LazyGuy agony auntYou are pregnant, he isn't.

You got little choice but to grow up and perhaps you were ready for it but you only got to look down to see that you got no choice.

To him, the baby is just a blob in your stomach. It won't be real until it is born and might never become real.

It is the biggest difference between men and women perhaps. Men do NOT get pregnant.

Further more if he is near your age, what the bloody hell did you expect? Boys grow up slower and as any woman can tell you, most never grow up at all. You got knocked up by a kid and expect him to grow up?

Unlikely, try to see if you can get some couple counseling and help with your financial situation. If he isn't mature enough to handle the finances then he shouldn't. Make sure you have enough money somehow to pay for your own and your babies needs.

Frankly, at the moment you got enough on your plate to worry about your BF, sit him down, tell him to shape up or get out and get your affairs in order.

Getting a teen boy to mature... well if you pull it off, there is a situation in the middle east you could solve, should be easy after that.

Tell him he needs to step up and play the part of being daddy. Video games are fine, but your much more important. He's the one that got you pregnet now he can help you with everything needed. Your asking for food, you cant live off of a video game! Does he say anything about the baby? Are you talking about your going to do after the baby is born? Take him away from the games and talk.

Bubblegum-Pink agony auntWell done for being so responsible and committed to your unborn baby, especially seeing as you've had so little support. I would suggest that you make time, maybe go for a walk together or somewhere for coffee, where you can talk to him about what's bothering you. Try not to sound like you're attacking him and perhaps make suggestions about things he could do to help. If it's easier for you, make short notes beforehand.

If this seems too daunting, tell a trusted friend or family member how you're feeling and ask
