What would you do if your teen age daughter (or son) got pregnant?

Question

At a young age? And how would you avoid it?

Answer 1

My friend was a teen when she had her 1st baby and her parents made her take care of him. They made her give him every bath, get up with him in the night, feed him his every meal, you name it... they made her do it. She couldn't even go out with friends unless she hired a babysitter. She was too young to have a job therefore had no money. Having a baby is a big responsibility, her mom wasn't trying to be mean - she just wanted 'Sara' realize that it wasn't the responsibility of other people, but her own to take care of that baby. Sara is a little older now and is glad her mom handled things the way she did. One day I asked Sara if she missed going out with Jake and being active, she said no because she saw where it got her and plus she was too tired and wore out from taking care of the baby and doing school work. Yes, her parents made her stay in school and graduate. Her mom only kept the baby while Sara was in school, but as soon as Sara walked in the door, her mom handed the baby over to her.

Answer 2

There is no avoiding the situation. If it was my daughter she will keep the baby, when that baby is born I will have her go get a job and take care of it because I am not doing it for her. Pretty much she will learn that once you lay down and get pregnant knowing it was forbidden being a child, then therefore her childhood years will be over. I will go to the parents of the boy who laid down with my daughter and let them he will take care of it, if not I will seek legal action and have the parents of the boy help take care of it. If it was my son, oh he will get a job and he will never see any of those paychecks because I will make sure they go into a bank account for the baby. If kids want to do grown folk things then you need to sock it to them and not baby them around. I know I won't.

If you do not want your son getting a girl pregnant or your daughter getting pregnant let them no that SEX is not allowed until they are out of your house at the age of 18 paying their own rent and bills. If they have sex they can either get a baby or some kind of disease and it makes them look bad to society.

Answer 3

I will be there for my kids. There's no way I could disown them. I was 18 when I had my oldest child, so for me to get upset would make me a hypocrite. If it ever does happen, my kids will have to take care of their own responsibilities. I don't believe in abortion so I would hope that my daughter would have her child. If she couldn't raise it, then talk to her about adoption. I would support my daughters in everything they do. You can avoid it by teaching your kids about sex and the consequences of it. My fiance and I know firsthand that you CAN get pregnant on birth control. This will definitely be something our daughters will know that can happen. STD's are more important than pregnancy though. A child is your child and can bring joy, but a disease can kill you.

Answer 4

I would ask just how the hell they expect to support the baby,then I would send the kids dad over to talk to the other kids parents. Then after I had vented all my anger I would throw my daughter (assuming I'm the girl's mom) a baby shower. In order to avoid this from happening in the first place,tell them horror stories about the pain and show them videos of their birth.

Answer 5

i am 18 and got pregnant at 16 and my little sis got pregnant at 14. we were both pretty young. your best bet is to stay calm and not try to push anything on them. my mom let me and my sister decide what we wanted to do and respected it.......we both decided to keep But the one thing she did was made us get a job asap when we were old enough and only helped when we needed it. She did not babysit a lot and made us do all the work like get up at night bathe the baby change the baby, do the laundry she made us do everything and made sure we corrected our fauls to make us good parent. we grew up fast but we are both good parents and my mom never fetl bad .....not once if we ever missed a party or couldnt hang with friends cuz she said if we were grownup enough to get pregnant we were gonna have to be grown up enough to deal with the consequeces and bsides it was our choice to keep our kids. my mom did babysit for school dances and stuff and she still babysits everynow and then 2 times a week if that....but not if the baby is sick. My mom didnt do anything physically but she did teach us a lot and its because of her that i am a good mom. So just be supportive in whatever she/he does but remember that they are the ones responsible for it and make them live up to their responsibilities.

Answer 8

a million- i'd obviously be disillusioned when I first got here upon out. Then i'd sit down mutually with her and we would communicate her ideas. i'd enable her do not ignore that inspite of she felt become accurate will be what we would do yet i'd also tell her she desires to do what's truly best for the toddler. i'd push slightly extra for adoption yet she will have the ability to do what she needed with the aid of the indisputable fact that's her toddler. i'd help her and love her because no count how undesirable she screws up i visit love her. 2- i'd desire I raised him nicely adequate to adhere round and help the female. i'd meet with the girls father and mom, her and my son and we would communicate what the female would want to do and what direction we would bypass. i'd be disillusioned back yet i'd help him and love him. I even do not understand what the LG cookie is even if it sounds tasty =)

Answer 9

i will sit them down mother and father talk to them about there plans with raising a child i would be upset but i would support it because i don't believe in abortions the way to prevent it putting girls on birth control and telling them the risks of getting pregnant young and boys make sure the are stocked up on condoms and talk tho them about getting pregnant young also

Answer 10

Talk to them about it. Tell them they can get STD's by having sex and Orel sex. And if your daughter comes home pregnant then i would to any thing and every thing to help her. Or if you son comes home and says that he go a girl pregnant then i would talk to him about how if he dose things like he is a man then he should be responsible like a man and be there for the girl.
