[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never cut off my kids. Especially for something like this. What I would do is pay for day care so they can work/go to school. This is something I have though about a lot because I have 3 teen/YA boys and I live in Texas. [/quote]

OP here. I wouldn’t “cut them off” I would simply not help financially at all. I would still have them over for dinner from time to time and would spend a normal grandparent amount of time with the baby. But I will not be used the way some of these commenters seem to have no problem with. I love being a mom-but I also have  an identity, interests etc…outside of being a mom and I am not starting over when I’m just reaching a time in my life to actually have some time for me. This was a choice. Choices come with certain things. And this choice comes with struggle and learning what being a parent without any financial means is like. I’m not the one who made the choice. [/quote]

Also to add I am happy to pay for college and help with professional school as well. And living expenses through that time. I just wouldn’t support a choice like the one posted. [/quote]

Are you OP?

Because you just did a 180 and are now stating the exact opposite of what you first wrote.

All of us who have been telling you that a parent should support their young adult financially are saying exactly this. No one is going to congratulate an 18 year old for becoming pregnant! No one is going to be happy about it. The SUPPORT means ensuring they preserve professional potential, care for their baby in a safe manner, and avoid homelessness.

You come across like a massive liar, OP. First you say you would cut them off, now you say you'd pay for college.

You just made this thread up for kicks, didn't you?
