difficult child#2 and his wife are having another baby.
He will be 21 in May, she won't be 21 till December. THey have a 3 year old and a one year old. Neither one of them have jobs although difficult child does make some money scrapping but he wastes more then he earns. My mother and I have been helping them pay a few basic bills and they do get food stamps so they won't go hungry. They live in a house that we own so the grandkids have a roof over their heads. She has bipolar and he is borderline. THey fight like cats and dogs and I don't think the marriage will last till the kids grow up. Right now I like her better than I do my own difficult child as he is being a real south end of a horse going north.
BUT...I know a baby is supposed to be a blessing. I don't want to feel bad about this baby. I don't want them to feel that way...they have apparently decided that they will have it. I don't know if I would make the same choice but it is not my choice to make. She was on the pill when she got pregnant with all 3 of these kids. I don't know if she's too dumb to take them right or what. After the last baby, difficult child went to see about getting a vasectomy but the doctor wouldn't do it because he is so young. Do you suppose we can get the doctor to support this kid?
Anyway, I guess I will be grandma to #3. It would be great, if only he'd get a job and keep it. Oh, well....
