My 16 year old sister has just had a baby girl, My mum and dad were really dissapointed to begin with but not once did they suggest for her to have an abortion it took them a few months to come round but now there all happy, my mum and dad do help out now and again like they will take the baby for a couple of hours and my sister and her bf got a flat beside them so my mum checks on them every so often to see if they are ok, but they are both great parents and the baby is happy healthy and beautiful xx

God knows what I'd do. But I do think that I wouldn't freak out and shout at her.whats the point? its already been done.
I don't think I would try to talk her into having an abortion, I would ask her what she wanted to do I guess. I might take her to Mothercare and show her how expensive it is to have a baby, then ask her how she's going to buy all that stuff, that might put her off.
Re involvement, I would let her live with me, but act like an ordinary granny. I'd buy it presents, babysit etc(esp if she wanted to study) but no I would not become a second mother to it.
Maybe I'd also barge into her room several times a night banging a spoon on a saucepan so she already has some idea of the sleepless nights, that I certainly would NOT be sharing in

My mum had the same attitude as me, and though I also shágged like a freakin e'd up bunny in my 'yoof' and never got pregnant, I knew what the score would be if I did catch.

Ladyhoova my mother says exactly the same, that's why I wouldn't do it and wouldn't ask. She works full time all week and my sister just drops her kid off and expects my mum to watch her whilst she goes off to work and my mums like 'this is my time I been working all bloody week' -

Of course I'd support my imaginary DD, but I would NOT be GrannyMum... no way, nope, uhuh, not a chance... I'd babysit sure, like any Granny, I'd do more than the average Gran, and I'd allow her to remain at home etc., I'd get as much info as I could as to what she'd be entitled to, but if that meant that in my 50's/60's when I am supposed to be becoming a little freer I'd have to be a mum all over again, sorry love, there's the door, I'm here if you need me.
Hopefully by knowing that, my imaginary dd will take precautions or simply not shág like I did at her age.

*have my nephew during in the day whilst she works
got pregnant, and I'm talking 16 or under, would you want her to have an abortion, would you try and talk her into having an abortion? If she were to have the baby how much involvement would you want to have in helping to bring the baby up?
