I am a guy friend of a 20 year old guy who got his girlfriend pregnant. They are due in august (a girl)...I need help dealing with this and supporting them. They got married 6 weeks ago, and are living on their own for the first time. She graduated college, he dropped out of college. And has no job. What should my role be?

Lol unless your "buddy buddy" with "both" your friends and feel you have a connection with the baby then I deem you to have no role in its life and if you wanna help buy them some stuff to help out or money or anything I know id like that Wink Smile my 2 cents

U should really let them come to you or you will seem to intrusive cause I know I hate when anyone constantly checks up on heather and I its real annoying its like yes were fine and dont need anything else now shut up and go away just check up every once and a while when you think you should otherwise just bring some stuff up every once and a while and dont intrude you should be all good

U seem like a cool dude, noodle, I appreciate your honesty. I was the first person my friends told about their pregnancy so I feel flattered but also very close to them and want the best for all. Do you have close friends that you told before your parents?

Well in a way yes but it was really not that bad of a secret cause we thought heather was prego before she got prego so our parents already knew then they all got set that she was not prego so it wasent that big of shock but our parents wouldnt believe us it was funny and how come youre on here you must be a real good friend cause if my friends were prego I dont think id spend time on a prego forum for them unless I had nothing better to do

I'm just trying to see how others deal with the situation so I can be a better friend. I don't want to interfere in their lives too much but I also don't want them to struggle and fail. So i'm just looking for advice on where to stand. You seem very down to earth noodle, if you lived closer to me, we could be friends. I hope all is well with your baby!

Chanda,
the last time I checked in the shower, I was a man! Being a good friend will be just as important after the baby is born as it is now, right?
