[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 103662, member: 135"] As the grandmother of two "unplanned" grandkids, I can relate to the feeling of panic and disbelief you are probably feeling. [img]:smile:[/img] Although my difficult child's situation is much different than yours (both mom and dad are much TOO YOUNG to be parents), in other ways there are parallels as neither of them seem to be able to hold a job for more than a month or two. difficult child continues to smoke pot. The whole situation is enough to make me pull my hair out but difficult child's wife does seem to be a good mother and they get food stamps so I know they're not letting the kids go hungry. I agree with the others about letting time take its course and see what happens. My difficult child wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the posterior and yours may be the same. Maybe she's pregnant; maybe not. If she is the one with the drug problem, maybe she will carry the baby to term; maybe not. If she is actually pregnant, maybe she will choose to carry the baby to term; maybe not. I think all you can do at this point is stand back and let nature take its course. I can say that if the result is a baby, a baby is a joy no matter what the situation. There are times I could kill both difficult child and his wife (actually that is only a figure of speech [img]:rolleyes:[/img] ) but the grandkids are one of the joys of my life in spite of everything. As far as her getting pregnant at 44, it does show a definite lack of responsibility but considering her history and her choices, it is doubtful that she is a paragon of whatever. I am reminded that I had my last difficult child at nearly age 40 and I had absolutely NO PROBLEM getting pregnant. I wasn't even trying so just because somebody is OLD doesn't mean the plumbing doesn't still work. [/QUOTE]
