do you think adopting a baby/impregnating someone might help? A lot of people find purpose in life only after they are responsible for another. The chances that you will deeply traumatize the child are quite high but in the short term it might help you form a positive identity.
Sweet, this is just the sort of thing I came in here to bitch about.
I come from a muslim family, and as is the case with most muslims, our people generally get married via arranged marriages. So yesterday my not-too-bright mother told me of her plans to have my little brother married. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say this is the worst idea in history.
Some of you may already know of my brother's reputation, but for those of you that don't, all you really need to know is that is that he is someone who should never, ever get anywhere near anything that will give him the chance to procreate. I dunno if I'd say he's mentally disabled, but he is VERY immature. He's 23 years old but literally acts like an 8 year old most of the time. He failed almost every class he's ever taken since kindergarten to 12th grade, cannot do any math beyond double digit addition/subtraction and steals money to go buy candy and shit. Among the list of very un-smart things he's done recently:
1) Rented a car 3 times, each time for one day only, costing no less than $150 per day, for no purpose other than to show people he rented a car.
2) tried to commit check fraud, got caught, and tried to do it again the very next day.
3) Moved from L.A. to NYC to live in a homeless shelter for 6 months, just for the hell of it. Let me be clear here. He didn't wind up in a homeless shelter due to unfortunate circumstances. No, he left with INTENTION of living in a homeless shelter the whole time!
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I was absolutely thrilled his dumbass made it out of high school in one piece. If his stupid hide doesn't wind up in jail at some point, I would be counting my blessings. Someone of such qualities, someone of this capacity, and my goddamned idiot of a mother sees no problem giving someone like him an undertaking as colossal as raising a child.
It's driving me crazy. It's like she's never met the kid before. Despite knowing that he was a horrible fucking student who had neither the ability nor the interest in education, she thought it would be a genius idea to try and enroll him in one of those stupid and stupidly expensive for-profit "colleges" like University of Phoenix or Devry so that he could be an ultrasound technician. Why did she think he was capable of doing that? Because (and I shit you not), she was so impressed with the fact that he got an A on an assignment that he did in 10th grade. Yes, despite the fact that that was the first and last time he got any grade higher than a D, and despite the fact that the class where he received his good grade was World History, this was all the proof she needed to believe that he would be able to pursue a successful career in ultrasonography.
So why does she think my bro would make an excellent father? Supposedly cause by having a wife, this will some how cause him to "calm down" and start taking things more "seriously". How would he be supporting said child? Easy! Just make a quick trip to the local welfare office! But probably the best part was when she said that in the worst case scenario, his wife would pretty much do all the work and handle all the responsibility so it doesn't matter if he contributes or not. And she's also very confident that said hypothetical wife would never even consider divorcing him. Why? Cause she's got a good feeling. Obviously.
I wouldn't necessarily be worried about this sort of thing, due to the fact that no woman would want him if they spent literally 5 minutes talking to him, if it wasn't for the fact that there may be the slight possibility (however small) that she could have the kind of arranged marriage where the two don't know each other and have never had any contact whatsoever until the day they get married (as barbaric as this is, it's still occurs even to this day. In fact, two of my cousins went through this very thing a year or two ago). I really don't know what to do with these dipshits.
TL;DR I hate my family.
Bonus: As if all this shit isn't bad enough, the girl that my bro has his eyes set on banging happens to be....
