I honestly thought I had put my 15 year old on the right path in thinking about his future and how far he could go in life....
WRONG...
What the hell is wrong with kids of today???
He has buggered up what chances he had by going out and getting his girlfriend pregnant...
Yes, it`s the real deal this time..
Both of them 15 years old and bringing a poor innocent little baby into the world...Neither of them have a source of income, no accomodation, nothing.....
And they are going ahead with the pregnancy..
Mind you I wasn`t told directly by either of them...
I actually found out through friends of his as he hasn`t bothered to contact me STILL....
Rang his father of the news and that was a total waste of time...
Idon`t knowwhy I bother...
The response I got was "he is getting his family out of the way early"....
Any wonder I divorced the idiot...
I have accepted the fact that this has happened mind you I am none too happy about it...
Deep down I knew that this would eventuate....
I am just worried for this new little life that is coming into the world especially as my son has an anger problem.....
He has to get himself right before taking on a huge responsibilty such as this....
Just something else for me to worry about...
Goodness Mandy, That is worry, anger with your eldest son and girlfriend pregnant.
ReplyDeleteTake one day at a time, one step at a time. What is meant to be, will be and I expect all you can do it to accept it and be there for your son if and when needed.
A worrying time, and I see your point with them being so young, but it's amazing how most of these young ones cope with babies. It could be that it makes your son grow up.
I hope all turns out ok.
Good luck with it all Mandy, sounds like a mess. 15 is so young. Mind you I knew a couple who started a family when she was 15 and he was 19 and 20 odd years later they were having the time of their lives, having got the kids off their hands and still quite young! But that probably is the exception.....
ReplyDeleteAt 15 they have no idea what being a parent is all about they think they know but will get a rude shock once the baby arrives......I like you feel for the baby more then the parents as it is the one who will pay the price if they stuff up. I hope your son and the girlfriend grow up and are good parents all you can do is be there for not only your son but the grandchild. I can't say I am surprised though....
ReplyDeleteOh dear Mandy another worry for you to bear. I hope they can cope OK and get support.
ReplyDeleteHi Mandy .. dropped in.. bad time eh? so sorry you have to go through this AGAIN.. but see it's the real thing this time. I con-cor with your ' what the hell is wrong etc'
ReplyDeleteAs they say their going to go the whole way with the pregnacy, the only thing to do is be there for them, but , don't YOU go it alone... make sure the other g/parents have a responsible intake as well.... think of you and send you hugs... Bev
Oh Mandy! This is not good my friend. I am so sorry to hear of the pain you must endure. Hard to know what runs through the heads of 15 year olds these days.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Thinking of you
