[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Helping in this situation wouldn’t be helping or just being a grandparent. It would be starting over as a primary parent all over again. [/quote]

I am so surprised a bunch of moms who are barely done raising kids are so willing to start over again from scratch. Are we just servants for life with no life of our own or personal aspirations? I guess so.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone would be excited about it, no. But would you cut off your child and your grandchild just because you were ready to start traveling the world and retire? Like, sorry guys, enjoy living out of your car, I was willing to pay for your apartment when you were single but not when you’re living there with your child and girlfriend? Weird. [/quote]

so let me ask you this. Would you be ok with completely supporting both your kid and the live in partner if there wasn’t a kid involved? I’m going to imagine the answer is no. Do you think the kid in this situation probably knew that and also knew that a child might change the equation? Because I would bet yes. If I had to put a theory out it’s that the boy knew his parents wouldn’t approve of basically supporting both of them. So this was what they did to make the parents more sympathetic.[/quote]

Again, what’s done is done. The grandchild is innocent. This is your legacy. If you want the next few generations of your family to live in poverty , then, I guess we have different ideals for our family’s futures. [/quote]

statistics consistently show that teen parent’s kids also become teen parents. So the legacy would already be screwed. Get ready to be a primary caregiver until you die.[/quote]
