[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you’re interested in adopting an adult child, a very nice woman in her 50’s who is a teacher and can help you with this new grandchild, please sign me up.  You are incredibly generous, spectacularly generous, to your adult children.

If you adult son is even remotely decent, once he gets over feeling clobbered in the head and wraps his mind around the reality of the situation, he should insist that his Amex allowance be given to his child.  He has a job.  And then pay child support as ordered by a court.

I hope he will step up to be a father to this child but your relationship with your grandson can be independent of his relationship ship to his (ex?) gf and his child.  It is not disloyal to your son for you to want to support the woman he impregnated and the resulting child.

Supporting your child and loving your child does not always mean agreeing with his choices.  If he takes it that way, he’s got some growing up to do, but your own relationship with Kevin is independent.

(I love that name, BTW, and seriously who is making a big deal about that anyway?  We have enough Braydens and Liams.)

One caution, OP: please don’t assume gf’s dad died of an OD.  Has she told you anything that suggests that?  That feels really classist of you.  It could have been a cardiac event, suicide, or an illness.  I know you’re dying of curiosity but maybe get invited over and get to know her more rather than Googling.)

I wish you joy in grandmotherhood!  Thank you for stepping up for this unexpected new fella!  [/quote]
