It's like a dream come true. All of her hard work and paying attention in school, finally paid off.

One down, one more to go. Yeppy!!!:)

A proud day for you!! So happy for you, and best wishes for your daughter's future.

Thank You, I'm not sure what her plans are and I don't think she does either.

Congrats to YOU SweetLib.

It took more than HER to graduate, YOU were a driving force also, I'm sure.

I've got one down and two to go, hope things go as well for me.

I went from being proud of my daughter, to being in shock. Now my daughter comes to me saying is Pregant, yea that's right.
And yea, I'm totally pissed about it. That was the last thing I expected from her. After spending the last 10 years raising her totally by myself, and all the preaching I done and the pills she was on. She going to have a baby in Dec.

Now I'm a nerves reck, unsure of what's to come, unsure how to handle everything. And on top of it all, very disappointed in her. Plus I'm scared for her. That she would be willing to raise a child without a father. After all, she hasn't seen her father in 10 years. When he divorce me, he also divorce the children. Why I ask, would you want to raise a child by yourself. She said's, I think I can do it. She mentions other young children having a baby and they do fine. Yes, I'm sure. But you don't have a job, so it's not fine.

She did have one but she got fired a few months back. No she hasn't found a job as of yet. I'm dead against her going down to SS, for help. Where I come from, you stand on your own two feet and make you own way. You don't wait for a handout.

I'm sure not ready to be a grandmother. I believe having a child out of wed lock is a sin. I was thinking of other options, but I will let her learn the hard way. Raising a child by yourself, isn't easy and never will be easy. She will not be getting that car, she been wanting to save up for. From here on out, her life will be change forever. It sure not for the better in my eyes.

I heard a lot of grandparents are raising their grand children. Which I'm dead against also. Grandparents shouldn't have to raise the grandchildren, because their child made a bad decision and can't afford to raise a baby. Then they expect mom, to give them money for the baby. Well in my house it don't work that way.

I'm just venting, as I will never get over what is happening. I'll take things as they come, one day at a time.
I still love my daughter with all my heart, but I don't like the bad choice she made. Children always think everything will be ok, but they don't have the life experience as we adults do.

A baby

All is not lost, Sweet. Just because she's gotten pregnant out of wedlock at an early age doesn't mean the rest of her life will be disappointing. Just wait until you hold that baby. You'll perk up and be a proud grandma.

Don't give up on her. She needs your advice and guidance even more now.

Congratulations. Can't wait for the pics.

Thanks for the support, Heather. It will take me a long long time before I perk up.

Update for anyone that cares. I'm starting to get use to the ideal. Where getting things ready for when the baby does arrive.
