Parents: How would you react if your teenage daughter told you she was pregnant?

or your teenage son had gotten someone pregnant?Parents: How would you react if your teenage daughter told you she was pregnant?
I was on the other end of that, I was a teenage father. Her Dad sat me down told me the news and then simply asked me if I was going to own up to my responsabilitys and help rase a kid. I did and now Im a grandfather. My douhter is 26 and just had twins.


First forget whos toblame for get any thing but What to do now. Some people say talk it out and help them make an informed dision, Hog wash, if thay where able to make anything near one of thoes she would not be pregnant. You are the parent you pay the bills your the one people will be shaking the head at and Heck, YOU made her so Look at it from a standpoint of Can you aford it, If thay help can you? Is either able to emotionaly or Mently grasp the concept of being a parent? It is not up to them unless thay are emansapated moved out and paying for it. Sorry Im not a soft touch but I hope you get the meaning Im trying to give. At there age,, ';No Brain, No effect';. So think for them. Contackt the other parents to, make sure thay know there son is out making kids and make them heft there shair of the responsability,, and get there shair of the shamed looks and shaking heads.


My best to you all in this and I hope the outcome is as good as ours. We BTW got lucky.Parents: How would you react if your teenage daughter told you she was pregnant?
I'd demand, ';What part of take your pill and use a condom DIDN'T you understand???';





Then I'd regroup, and ask the kids what they planned to do. If they were keeping it, I'd figure out how my family was going to raise a baby (if it was my daughter) or make sure that he was an involved parent (if it was my son).
My first reaction would be shocked %26amp; scared, for about five minutes. Then, I'd want to support the two teens in the best way I could, for the good of all concerned. That would differ, according to the whole situation, of course.
I would tell my child that I was there for them. I would help raise the baby, but would also make sure they do their part. People make mistakes, but at their age you have to continue to teach them and let them grow and learn from their mistakes!
I'd ask myself........





WHERE DID I GO WRONG?





Then I'd find out where I blew it and see if there's a solution.
My parents cryed alot, and were very upset.
