[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it be better if she aborted... coming from a nice Christian home?  she's 23. She finished grad school. He's got a job.

Personally, I wouldn't like it if my DD got pregnant at 23, married or not, but it's better than her being 16 and pregnant.

[b]She can still teach.  It will just take longer for her to get a job.  [/b]

On the plus side, they will be young parents, you will be a young grandparent.  My DH and I are older parents, and while financially very stable, physically, it's more exhausting, body parts are failing, and my kids are still in ES.  Oh vay![/quote]

This. And probably not much longer- probably 1 year at most. Employers are literally just as likely to hire a 24 year old entry level teacher with a master's as they are a a 23 year old entry level teacher with a masters. They won't blink.

I think the problem is this isn't your vision for what YOU want for her. But its her life. She might not even have wanted this exact scenario but she's going to make choices that make her happy with her life, not being a martyr to your vision. You need to support that or risk being pushed further and further from your child and grandchild's life.[/quote]
