Just got word a few days ago that my oldest grand daughter is pregnant at age 18. My heart is just sick about this. This is a young lady who has so much promise for her life and seems to be on a downward spiral. Not sure what is going on with her. She is 18, not graduated yet, no car, no job and moved out of her parents home 2 months ago. She has gone from a total mommy’s girl to someone I do not know.

A little history. My grand daughter lived with my husband and I for the first 5 years of her life. Her mother became pregnant at 18 also and was unmarried. The difference was that my daughter was graduated high school, had her own car and had a job. My daughter also lived at home and had the support of the whole family to help her raise her child. She had built in child care so she could get a leg up and get continued education and was able to secure a job to support herself. She also married and had someone to complete her own family.

For some reason my grand daughter thinks that she can have this baby and raise it without a job, without an education and without a spouse to help support her and her family. Where is the logic behind all this? Is she just lazy? I am beginning to think so!

I love this girl with all my heart and have no clue as to where all this is going. I see disaster written all over this.
