Are there any young grandparents out there? i need some help..?
I was 18 the first time I got pregnant, It was scary telling my parents. The first thing I have to say is that you were doing the right thing by being on birth control, they can not blame you for an honest mistake. I suggest that you and the father of the child both sit down with your parents and tell them. Explain to them that the antibiotics messed with your birthcontrol. Do not put it off. It will make things harder in the long run. I suppose that a lot of little things will complicate this situation, like if the father of the baby is around, if you live with your parents... things like that. But just remember the plain fact is, you are 19, you are legaly an adult, they can not make you do anything. If they are smart about it they will accept this grandchild and be happy for you and be there to help you out and support you when you need it. If they dont see things that way, well then give them some space, they will come around, mine did. I promise you, everything will be ok... a lecture is nothing. Would you rather be 16 and them tell you that you have to have an abortion... you have no choice, but now you are an adult and it is your choice. Like I said they will comearound. They love you. It will be ok. Now the only thing to do is to start planning for the future for you and your child and start making drs visits and things like that. Congrats and I hope all goes well with your parents. Im now 21 and having my 4th child... ok wait, I lost my twins at 18 and my daughter is 1 1/2 and im pregnant again, my parents came around, yours will too. I hope this helped and did not lecture because I know how awful lectures are :)
My grandparents are so insensitive!?
don't get too upset, there just'a couple of old a** geezers..tell em to sit down somewhere or take a nap...
Do All Grandmothers Love their Grandchildren?
My mother certainly did not love her own grandson. She forced the adoption because the shame of an unwed, pregnant daughter was more important to her than her own flesh and blood. And this still goes on today, it was not limited to baby scoop era pregnancies.
Do grandparents have legal rights to their grandchildren?
Grandparents do not have legal rights to see grandchildren unless they are granted by the court. Grandpa is free to petition the court and ask for them but a judge will most likely NOT grant him visitation rights if both parents are living and object to it. There was another very sad question here in Y!A from a grandmother whose son had passed away and since then the daughter-in-law had been denying them any visitation with their grandchildren apparently because her new ex-con boyfriend objected to it. That woman would have a very good chance of being granted visitation by the court in my opinion. In any case, the judge will do what he feels is in the best interest of the children. If you have compelling reasons why you feel the grandfather should not see the children, I'm sure the judge would give that a lot of weight in his decision. Good luck!
