Having a child out of wedlock is bad enough, buying a house jointly
without the benefit of marriage is insanity... don't spend too much on
the housewarming gift... odds are their relationship won't last a
year, nothing is more stressful for a young couple than owning a
house. I would suggest first a wedding gift, then wait until after
the baby is born to buy a house... with a newborn there is no way to
predict what expenses one may incur. And they're not sure they even
like each other. I feel sorry for the baby, there are already way too
many baby-daddys. This is not an event to celebrate, family and
friends should be in mourning.
