brinkleysm... Joined on 03-04-2010 park hills, MO 28 Posts 773 Points Just because Andy didn't propose to me doesn't mean im some crazy lady going to buy a dress before the situation was even brought up.  We talked about getting married and decided to set a date, Technically we were already engaged he just didnt get my ring and get down on one knee and propose until later. What people will say with no ring on my finger and being pregnant?  COME ON!!! I was pregnant at 16!  Do you think i cared then what people thought or said to me? No i didnt.  *** happens, and Brinkley's father and I were together almost 4 years until i left his abusive ass.  We were not married.  You dont have to be married to have a child.  You also do not have to be a certain age either. Andy has a Great job. he pays child support on Mackenzie only... He brings home about 650 a week. Yes we can afford another child!  No i am not on government assistance! oh and hes not feeding me the same BS line he fed to the last two. It was the girls he was with, NOT Andy.

I snorted at Andy has a great job...he brings home $650 a week.

So this chick is the 3rd one pregnant with Andy's kid?  Andy only pays for one of his kids?  How do I sign up to be Andy's next baby mama?  Because there will be a next one.

I laughed at the $650/wk too.  It's not horrib;e, but it's no way GREAT.  Especially if you have 3 kids.

Does anyone else ever worry that these kids might date in the future?  I mean they probably have no idea who they are really related to anymore.  I bet it could happen.

I guess she told us.

You dont have to be married to have a child. That's what these chicks keep telling me.

$650 really isn't paying the bills for 3 kids. And I wonder if that's take home pay.

Not even 2, since he's not paying child support for the first one.  Niiiiiiiice.

And I don't give anyone a free pass when it comes to questionable paternity.  DNA tests aren't exactly cutting edge science anymore, they're pretty routine.  Has she never seen Maury?

Oh even better. Good job.

1300 every two weeks isn't terrible, for one person. Maybe two. But that's tough for 4 or 5. And like LS pointed out, if that's not take home pay it's even harder.

I read some of the OP yesterday.  Andy thinks the other kid is his, but baby mama says the paternity test says no. Except Andy never actually saw the test adn the kid looks just like him (supposedly). 

But really - if you are a baby mama and have the actual baby daddy claiming paternity and is willing to pay child support, why would you NOT want him to do that?  If he's a really bad person, that's why. 

I wonder if she really is doing better than the rest of her peer group. It's a distinct possibility.  It's tough to get big picture perspective when you only see your little world, you know?  Like how I kindof think I am stupid and poor because so many of the people around me are so much smarter and richer.  And then I look at the general public and realize how smart and lucky I am.
