You know, I had my first daughter at 18. Got pregnant at 17. However, there was NO doubt who her biological father was. He has never met her, (a mutual decision, she has a Daddy...) but
NEITHER of us questioned he was her father.
Even at 17, when I didn't know that antibiotics decreased the effectiveness of birth control...I still knew not to sleep with two guys in the same month, or even two month period. I also did not drink or take medication while sexually active regardless of precautions just in CASE I might ever get pregnant.
I also helped a friend figure out who her sons father was using blood types... the one she thought was couldn't be because her blood type and his blood type couldn't make her son's blood type. She was getting ready to do a DNA test!
It has always struck me as odd, that I knew THOSE things, but not that antibiotics decreased the effectiveness of birth control. :waitasec:
Ahhh....it was probably the Maury Povich. I was probably traumatized by "She's here with the 5th/9th/12th/16th man who might be her baby's Daddy."
Especially after I saw a girl I went to high school with on there....before I even got pregnant. :angel:
That's it. Now I understand.
I just learned more from life experiences than inserts in prescriptions...odd given my love for reading. :waitasec:
Someone asked Charity about paternity on the Find Syler (sic) Newton FB page.
According to her story:
a) Elijah was not the baby's father
b) she was not sure who was - there were 2 possibilities
c) she got pregnant during a separation from her husband (Elijah) and did not know it until they had reconciled
d) she never even told one of the 'possibles' that she was pregnant because he was a bad person & she would not have wanted him around her child (!)
Well....my Mama taught me never to date any man I would not want to marry. I admit, however, that she never told me not to procreate with a man I wouldn't want to be in my child's life, but honestly I sorta gathered that on my own! :croc:
