Yeah maybe a baby. My middle son, who is 21 and lives at home, just told me that his GF may be pregnant. They don't know yet. I am in shock!! I know he isn't ready to be a father nor is she ready to be a mother. Nor am I ready to be a grandmother. Not that that matters much, honeslty. I have been sworn to secrecy and not allowed to talk to his GF about this, which doesn't bother me as much as him not wanting to talk about it. He says he is in shock too. It's not like they don't know better or that they don't know how sex works. So I am just a little disappointed that their lives are going to change in a way they aren't prepared to accept. They are still typical young people wanting what they want and wanting it right now. But that all ends when you are pregnant, or at least it's supposed to. In my opinion and own experieinces. By his age I had 3 kids so I don't know exactly how to approach this subject with him except that I have lived that life and know that it's not the type of situation he wants to get in to. He still throws a fit if he can't use the car, he doesn't own a car of his own. He is a typical kid that has moved back home from a living situation that he couldn't deal with. I'm just venting right now so I can get some of this out of my head coz there's not much room in there for everything I am thinking right now. I have my other son, who is 17, going to Prom tonight and everything that goes along with that. I am feeling a melt down coming soon unless I can get enough of this out of my head to resemble something normal. I know realisitically that she may not even be pregnant but the thoughts of if she is are driving me crazy. He has been through this situation before about 2 years ago. He has no children so you know how that ended up. I am just feeling so overwhelmed even though I know this is his situation to deal and I need to back off and let him and her deal with it the way they want to. And I will do that! But for now the shock is setting in and I am just trying to make some sort of sense out of it all. I guess I need to step back and let things go and definitely let my HP step in and deal with it. But my mind is just running in circles. Thanks for listening and reading.
