it's like on tv

Here's a story of a young lady....

Around the age of 20 this young lady met a young man. They started dating and YL got pregnant. Young man found out she was pregnant and told her he wanted nothing to do with that. He left them never to be heard from again.

Around the same time YL gets a good job and gets her hair and nails done regularly. Every Friday she'd bring in her going out clothes and at 5pm on the dot she'd change ready for happy hour.

At the age of 24 YL meets another young man. They date and YL becomes pregnant again. This time the young man wants to stick around and be a dad. BUT young man doesn't have a job and has a hard time holding onto a job because all of a sudden the new job isn't what they told him it was going to be.

The baby is born and the young couple decide to move in together. YL has never lived on her own and is excited about moving out. Some might tell her to live in an apartment first and then figure out where to go after that unless you find a great house that you can afford to rent. Our YL wanted a house. A 3 bedroom house with a fenced in yard. During work she spent most of her time looking online and calling to see houses. She finally found a house and moved in with her kids and baby daddy.

Finally it's time to move in and spend the first night. OH NO! The place is haunted! YL and her cousins decide the place is haunted and her oldest son does not want to stay at that house. Oh but wait....YL wants a screen door on one of the doors, another outlet in the kitchen, her walls repainted, another outlet in the bedroom and various other things to be done to the house. The landlord gets so sick of YL's demands that he lets her out of the lease and tells her to move out!

YL finds another house almost immediately. YL then gets all her family to help her move into the new house. The house seems to be nice but the young couple are still having relationship problems. Baby Daddy still doesn't have a decent job and doesn't want to be responsible for his portion of the bills. The relationship fizzles out and YL realizes she can't do this on her own anymore. So she moves back to her parent's house. When asked about breaking the lease YL just shrugs and says she just moved out.

The YL and Baby Daddy are no longer an item. Later we find out that YL put a car in her name for Baby Daddy's use even though Baby Daddy's license is suspended. YL lets Baby Daddy have one day for visitation. Meanwhile, YL started her weekend ritual of going out again on Friday nights. Once again she has mom and dad as instant babysitters.

About a month ago or so another young man friends YL on myspace. They start chatting and decide to go on a date. YL is absolutely crazy about this new guy. He tells her he knows how to treat women because he was raised by a single mom and only has sisters. He also has a young daughter. They go on a couple more dates and all of a sudden YL's facebook and myspace pages are filled with pictures of the happy new couple sitting on each others laps posing for the camera.

Then comes this past weekend. New young man tells YL that he wants to see other women but doesn't want her to see other men. He also untagged himself from all her facebook pictures. Their 2-3 week relationship is over!

Today new young man has reposted the pictures of one of their outings and tagged YL.

YL's life is like a soap opera. At first you feel bad for her because she is so naiive but now you just feel bad that you don't feel bad for her anymore.
