A stranger got a girl pregnant and told her father he didn’t love her.Do you think the girl’s father made the right decision?
The girl’s father was a general manager at a car dealership.
His daughter, Stacy, became pregnant at 17 years old after meeting a young man at a party.
She didn’t tell her parents who the father of the baby was.
One Sunday afternoon, many months into her pregnancy, an old pick up truck pulled up outside their house.
The girl’s father was sitting outside when he saw a young man jump out of the truck.
“Are you Stacy’s dad?”, the young man asked him.
He replied, “Yes I am, are you here to see her?”
“No sir, I am here to talk to you, can I sit down?”
Stacy’s father said, “Yes”
He then explained himself as an 18 year old boy who’s just finished High School.
He said he was not very book smart, with no real future. He then said, “I understand Stacy is pregnant.”
“Yes, she is”, Stacy’s father replied.
He said, “I am the father”. Stacy’s father replied, “fingured as much, so what’s going on?”
He said, “Well, I don’t love your daughter and should not have done what I did. However, I am soon to become a father without a good income. I know you run multiple car dealerships, and one can make good money selling cars. I want to come work for you so I can make enough money to support my child and be a good father.”
Stacy’s father looked at him shocked and said, “What kind of work would you want to do at one of my dealerships?”
“I want to sell cars, I want to be a salesman. I heared you don’t need a degree and if you are willing to work long and hard hours, you can make good money”, he answered.
The father nodded and said, “Yes, you can”.
“Now, son, you got some balls coming over here telling me you got my daughter pregnant when you don’t love her and then asking for a job.”. Stacy’s father said, “I want you to be at my dealership tomorrow in your Sunday best at 8:00 a.m. Do you understand?”
This happened ten years ago. The young man went on to become a store manager, and one of the best hires Stacy’s father ever made.
He is also an awesome father of two now (He met and married another woman) and had a child with her.
He shares custody with Stacy for her child.
