[QUOTE="witzend, post: 319926, member: 99"] She seems to be having nice little hissy fit. I'm with you totally on this one. They want to be adults, they can't be babies who need us all of the time anymore. And to bring child into the world on purpose under these circumstances is appalling. If she has half a lick of sense, she knows that. I guess I would try to not put your own opinions on her, since she doesn't care what you think and expects the worst. I would ask her how [I]she[/I] feels about it, then I wouldn't play into it. "I feel scared, I don't know what I'm going to do." "I'm sorry you are having a hard time. I'm sure you will find something that will help." I can't help but think of Jon Gosselin with his disinterested parenting. He had kids because he could, not because he was excited to bring someone into the world and help them be the best person they can be. Your daughter made the decision to have a child the way I might decide to change my hair color. Because I can now and I might not be able to later. She's absolutely selfish. I hope that she'll decide to put her children first from now on. I don't blame you at all for not being excited. And we would [I]love[/I] to hear about your new beau! [/QUOTE]
