We decided to get married now. We're going to live with my parents until we graduate from college and can support ourselves. The Costs Being pregnant and having a baby is expensive. Then there's the maternity clothes, baby furniture, baby clothes, baby toys, baby bottles, formula, diapers and a mountain of other costs. I never realized diapers were so expensive.
Pregnancy is more than just financial problems.
There's lost trust and respect between my parents and me, his parents and me, my parents and him and with adults in our church, our friends and our peers. Because of us, our close friends will be watched more carefully. I used to think it was something just between my boyfriend and me. I had never seen my father cry before. My boyfriend's father took it extremely hard.
