Be ready for the Lifetime adaptation, everyone

It’s not easy being a single parent, especially when you’re surrounded by babies left and right. Clearly, we’re taking on more burdens than we can sizably expect, and frankly, in this economy, sometimes that can lead to some horrible decisions. Unfortunately, that’s just not a lesson that we’re learning here in America.

However, in merry ol’ blighty, that’s just not a problem, no sirree! Yup, we silly Americans should be taking lessons from the Brits — if you’re going have a child, keep in mind these simple rules:

  1. Make sure that you have a partner. Don’t go being a parent alone. Have someone else that can help shoulder the burden.
  2. Be no older than thirteen years old.

Wait, what?

You heard correctly. A thirteen year old British lad is the proud father of a new child. The mother? A comparatively ancient fifteen. It’s cool though — Poppa Alfie expects to be a good dad. How so?

“I’ll have to work extra hard at school.”

That’s a solid plan there, Alf-ster. In the meantime, get back to playing that video game. You’ll have plenty of time to be a great father once you’ve complete one last mission.

Do you see that, Britain? HA! Guess America’s not just the only country with bad parents, huh?
