...little better.? So, found out my wife and I are having a baby. This is good. In the excitement however, we overdrafted our account a couple of times... this now about 140 in fees. I just forgot to check my money for a few days in excitement about the baby. Now it seems the bank isnt going to refund them! this is such a pain. It has sucked all the life out of me today and all the excitement about being a dad out of me. I hate living pay check to pay check. I hate not being financially stable. I hate the fact that now we cant aford to pay my dad rent for living in his basement. Yes he is that much of an jerk he makes us pay rent to live in the basement. Now he is going to be pissed at me and my wife and on top of that we are going to get a lecture about how irresponsible we are for getting pregnant while we lived in the basement. Sheesh, he prolly doesnt even remember that a little more than a year ago we were told having a baby would be impossible without fertility treatment. Eff. We couldnt help it and I am looking forward to being a dad anyway. now it all seems so hopeless!
 
Relax. It will be okay. Once you see that baby nothing else is going to matter. There are different types of financial help you can look for. Just look it up online in your area. Explain to your dad what is going on. If he's that much of a jerk then just tell him you're doing the best you can. I'm sure it will all be okay though. I know living paycheck to paycheck sucks, but with the economy these days, ALOT of people are. It's not just you at all. Think it could be worse.. You could be fourteen years old, just a freshman in high school and find out you are having a baby.. Yeah that's not so easy.. You legally can't even have a job yet! Much less be able to afford ANYTHING, and if your parents are completely a pain then you could get kicked out. See it looks like you have it better off than alot of people these days. It will all be okay just relax say eff the world for now do what you can, don't stress about what you can't. Good luck, God bless.
 
Try to see if you can get anorther part time job now until the baby comes and stick to it and say all of the money you get from a part time job will not be touched and saved for emergencies or for things absoulutly needed for the baby and just stick to it and not touch it unless for emergencies hope this helps
 
well it could always be worse

Don't despair. Everything will work out. A lot of couples are financially strapped from having a baby, and they make it through okay. Just focus on the miracle of the baby, stay positive and you and your wife will be okay. I know that my parents and my boyfriend's parents were poor when they had us, and now that I'm pregnant, my boyfriend and I are financially strapped as well but that's just life. I hope your dad treats you a bit better and decides to become more helpful to you especially because he should be thrilled you and your wife are finally pregnant! Congratulations and good luck.
 
My husband and I found ourselves in a crisis the day I was scheduled to be induced. We had to call my parents to bail us out and it was horrible. My Dad helped but he wasnt happy and I was sad that my son's birth might be tainted by the issue. However it wasn't. I went to the hospital and had a beautiful baby boy that when I looked into his eyes the whole world felt magical. Guess what? My pissed off Dad took my baby, his grandson, in his arms and he felt it too. For the firs time in years my Dad and I had a bond. Your Dad will be more understanding and less judgemental when he see's his son's child and has a relationship. There is nothing in the world like a grandchild to melt a person's heart. Just try to do your best and you will make it work. Good luck and congrats!
