Itty Bitty Little Rant

I just have to get this one off my chest.
A girl who graduated with me had a baby her junior year of high school. She was the Teen Mom of our school...glamorous, always looked great and none too bright. Everybody was thrilled when they found out she was keeping the baby, even though she was only 17 and her foster parents would have to do most of the childcare. But she didn't care a whit and floated effortlessly through labor and the rest of high school. This evening I logged on to Facebook to this:  "SO! [boyfriend]  AND I HAVE TALKED THIS OVER AND.....WE ARE GOING TO TRY FOR ANOTHER BABY IN A FEW MONTHS! WANT THIS ONE TO BE PLANNED! WE ARE REALLY EXITED FOR [baby #1] TO HAVE A BABY BROTHER OR SISTER NEXT YEAR!!!"
 Oh. Em. Gee. You're telling me you are nineteen years old with a twenty year old boyfriend, a two year old son, and you are trying for a second child?!?! What in the heck is wrong with you?! You don't need another baby, you need counseling! Jeebus. I'm seriously amazed at the stupidity of my classmates. This is why people form Tea Parties and vote for Sarah Palin. Because their two children under the ages of 5 have sucked their brain cells out...if they had any to begin with.
