Get the father and his family (if he's young) and my daughter and partner together and work out exactly what we're going to do. If she wanted to keep the baby, I think it'd be obvious that the four grandparents would have to shoulder some of the parental burden (and perhaps all the financial burden).
It's probably the time my daughter would need the most support, so I'd try to make sure she got it. But I'd hope she and I were open enough that she could tell me she was having sex and I could supply her with condoms and tell her to make sure he uses them.
I'd support her and love her. She'd still be my daughter and her child would be my grandchild. It's going to be tough enough for her, why make it worse just because it's not the situation I would have hoped for?
I probably only have the patience to raise one kid without wanting to destroy it. So if I had one (forbid!), I'd refuse to start all over once mine became a horny teen. She would have a choice to abort, adopt out, or find somewhere else to live with it. I would allow her to come home after the birth, but she wouldn't be bringing the baby into my house. Yes I'm mean.
Well, I'd be upset, but there would be nothing I could do about it. disowning her is not going to make it go away. Yes; I would definatly still love and support her, but at the same time, I'm not going to make it any easier for her. She would still be 100% (or 50% if the father sticks around) responsible for this child. She would get a job, take the child to school when he/she is old enoough, feed the child, change the diapers, be there for the child, and everything that a mother is supposed to do for her baby because it is HER child and I'm not going to be responsible for something I didn't make. Now as far as watching the child when she is at school, I guess I would have to, but her hanging out with friends, partying, being a teenager days are over! If she made an adult decision like having unprotected sex then she will have to grow up fast and be an adult.
My older sister was pregnant at 16. At first my parents were mad, but that was mainly because they got told off somebody else and were the last to know. After that though, pretty much everyone in the family has been very supportive. I know it's a young age, but I'm kind of glad it happened because my nephew is one of my favourite people. Also, both my aunty and my nana were pregnant at that age, so it's not really that much of a big deal.
I will keep all the boys away from my daughter. I would possibly kill them. No, not really. I would have to support her and the parents of the boy will have to also help some. They would still need to be provided with the opportunity to finish school and go to college/university.
I'd be disappointed but I'd be excited to have a grandbaby and I'd see to it that she gets the best care that I can give her and try to ease her into motherhood and do my best to keep her in school.
After the delivery, I would get her on birth control pronto. I want to be able to have an open dialogue about sex in my household with my children the way my Mother did.
Chuck her out. No seriously I would still love her I'd be so pissed but a child is a blessing no matter the circumstances except rape of course, I would make it explicit how her life is going to change drastically be her shoulder to cry on. I feel most parents treat their children unfairly when they get pregnant at such a young ages but they important thing is to try and move forward taking the right path them continuing with school etc. To all the parents out there yes your child had intercourse yes she's pregnant shit happens and by shit I mean the consequences it will have on her the sacrificesq she will have to make not the bringing a baby into this world part. The worst thing that could happen is when a parent loses their relationship with their child because they're still pissed off.
I would support them and sit and talk with her and the father to figure out how they wanted to handle it. I would hope she chooses termination or adoption but I would still support her with whatever choice she decided to make.
