you need to step up and be a man, you helped create a child you will need to help take care of the child.You should have no problem at the age of 26 to care for and love a child. hang in there a kid at heart is wonderful...You will bond with the child and love it.....It can be ... overwheleming but this is something you and your wife have created... You have created a Miracle. Please dont be a dead beat.... Best wishes......

How about you run to a counselor or something to help you grow up. If you still feel too young to have a child, you should have thought about that beforehand. And for god's sake, your 26, not 12. Hopefully you'll get your head out of your *** before the baby gets here.

Join the Marines. You'll spend a good amount of time away and have a perfectly sound reason. It'll help both of you grow up. And being a jarhead is fun! Semper Fi, says I!

What does being a child inside have to do with taking your responsibilities seriously? I don't know how long you've been married nor how far along your wife is in her pregnancy, so I'm just basing an opinion off of my assumption. Assuming that your wife wasn't pregnant before you actually got married, how did you handle family life prior to her getting pregnant? There had to have been some maturity that your wife recognized in you, unless she too is mentally immature. Do you guys still live with your or her parents? If not, I hate to break it to you but you're already doing the "adult" thing because you're independantly supporting yourselves.

I think you're scared of becoming a father. I think you've bought into the idea that just because you have children, you'll have to cut out all your fun. Either that, or you fear children being too much of a financial and emotional burden- and you don't want to face that fear.

One thing is for sure, if you run you certainly can't hide. The courthouses across America are filled with fathers who have to appeal to the mercy of the court because they thought they could hide from taking responsibility for their children. Don't make matters worse for yourself.

Also, just because you're going to become a father, that doesn't mean you have to change yourself unless you're irresponsible. Children can be a financial burden but if you guys have good health insurance, that's the bulk (but not all) of your financial burden right there for right now. Not to mention, the fact that there are two of you (you and your wife) to care for the baby, rather than either one of you being a single parent, it won't be as bad as you think.

You can still hang out with your friends sometimes.. still play video games (I'm a gamer).. still watch t.v... still have some alone time with your wife, etc. Now, you have to plan out when you'll have time for those things but you won't have to cut them out. I think that's one of the misconceptions about "adults" is that many feel that you can't do any of the things you used to. But guess what, as a responsible adult, you have the freedom to do all those things you want as long as it doesn't interfer with doing what you must.

Clueless???

you can't run now. you should've ran before you got married and concieved a child. sorry.

sexy grandmother

if you are child inside, why did you put your organ inside.... you know what.
Behave yourself

Huh? You are 26, not 16. I was 24 when I had my first child and my husband was 18 when he had his first and he was still in high school. Even he was adult enough to man up and take care of his son. Face it buddy, you're not a little kid any more. Peter Pan's and Hooks ship has sailed on without you on board...........

angeleyes

You don't have to run... It's okay that your are still a child @ heart that is natural your only 26... You still having the chid inside of you migh make father hood a little more easier because you will enjoy doing kid things like the park, museum, zoo etc... Your married so that is one good sign that your not in it alone & neither is she. CALM DOWN... everything will be okay

Time to grow up!

I'll try my best here to be helpful here. It's probably because you realized that a child is a huge responsibility and they are. Like it or not that baby is coming. Why marry the woman and then claim to still feel infantile on the inside? It's a poor excuse. There are support groups that your wife's OB can refer you to. I'm sure it's just nerves you are feeling. Wait until the baby comes, that is the coolest feeling in the world. Best of luck!

Marra's mommy

Only 26?
LoL
Time to grow up babe. You can still be a child inside and have a baby. It's just time to be responsible and know when it's okay to be a child. If you didn't want a child you should have used extra protection.

I'm also 26 and soon to be married. And the thought of children even now scares the heck out of me. I suggest a hobby outside of the home. An organized sport such as tennis, basketball, etc. that you can play for fun away from the home. But you also have to keep your pregnant wife in mind. She is the most important person to you right now, and that means, she is second to none, not even yourself! So as much as you want to run, just make sure you are there for her and for all of her needs. Even a home hobby, such as video gaming or some sort of craftmanship would be better, so that you are not away from the home, but still getting some time to yourself.

lovely

your 26 your not that young anymore, support your wife and the baby and get over the childness inside of you cuz the baby is coming!

Skittles

Well, you've got a commitment, so you can't exactly run, but we've all still got that child inside us!

Steve C

If you were really a child, your wife wouldn't be pregnant. My advice is to grow up quickly.

KingDavid

LMAO,,nowhere to run,,Child Support sees all....

Joe C

Is this Scott Peterson?

adriane d

If you're still a child, why did you get married in the first place? I feel bad for your wife.

tayeloquin2

You can run...but you can't hide...

LA High Rise

You should of thought about that before you married her and got her pregnant. Now man up and take care of your Wife now that she needs you the most!

liason

you gotta deal with it dude. i am sure once she has the baby it will make up for the feelings that you have now. you can just support your wife and give her all the love in the world...

shamrock girl

You want to run? Did you not think about this before you married her and got her pregnant??????

punxsutawney phil

There is no need to. She will.

icemanmurph

Why don't you run back to mommy, you big baby.

TTC #1 hoping for 2009 baby!

DON'T RUN.
It is bad and childish.

Tina

its too late, u decided you werent a child any more when u decided to get married!

Traveler

You can't... If you have the balls to stick it in, you better have the balls to stick it out.

lee

If you didn't run away from the bed when you made that child, be a man and don't run now!
