If your teen gets pregnant...?

[muchacha bonita]

(even if they are not teens but he/her lives in your house)after you warned her/him about all the consequences of having sex before marriage, would you still support them? I've seen parents support this and the kid just ends up getting pregnant again if it's a guy they don't stop screwing around and they start leaving kids spread out everywhere, and it is not fair for just one of them to face consequences.My little cousin got his girl pg and now he has to work and pay child support while the girl just does nothing and makes her parents take care of the baby, my little bro got his girl pg and he works and makes good $$ now, but she is the one that has to wake up late at night ,change the baby...ect

To an extent if they made it they need to take care of the baby. If they are not going to then they need to move out and the baby can stay.

Well i don't have kids yet, but i would def. support them..because they are MY CHILD and i love them, but more then that i would just say " hey thats my grand baby in you ...right there inside you, so you better take care" lol

In a way I agree with 'Angela'..I have always told my daughter, and my sons that if a pregnancy occurs, they will take responsibility for that child. They will have to leave my house, and live on their own. I will support them emotionally, however, not financially. If something happens and they still need to live in my house, and say the gf/bf gets kicked out of their home, they can come live with me, however, WILL be paying room and board, and will take care of the baby. I will babysit once in a while, but will not be a live-in babysitter! I have explained this to all of my children who are 19, 17, 11, & 10. I also feel that child care should be split.....kind of like custody. Mom needs a break too, and needs to get a good nights sleep.JMHOMomma P

so then what do yew want to know

To be honest, no. Not trying to sound cold, but if my child feels they're mature enough to have sex, then they're mature enough to support themselves when a baby comes along. I would not be a full-time babysitter, I would not paid for the child's needs, and my kid will take responsibility, not just have the child and ditch it at some god-forsaken adoption center after birth. If anything, I'd pay/help pay for an abortion. Maybe if they we're over 20 and fully aware of what having a baby means, I would support them.

i was a teen mum.my mum supported me through the entire thing. i lived independently from her she ididnt have to take care of my baby or me.but when i needed ti she was there.pergnancy is not the end of the world. its the start of a whole new one and you DO NOT have the right to make anyone feel awful and unsupported just because they have make a mistake in their judgement.my daughter is a happy health beautiful and intelligent little girl and no one would even guess she was the child of a "teen mum".

When they have babies, they are their responsibility so they should be left to support them on their own :)
