Hard decision.

I know my dad but he was never really there for me. Now I'm not close to him at all but that's his fault. It's perfectly fine to grow up without a dad, you're just much closer to your mom.

That would also leave the mom with financial problems aswell as other things though.

We don't have financial problems...?

Okay, now a lot of you know i'll be leaving for basic training for the US Army next year and probably be deployed to Libya since Obama wants to deploy ground troops over there and congress is leaning towards yes. But here's the thing, I've always wanted a kid. Now the question is this, I already have a pretty steady girlfriend, right? I want to know if I should get her pregnant before I leave, or when I come back if I do. This stuff's been bugging me for a few weeks now, and I need opinions. Yeah I know it's loving stupid asking a forum for a lego game but a lot of you are intelligent enough to help me out. Opinions?

Listen up.

Don't leave for war after getting committed.  She's going to be the only one out of her friends likely that will be all alone while everyone else around her is having fun getting on with their lives.  Sure, you're doing a great thing for our country.  Except you're pretty much making her stick with a love life that, at any day, can be cut short by war.

If you're going to be with her or even have a kid with her without marriage, don't go to war.  Nothing is more disappointing than seeing a kid who never got to really know his mother or father really well because they died in war.

If you really want a child, stay with him.  Wanting a child means you would do anything for them.  So don't leave them alone with only one parent for the rest of their lives.  A parent that is gone because of war is a hole that can't really be filled ever again.

Well now, in my opinion bro, don't do it! Your too young, and your going out to war, for all you know might die and never see your kid, or she might leave you, I'd just say no to this. Not now.

Also, going along with Nick.

agreed, never had dad, forgeted up my life

That settles it.
Do you want to risk the chance that your child would turn out like this guy?

[Shinji]

Alright guys, I've made up my mind. Going to wait till if I get back, we'll have a longer time to talk about it too. Thanks.
