That’s what people do here too they work really hard and save up for a down payment for a home except they don’t get to live rent free so it takes them a lot longer and they have to work a lot harder and once they get their house they have to keep working they don’t just chill and play video games while they have a baby on the way.
All I see is the ‘poor Brandan’ narrative. Him and Mary are BOTH responsible for the garbage, toxic life they are living. Brandan is an adult. He’s not a baby. He does not have to be trapped there, but he chooses too be. Mary is not a saint, she’s extremely manipulative. That doesn’t take away from Brandan’s issues as well. This really all boils down to 2 young adults who are paying the price for their messed up childhoods, they are immature and should not have brought children into this mess.
Brandan obviously put no thought or foresight into how he was going up support a family but Mary seems to be certifiably crazy in the coconut. They are a disaster in the making from day one. Both having fault of their own and while I do think Mary is worse, Brandan is just as responsible for ignoring all her red flags. I guess that’s what you get with damaged people.
