And the grandparents & the dad showed no interest, do they loose interest for ever or do they one day show up?

Happened to me and my 3 year old son. He showed interest for a little while but then disappeared. Haven't heard from him in a year! You don't need 'em anyways.

My sister had her first child at 17, before she was married. At first our parents refused to have anything to do with her. And her boyfriend dumped her. After the baby was born mom and dad decided they loved her to much to let it keep them apart and went to the hospital to she her and thier new grand daughter. Unfortunatly the boyfriend never came around again. But About 4 months later she met a great guy who is now my brother in law and treats her and my neice wonderfully. I think most parents do come around pretty quick. But so sad the dads usually don't. Good luck

I had my first before I was married. I made the mistake of marrying the father. We had 2 more wonderful kids and since have divorced. The other "grandparents" do not acknowledge that they exist. The father only gets them every few months. Deadbeats usually do not get over it.

I have a 7 yr old who's father was not there. He kicked us out in 2000 and now he regrets not being there for her. I wouldn't hold my breath on them, just do what you need to do, and let the child know that they are loved by you and him, even if he's not there, so when he does show up one day, your child would know.

that hasnt happen to me due to the fact that i havent had a child yet but it also happened to any of my relatives such as cousins that have fallen pregnant.
The word "family" actually means something, so if ur mum and dad or other relatives are behaving stupidly because of the situation, then i think that you should reject them before they reject you. Their duty is to stick besides you through everything you go through not be against you.
The only judge of you is God, so dont let them play one. If there is anyone that u should be thinking about, it is you and your child and whats best for you.
Keep it real gurl.....UK Chick...love ya even though i dont know u........lol........mwahhh!

Are you happy about having your child?
Do you love your child better than life itself?
Does it matter what they think about your child?
It's their loss and your gain!
Oh yes, by the way, when your child begins to make honors and so on in school and then on high school and college graduation day and the parties that were not interested show up to brag and be seen, and YOUR child has on the top of their graduation cap, 'THANKS MOM', will it matter that they are not there for you today?
Raise your child in the fear of the Lord, seek God's guidance and wisdom and be proud of the child that God has given you. Take care Mom!

don't ever count on other people to change. No interest know they aren't going to come around later. Do not expect a miracle. You will have to be on your own with maybe a friend or two and possibly a social worker if your are young.

my sis got pregnant before marriage. but the dad's mom and stepdad weren't interested in helping in any way. that was until my niece was born. then they only came around for the baby. so more than likely once the kid is born the dad and grandparents'll akk be more interested.

I have a son, he's almost 2 months old. The dad doesn't know about him, and good riddance to him. His parents hated me and they didn't even know me, and he put me out when I was 3 months pregnant. He doesn't deserve to have an interest.

I have 2 children and I'm not married. I wish I could help but I'm still with my daughters' father and I keep in touch our families. If this guy doesn't want anything to do with the baby, it's his loss. I'm sorry you're in this situation.
