Hoping im pregnant for benefits
I am secretly hoping that im pregnant. But only for my benefit, im living at my grandparents place and sleeping on the couch, the house is old and alot of faulty things, no basic appliances like water heater, stove, washing machine etc. I feel sad that my grandparents live like this, i truely didnt expect it to be like this however i dont have the money to make any changes for them now.
Im just just hoping that im pregnant so that my bf and i can get a house tgt, it is easier to get housing if you are with a child or getting married. Renting is way out of our budget now. I know that raising a baby is expensive and that shouldnt be a reason to bring someone to life. But it could really help us. I feel so guilty and selfish typing this out, to just have a baby purely for my own benefit.
As you've pointed out, raising a child is expensive. So in the long term, this would not be a good solution.
A child is expensive. The reason it is probably easier is because whatever agency you are getting housing from knows this and therefore at least provides the housing. It would be cheaper for you to fix up your grandparents’ house than to raise a child
