[QUOTE="maril, post: 198779, member: 5937"] I didn't even know there was such a shot! I learn something new every day. Anyway, bran155, I feel for you. We were in a similar situation with my son and his ex-girlfriend (ages 16 and 17, respectively, at the time) last summer. His girlfriend was enchanted with the idea of having a baby and openly expressed how she knew girls, who had babies at her age and did fine. A little unrealistic there. I also became aware that she was encouraging my son to have a child with her. Long story short: My husband and I (mostly me talking/husband in attendance) made it crystal clear to difficult child and his ex that we were not willing to take responsibility for a baby, etc. I also spoke with my son separately more than once about what the responsibilities of a parent would be, including commitment to taking proper care of the baby, i.e., probably having to get multiple jobs, forgetting about hanging out with friends, tending to the baby's needs 24/7, etc. It seems becoming a dad was the last thing my son wanted. Anyway, she did not become pregnant and they eventually broke up and moved on with their lives. I wish I could be more helpful. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
