The labor market is healing in however many months it will be before she gets back in the market, the market will either be in terrific shape or just terrifying, all depends on how low Europe and China goes.
They can't fire her for being pregnant. Best to get it Over with.
Too be honest, men always get the label of being the gender that make all their descisions based on some kind of evolutionary drive to spread their seed and we started to wear that bullshit label as an excuse. Maybe it's time we reevaluate the situation, because from my PoV over here it's starting to become difficult not get cynical about the whole thing, when women are at least as driven if not more.
You know the real reason he dislikes it? It's cos she'll get fat, and he hates the fatties.
I'm just... geez. I'd be happier if this meant my parents would be contempt with two grandkids but i'm pretty sure they want one from me.
My older sister has a tendency to be either really nice or the biggest bitch in the world. Not that I speak to the family that much already, but i'm definately steering clear 4-5 months down the road. Christ. Might as well be a circle of hell while this one is pregnant.
It's a progression as you get older. The longer you wait to marry the heavier your potential wife will be. I would estimate 20-30 lbs per year.

You think the pregnancy will be bad, wait until she is up all night and day with a newborn. Go see her now because you won't want to for the next 4-5 years.
Why do you care? Seriously, why? My parents had to learn that they probably will never meet their grand kids, if there even ever will be some. First of all they both started way too late (my fater was 40, my mother 36), hehe so they can't even complain here . My sister always hated kids to some degree, but for some reasons (because she is fairly dumb tbh) she went to a school for kindergarten "teachers", which cuased her to hate kids to the point we feared she might sterilize herself.. And they know that I don't take well to the crazy shit from some women, can't stand lazy and uneducated people and I'm not the kind of person to screw everything that has a heartbeat. It's our lives and they have no say in that matter.
The whole carrying the name thing is dead over here in germany anyway, because nowadays everyone combines their names to shit like Mayer-Schmidt for equality. But to be honest if hers is better than mine I will take that and if it is worse I won't call myself a terrible or lame name just because of that. I don't expect her to do that either.
Spoken like someone who doesn't have siblings.

It's kind of hard not to. On one end you do your own thing. And on the other, you want to make the parents happy.
The expectation is kind of there, whether they assert it or not.
Really? How do you figure. I figured I could ride the one night stand carousel if I REALLY wanted to (assuming I still don't want a serious relationship later down in the road)

The fuck? I mean, sometimes I just throw everything I possibly can in a container and go...but damn.

Meh, some people are more open about their occasional sibling quarrels during childhood. I'll always love her.
TO EXPLAIN it was on the side of the hot dog and i wanted something with the hot dog but we have absolutely nothing in the house but like.. meat and wheat thins. parents are on a budget so a lot of the snack food has been slashed and i haven't bought any yet because i'm trying to cut it out anyway. i can't handle anymore wheat thins right now so the decision was either chex mix or cheerios.
and frozen thin mints are fucking delicious and i'll stab you if you say otherwise. i mean, you're still my bigzo, but there are lines.
