I found out today one of my best Concepcion friends is pregnant. 6 weeks. I should be thrilled! Especially because she was so supportive of my pregnancy and my choices. But it was sort of a hard pill to swallow, for many reasons:
- She’s 32 and still acts like she’s 18, basically just partying with not a care in the world. At least she’s been able to hold a job for more than a year.
- The baby daddy is some guy she’s been seeing for only 3 months, and we (friends) haven’t even met yet :(.
- She has rheumatoid arthritis and is on some serious drugs, so she was told a hundred times to use birth control. It bugs me that she couldn’t even do that.
That being said, I still congratulated her, because she’s thrilled, and says her boyfriend is thrilled… and oh God I just hope everything works out for her. She’s so juvenile sometimes I can’t imagine her taking care of a child, but hey, I’m no prize either. I love my friend and I just want her to be happy, and the whole situation just makes me anxious… but she already made her decision, and I could never NOT support her. Just wish she’d been more responsible… but it’s HER life, who am I to judge?
So, I’m happy to report, whatever my feelings, I kept them to myself and congratulated her as she deserved. And there will never, EVER be an “I told you so”.
Remind me of that promise, people!
