This is the 4 paragraphs. Sorry for not checking the preview better.
I wasn’t planning on grandchildren for at least another five years, but my son came home at age 22 and informed me that he was going to be a father. I am not a fan of his girlfriend at all; there is just something about her that makes me not trust her. I tried to communicate this to my son, but he is blinded by her beauty, among other things, and has never been able to hear what I have to say about her.
Now that the baby has arrived, my son truly has blinders on. He is so in love with his baby boy that the idea of getting a paternity test seems pointless to him. I told him that he should get it just to remove all doubt that the baby might not be his. They have had plenty of heated arguments while she was pregnant, and she is guilty of spewing comments about the baby not being his. My son assures me that she only has said those things out of anger and that the baby is most certainly his.
I had my concerns about the baby’s complexion and even his little features. In my heart of hearts, I didn’t think it was my grandchild. My son finally agreed to get the paternity test done last week, to my surprise. The results confirmed my suspicion. She was cheating on my son and got pregnant by another man. My son is beside himself with anger and humiliation and cannot believe she would go to such lengths to actually lie about something so serious.
I told my son that he needs to be reimbursed for any and all monies he spent on her prenatal care. I personally want the money back for what we spent on throwing her a baby shower and on big-ticket items we bought, like the car seat, crib, and pack-and-play. My son is emotionally scarred and can’t think straight right now, so it is my job to make sure he is asking for the right things. Is it petty to demand money back for what my son and I spent on a child that’s not his?
Yes. It is petty. Call it "Tuition" for the School of Life and move on a bit wiser for the experience.
The first thing he need to do is hire a lawyer to petition the court to remove his name as the child’s father to avoid support payments.
It's stupid. You will never see a cent. Asking for it just makes you look like a fool.
Cut your losses and stay away from the trifling bitch.
If the son’s name is on the birth certificate, he better get it off, or he will be responsible for child support expenses.
“so it is my job to make sure he is asking for the right things. “
No... he’s 22. It really is NOT your job. Your overbearing way of running his life into adulthood is probably why he wound up knocking that chick up.
It’s also why Pink Floyd wrote the Wall, the opus to overbearing mothers.
Anger understood. But, drop it. Cut all ties and never think about this woman again.
BTW, tell your son this is an object lesson and to keep his drawers pulled up always until marriage.
Being a stepping stone is one of many hard lessons in life.
I recall a lesson from grade school about crossing a rail road tracks.
STOP LOOK AND LISTEN it covers many subjects.
If he’s got his name on the birth certificate he may already be on the hook for 18 years.
Lawyer up.
See if you can get the article posting corrected. One must read post #2 to learn about a vital aspect of the story. And poor Reno is getting busted for apparently need reading #2.
The state doesnt care. It’s emphasis is on protecting loose women from their consequences, while claiming to want protect children.
Well, having the entire article - and not duplicated - does make a difference. We replied BEFORE we got the reason for the writer’s consternation!!!
Let it go .
babies are conceived between a male and a female thru s..e..x...
perhaps the young man should have NOT had sex and at least not have sex without using a condem....
no sympathy..
Paternity tests should be automatic and required for all babies before they leave the hospital. JMHO.
