You’ve never made a mistake? And if you did, do you blame your mother?
um. what are you talking about? i think perhaps you should read my posts before you start down that path.
I don’t think she’s saying that from her posts. She’s supporting the kid and not supporting what is being done to her in the media. That’s what I get from her posts.
I was thinking about this since last night when I heard that Palin’s 17 yr old was pregnant. As a mom of 4 girls, I was interested on a parent level (nothing political).
JMO, a 17 yr old girl is pregnant. Lots of 17 yr olds are pregnant today and not being discussed in the MSM, etc. Lots of 17 yr olds have been pregnant before marriage since forever. I could name quite a few in my own family who married as teens or young adults while pregnant. It’s certainly not the best case scenario but a baby is never a bad thing, imo.
My 12 yr old’s comment, after hearing the announcement was, “she’s not murdering her baby.” This led to an interesting discussion about premarital sex and pregnancy and the bottom line is we are a family and we’ll take care of our own. Don’t have premarital sex but if you do and get pregnant, we’ll deal with it and the new baby.
As parents, we always try our best but eventually kids will make their own choices. I remember my teen and college years well.
I always joke with my kids not to blame me when they’re adults.
Most parents try to raise their kids right, but eventually we have to let them go to make their own choices.
