can't provide for his child and me? My Uncle and his fiance have a 4 bedroom house. Since they have no children,they have 3 empty rooms. I'm 19 and pregnant and my boyfriend is 19 also. We live in our own apartment and we both work and my b/f's in college. My Uncle came back(was in the military) and wanted to meet with me and my b/f. After meeting a few times last week he/they said he knows it's tough right now and that it's only going to get tougher(meaning financially) so he and his girlfriend offered to let us move in with them to save up and once my b/f graduates we could move out.
I'm really considering this because we could use the help and saving $600 a month in rent would be wonderful(of course we'd help with bills and house work,the rent we pay now is $900). Plus having two adults who can help us with things and give us advice would be wonderful also(neither my b/f or I have any family besides my Uncle to talk to now). But my b/f doesn't want to move in because he wants to prove he can be a man and quote -real men don't need help when it comes to their family-.
How can I convince him that us moving in with them wouldn't mean that he couldn't take care of us?
