my hands r full (819.3 days ago)
i would never kick my child out for getting pregnant at a young age.. everyone makes mistakes but that doesnt mean i will let her have it easy. i got pregnant at a really young age and my parents were very disappointed but supportive. if my daughter got pregnant i would help as much as i can so she can finish hs and if old enough to get a job she will need to do that. but i would never kick her out cause of that.. how sad.

I would never kick out my child if she got pregnant but I would set some very clear ground rules on what she is responsible for financially and domestically. I would shower her with love and the baby as well.

My mom got pregnant at 17. Grandma made her drop out of HS marry the father and move into a tiny apartment. She got pregnant again RIGHT away (oops) and got a divorce when her 2nd child was 9 months. IF she had mentally supported her and allowed her to make a plan and proceed I am sure she wouldn`t have had the second and I KNOW she never would have married him then divorce. BTW, I would support BUT, there had BETTER be a plan with short and long term goals toward independence.

Armymom you`ve read that book too!!! My FIL insisted I read it so I read his copy, and my in-laws quiz was in the back so I read it and my FIL was all lovey dovey in it and my MIL was all `I hate love I want gifts` lmao.

kicking a child out wont unpregnate her, nor will it teach her any real values. it will also endager her health and the unborn child`s health. i cant stand to think of ever ever ever tossing my child to the streets simply bc they made a mistake. i wouldnt give her a free ride either. i would be supportive and help her. she would need to finish school. Forcing the child to have an abortion could lead to all sorts of emotional issues. you want you child to learn from their mistakes, not to learn that if somethign doesnt go your way you just `get rid of it`. i would talk to her about all the options and let it be her choice. while i wouldnt want her to abort for my own personal reasons, i would still support her if that were her choice, same as if she wanted to have the baby and keep it or have it and give it up. it makes me so sad to see people on this site who are trying to have babies, or who are pregnant saying that they would toss their child out if they made a mistake. why even bother having a child then??? so many teenage mothers end up on the streets selling their body, doing drugs, stealing and even selling their babies bc their parents threw them out. horrible. i count my blessings i have such good parents who love me and support me no matter what. the taught me well, and im going to be there for my daughter regardless if i dont agree with her decisions. thats what being a parent is all about.

honestly if she wanted to keep it i would kick her out, if your under 18 your too young IMO. i mean you can`t even get an apt or anything under 18 same should be for raising a kid. but if she wanted to give it up i would definately let her stay

I`d like to say I`d let her live at home and help some but my love launguage is gifts and acts of kindness so without knowing it I would probably end up doing everything myself and paying for everything also. lol.. I`d do my best to do the right thing and help her get on her feet and be there for her when she needed me but I find it really hard to let go of control sometimes.

Well, Ive been there. I got pregnant at 14. My parents were not supportive. I lived at home til I finished HS, but I got treated like I had some disease til I gave birth. I know Ive written this here b4, but they actually drove me to the abortion clinic without telling me thats where we were going. I flipped and got a cab home...If this were my daughter, I would be hurt at 1st, because I know 1st hand how hard it is, so Ive been very open with them on this subject to help PREVENT this happening. But, accidents happen, and if she got pregnant, I would be there for her in every way.

depends on the situation. if she was raped. would help as much as possible. if she planned to get preggo she best be payin her keep. if it was a surprise i would support as much as possible as long as she was working towards major accomplishments ie if she is working towards college etc.

I could never kick her out. I wouldn`t pay for everything for her child, that`s her responsibility and the father`s. But I could never kick her out. I was just wondering what everyone thought because my best friend`s little sister is pregnant and they are kicking her out once the baby is born.

My sisters got pregnant in their teens and moved out to try to make it on their own. They struggled, struggled, struggled and only now that they are older are things looking up for them. Neither one of them finished high school. One sister is 35 and just enrolled in college!!! I am so excited for her. If my daughter or son experienced a teen pregnancy, I would be there 100%. I would want them to stay in school, remain involved in their extra curricular activities, but also be responsible for their child. I would love to help raise any grandchildren and give as much support as my kids allow...I am raising them to be responsible and self-suffient in regards to money and themselves, so I don`t think they would take advantage of my generosity. It would be unfortunate, but I would want to help them make this important transition as easy as possible, so they don`t end up feeling resentment towards their child.
