[QUOTE="C.J., post: 247447, member: 1987"] I will look into Families Anonymous - good idea. Regarding N* keeping the baby to raise it herself....not a good idea. She's a lot of talk, and not a lot of follow through. Even though she quit alternative high school last spring, she did re-enroll for this semester. She went three days and quit again. She's been saying for two months, "I'm going to call social services. I'm going to take the child development classes at the pregnancy center. I'm going to check on the next GED program." When asked how any of these are coming....she says she's not feeling well, can't find the paper, I don't want to talk about this now. Brother, Wife and I did discuss with N* that we'd like to see her begin to study for the GED - there are classes at a nearby library through the local community college. Very inexpensive. She said she didn't want to stress herself out for the duration of her pregnancy. Reading is stress? There's no time restrictions - just review and study. She's not doing anything else, but sitting on her arse here at home. I'd be thrilled to see her do 30 minutes of anything around the house - put the dishes away, run the vacuum, brush the dog, do a load of laundry - ANYTHING!! I mentioned getting out the house would help with her emotional health. Sorry I mentioned that now - she said something about me never being pregnant, and how I wouldn't understand... (Detaching, detaching, thinking how I'd love to tell her about having more respect for myself than having sex with multiple partners in 1 week's time, detaching again...) Brother and Wife suggested N* use the money she will receive from the state to save to buy a "beater" car. (N* wanted to know if I'd turn her cell phone back on when she got her money from the state - but wanted to buy a different phone, because the CAMERA PHONE I BOUGHT FOR HER S*****.) Funny - she has a phone which works perfectly well, but she WANTS something better, and is willing to use the very limited resource she will receive to get what she WANTS. This GIRL is not ready to be the MOTHER this child not only needs, but deserves. [/QUOTE]
