Do the right thing

Yesterday my friend tells me that her sister in law is pregnant. Her 28 year old sister in law who despite having a college degree has really never been gainfully employed and spent most of her adult life partying, taking drugs, drinking, and smoking. She has apparently been off drugs for a couple of years now but still does drink and smoke. The story gets better. She's pregnant with twins. The father of the babies is married. And his wife is pregnant. I asked if she had considered adoption and my friend said that she had said she wanted to "do the right thing" and keep the babies.

She has no job, no money, no health insurance, and no home of her own (her mother recently took her in but told her she needs to find her own place when the babies are born). She mooches off various family members who enable her and give her money, a job here and there, and a place to stay. At least she's doing the "right thing" though and keeping her babies and raising them herself. Yes, this is all going to work out really well.
