I grew up in this situation, and I wish my parents were civil towards each other when I was younger. It seems like it took them until I was in high school to pull their heads out of their @sses.
That would be a best case scenario, but when you have sex with some random chick and knock her up, you are risking that she will not be so lenient.
I am not saying that is what you did Ryan, but I know quite a few guys who put themselves in that exact situation.
