there is no knowledge as to his status. He could be in the army and away, he could be a deadbeat, etc. no one knows, so don't make assumptions. Also to the people saying how did you know about tv being more important and that he was watching tv, she obviously paraphrased the text.
don't be a fool, wrap your tool
What is WRONG with you people?!OMG, I had to create an account to repond to this-I have never in my 29 years seen a larger group of assholes all in one place.You people are absolutely disgusting!!So she's a '*****' for getting pregnant?I guess your mothers are all ******, too, then?Listen, life happens-there are lots of reasons why a woman becomes a single mother-not that it's your business.God forbid this woman wanted a bit of support from a friend, & god forbid she actually has a *gasp* crush-OMG, the shame!She's human, people.You guys are completely out of line.Oh, & numer 116-you hope the baby was stillborn?!?!Comgrats, you managed to be the biggest jerk on this page...quite a feat, if you ask me.To the person that said you aren't mature enough to have a baby if you want your mom there-I truly feel bad that your mom obviously doesn't care enough about you to be there for YOU, but most people have mothers that care, so maybe try not to take it out on them, k?I cannot wait until karma pays you jerks a visit.
"Keep your legs closed or use BC. You wouldn't be in this position had you done one of the two. The baby is what only a day old and you're already whining? STFU you Moo. This is why parents suck they think everyone should drop everything for them. It's all me, me, me, me, me, me! I hope it was still born, last thing I want my tax dollars to go to is your kids pie" Die, you are such a ******* ****. You probably don't even PAY taxes so stfu. **** you. Oh and I hope someone comes & takes your kids if someone would even wanna sleep with you. Everyone is so judgemental of the OP, maybe the dad is overseas, or at a business trip. And who the HELL deemed it, "immature" to want their mother in the room with them during labor; you are either a jack ass of a man, a troll, or just a dumbass woman who will NEVER give birth. BFF/Crush, can always mean more & she never said in the room just waiting with her untill her mom got their. Which I find very simple for him to do. And crush could be saying someone who she finds a little cute, crush does NOT mean you really like them. Big difference honestly, & no you don't stop having "crushes" at the age of 16. OP: That is really horrible. I'm sorry, oh congrats on the baby, and ignore the ignorant ***** on this thread.
How'd you get to the hospital? Sounds like you were totally alone--if so, I call bullshit. If not, that taxi/bus driver sounds like the better friend. YDI for expecting the crush/friend and not the dad to man-up and attend the kid's delivery. Shouldn't be expecting him to be there for something like that. YDI for text-arguing during one of the most important moments of your life, and certainly the kid's. You are clearly too self-absorbed to be ready for parenthood. The crush/friend is old enough to make up his mind, just like you [thought] you are old enough to make up your mind and keep the kid. Just because they have different priorities than you doesn't make them wrong. What makes you think he considers you to be his best friend? Depending on a friend to help, on occasion, for certain things is one thing; expecting a friend to be a surrogate father figure to a child that isn't his while you two are not married is totally different. The quality of your friendship sounds very questionable if you're trying to manipulate a friend and/or crush with your pregnancy. On one hand, a real friend would go voluntarily; on the other hand, a real friend wouldn't force another into a position they don't want to be in. In conclusion, YDI, FT baby's L, FT crush's L but he also deserves it, and, assuming you are a teen and have a loving family (since your mom was on the way), FY family's lives for having another mouth to feed. Welcome to parenthood, which means goodbye to being a "normal" teen. Don't just plop the kid in someone else's lap thinking you can go off and do your own thing like everyone else that didn't opt to have a kid.
I think #20 said it perfectly.
He's a guy. Guys do not do the squealy emotional get together and handle female situations, unless they are attached to you in some way (father, brother, husband, boyfriend etc). Even then, not all of them deal with it terribly well, so they avoid it. Call a female next time, and sit tight while you wait.
150,bitter much?! Suck it up and get on with life. I also agree with the person who said maybe we need a proficiency test to determine whether people are ready to have a baby. OP, my issue with this is the fact that AFTER THE FACT,you are more involved in the fact that your "crush" didn't show up rather than the father not showing up or better yet worrying about the new life you're responsible for. It says to me you're not EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY mature to have a baby if you're putting yourself before that tiny life. In that case, YDI. I am one of those people who "***** around" but like other people said,there are condoms,birth control, morning after pills. There is NO reason for someone to get pregnant if they're not ready. So they fail? That's why those tiny pills are called EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE! I really don't care whether the father is there or not. Like someone said, our president turned out fine. Hopefully your baby turns out ok too. My issue now is: WHO WILL BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BABY? YOU OR the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT(aka tax payers)? If it will be us tax payers,then I have no sympathy for you because you'll be another drain on society in which case **** our lives

he probably knows you are into him so is avoiding being to close to you incase he gets the position of father figure to your child and is therefore stuck with you and the kid forever, he saved himself from having a fml
Is he the father? If he is, he should be more than a "crush". Sounds like a bad choice to me either way.
