[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 198754, member: 5957"] Hi, Don't know anything about your life but wanted to offer my thoughts i nthe hopes that it might be an idea worth contemplating. My first thought was maybe some kind of trial run. Maybe if you could arrange to have her work in a supervised environment(so no child would be harmed just in case) like a day care. Or if you coul "borrow" an infant for just a day/overnight for her to see what it was like. There was a show this summer called "Baby Borrowers" in which they did this very thing. There were persons that gave their children to teens for a few days. The teens took sole care of them. There were video cameras monitoring and the parents were just next door in case of anything happening. There were also nannies in the teens home but were in place only for emergency need. The show was interesting to me and proved that emotional maturity is neccessary before having kids. NONE of the teens wanted kids when it was over. Many of them wanted to quit the program after just a day or so. Don't know if this would work in your situation but thought I'd let you know my thoughts. Best wishes and good luck. [/QUOTE]
