Q: How many times does 25 go into 16?

A: nonce

47

u/Icy-Zone3621 13d ago
  1. Don't forget 9 months gestation

u/Live-Motor-4000 13d ago

TBH - it could be either 15 or 16 - we don't know, and it's wrong either way

It could even be 14, it's unlikely she got pregnant immediately at the start of the relationship.

Pregnant at 14 years 6 months.

Mother at 15 years 3 months.

Son is now 4 years 9 months, or less.

Mom is 20 years, or more.

There’s a significant window where she didn’t even have to be 15.

What a terrible day to be numerate.

Well damnation. One of the few times I wish someone didn't do the math.

My daughters are 14... where are the parents in this story? A 23-24 year old dude was after their 14-15 year old daughter.

That would be "Do not pass go" territory from this old man.

Even worse when you actually have experience as someone trying to have kids and realize that, it probably took a few month to actually conceive that first kid...

Man, I wish it took a few months. Me and my wife decided it's time for kid 2. I looked forward to months of raw dogging it. The first night the plastic came off, preggers. 3rd kid was an accident. Why? Ran out of condoms and the wife rolled me over in my sleep for fun. Yup.

I married a fertility goddess.

Also possible that this photo was taken at his 4th birthday party-

Pregnant at 16 years 2 months

Mother at 16 years 11 months

Son is now 4 years 0 months

Mother is 20 years 11 months

There’s a 2 month window where she could’ve been 16, not only at conception, but technically also at start of the relationship after her 16th birthday, 2 months earlier…

Great day to be numerate, it works both ways!

Of course, just because the above is possible, doesn’t mean that’s how it happened…

Additionally, do we even know the jurisdiction? There are many countries in the world where the age of consent is below 16… again, doesn’t mean it’s morally right, but it doesn’t mean it’s legally wrong either.

Wait how do you know this?

u/ElementalSentimental 13d ago

All you need to know is how to add up, and that it takes nine months to make a baby.

Of course I don’t know anything about the individuals involved.

The first two lines are what I'm asking about.

He's using math to calculate an age range.

u/Redditributor 13d ago

Okay he's doing the rough possible worst case (kid has been 4 a while she hasn't been 20 long) I thought we were looking for best case scenario. -so I assumed he was just giving some actual information from somewhere

u/Dragonwitch94 13d ago

An even more troublesome question: how long did they know each other, before the relationship started? 😬

Getting a lot of youth pastor vibes from that guy, so probably a while
