[QUOTE="mom23gsfg, post: 124511, member: 4445"] this is a touchy subject for me at the moment as my 16 yr old daughter stephanie is currently 5 mo pregnant. i was also a very young mother and i was also a difficult child. due to my illness and home problems when i was younger but thats another story. but, has anyone thought that maybe this baby could turn her life around? thats what it took for me. i stopped caring about my own bratty wants and started thinking about hers. and tried to make a life for myself instead of the road i was taking. in my opinion life happens for a reason and it a gift from god no matter how it got here, who knows she could turn out to be a good mother. ive watched my own former difficult child turn from a rebellious girl into a smart effiecient young lady even if she is young. this has made her grow up alot. she is still in school and working and before she was even 2 1/2 mo along she had already bought enough baby stuff for the baby for the next year. and she continues to but for him/her. and luckily her fiance (they are getting married this weekend and not because of the baby but they have been engaged for a while before this)he is standing by her .which most young fathers would have hit the road by now.they are saving his paycheck for their home and etc. and believe me it was a shock at first but i was willing to take this child on from the moment i found out. there are services that will help her if she wants to keep this baby. mentors will come to her home and help her adjust to being a mom. they will also give her parenting classes and etc. the resources are long and wide. jmho but i think if she got away from her hub she would be better off and maybe turn her life around. but i really dont know your daughter so who can say what will happen.? in my humble opinion though i think maybe giving this baby up could make her life misserable. i know youve got to do whats best for the baby at this time but i would honestly let her make up her own mind and just offer any support i could. even if it was raising baby yourself. i honestly believe that you could possibly regret it if she gave him/her up and you didnt take him/her. i hope i didnt offend you, but im just sharing my honest oppinion and my experience. but all difficult children dont turn around ,as i well know. and im not the person that has to live your life or deal with the consiquinces of her actions. so you just have to do what is best for you and your family. good luck [/QUOTE]
