Mother Refuses To Move After 15-Year-Old Son Tries To Force Her Into His Teen Parenting Plan
Interview With Author
Teen pregnancies aren’t necessarily the end of the world, but it’s probably safe to say that most folks would do their utmost to avoid it when possible. However, accidents do happen, so the parents of teens have to sometimes be pragmatic. But what if a parent learns their kid is trying to use pregnancy to get something?
A woman discovered that her fifteen year old son got his girlfriend pregnant on purpose because he thought he could leverage it into getting his family to move to her city. We got in touch with the mom who shared the post and she was kind enough to give some more details.

The mom shared her thoughts with us
Bored Panda got in touch with the mom who shared the post and she was kind enough to give a few more details. When asked about why the post was so popular, she suspected that it had something to do with how hairbrained and downright dumb her son’s plan was. She thought it was “a ridiculous idea and infuriating to anyone with a developed frontal lobe.”
Similarly, the post had a lot of comments from folks asking for clarification, more details, or just sharing their thoughts, suggestions and reactions. She thought a lot of them were useful because “I felt like maybe I was being harsh but the majority think I’m not. I think most of them were validating.”
This is understandably a frustrating situation, particularly from a mom who has very literally seen it before and knows, firsthand, just how hard he and Bree have made their lives. It doesn’t help that her son will probably not realize just how right she is for a while. Her final advice to us sums up her feelings perfectly: “Don’t have kids.” Unfortunately, the internet is rife with stories of parents who really should have listened to this advice, but didn’t.
Teen pregnancies tend to really set people back

It’s important to not paint all teen pregnancy with too broad of a brush, but by and large, the statistics aren’t great. The effect, largely, tends to fall on the teen mom. One study found that teenage mothers completed secondary schooling only 10–12% as often as their non-childbearing counterparts.
Another perhaps surprising statistic is that 25% of teen moms will typically have a second child within the next two years. It’s not at all hard to imagine how quickly this can cause the teen mom to drop out of school or perhaps even quit her job since looking after two children is a lot of work.
That last point is quite important, as it forces the mom to often be economically dependent on the teen father, if he even sticks around. It doesn’t take an expert to realize that a teenage boy probably doesn’t have the best prospects, even if he is willing to work hard. However, unfortunately, it’s not at all uncommon for a teen mom’s partner to be four to five years old and often not even a teenager in the first place.
This is perhaps why many teen moms end up practically in poverty. For example, in the UK, roughly half of teen moms are in the bottom fifth of income distribution. The majority are unemployed, forced to rely on their partner or family to survive. For all their “planning” this young couple has really not considered what this will actually do to their futures. However, it does appear that they perhaps think that Bree’s family will help, as they seem to be in on it, something the mom shared in the update at the end of the article.
This often does become a burden not only for the teenage couple, but their families as well. The woman who shared this story seems to believe as much, noting that she expects to have to help with the newborn. Given the time and energy she put into escaping this, it’s pretty easy to see why she would be so frustrated. She also later shared an update, which can be found after the comments below.

"Bree is a nice child, but her behavior is toxic...." Then she is not a nice child. Her niceness is a tool for her to get what she wants.

She lives with 8 other kids... she probably doesn't get what she wants often and came up with this plan as a way to get attention and control. I feel really bad for kids with that many siblings this day and age.

This girl has broken up with him twice for another guy. A DNA test is 100% REQUIRED. If the get-pregnant-at-christmas plan didn't take, she may have decided to just use her local back up boyfriend as a s***m donor, because the whole thing is about getting their way. OP can in no way move. Letting her minor son join the toxic/chaos household would be a disaster for him. Basicly, she has to just hold her ground. If they can get some family counselling, and/or mediation with the gfs family, that might be a good idea.

Besides, the DNA test would also help Bree, just in case the woman's son finds love closer to home and decides to dump Bree. If the child is the son's and Bree's, she could get child support. It would help both parties.
