[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 229823, member: 3626"] She's been to Planned Parenthood before. Sadly, there was a "scare" with an old boyfriend. I just can't believe she was dumb enough to have it happen again. She's between 2.5 and 3 months, so abortion is out of the question. She says she really didn't know she was pregnant before Saturday and only then when one of her friends suggested it. She did have a light period in December and it was apparently October or November when they last did anything together. Sometimes my child really is clueless. I'm not going to bother punishing her for this. I'll be there if she needs rides, etc. Let's face it, having a baby with no education and a deadend job is punishment enough. If she decides to give it up for adoption, that will also be a pretty severe punishment. No matter what, she will be bearing the brunt of parenthood in this matter. I'll be there to give her emotional support as much as I can. The rest really will be on her. She'll be 22 in 4 days but it is such a young 22. Emotionally, I'd put her more at 15-16. She's doing good all things considered, probably better than I am but, then, I can see the difficulties she will be facing. She can't. [/QUOTE]
