My niece had a child recently. She's unmarried and living at home with her mother (a widow) and younger brother. She'd gone off to school at UCSB, her first time away from home. She and the boyfriend were both biology majors (pre-med) and the thin story is they only "did it" once. Well it was enough and the boyfriend was a jerk as the story moves along and did not accept his part in this. So now the niece works in a yardage store and has for the time being abandoned the college path. I'll mention the family's Catholic but it doesn't seem particularly important to me. At first glance it seems she has abandoned some better path but is this true? My wife is trustee of an estate that "could" and more importantly "would" supply virtually any resources that she would need to continue school. It was always a family tradition to fund education and mentioned in the trust as a duty or obligation. I'm not much for digging into other's lives so I can't say what is happening here. Maybe things will change after a while and the child (both of them? ) grow(s) up a bit. I'm just offering this as a anecdote to show the variety of circumstances that can sometimes be construed to be the same.
