Today, my only child introduced his new girlfriend to me. He is 36 and has no children. She is 46 and has a pregnant daughter who she is very close with. I don't know if I'll ever be a grandfather, but in any case, my son is going to be one before me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out I'm going to be a grandfather. I'm 29, my son is 13 and the girl in question is 16. FML
Today, my daughter announced that she's pregnant. I'm going to be a 37 year-old grandmother. FML
Today, I became a grandmother. At 44 years-old. My son is 15. FML
Today, my father-in-law is still introducing me to family friends as his son's girlfriend. I have been married to his son for 5 years, we have a child together and another on the way. FML
Today, my son had a child to spite his ex and ex-stepson. He was holding his daughter in his arms in the delivery room when he told me that now I can stop visiting his ex-stepson and pretending he’s my real grandchild, because now I have a real granddaughter. I’m speechless. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who's a bit older than me, introduced me to his daughter. I was expecting a toddler. Nope, she's a year older than me. FML
Today, my husband's daughter told us that she's 5 months pregnant. I'm going to be a step grandmother and I'm only 23 years old. FML
Today, after being a dad to five girls for over 40 years, I finally had a son with my new wife. Too bad I'm 78 years-old and probably won't be around long to enough to enjoy having a boy. FML
Today, my daughter and her boyfriend excitedly told me that after months of trying they are finally pregnant and that I'm going to be a grandmother. This would be great news if they weren't 15. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's mother for the first time. She greeted us holding a baby, and I told her how cute her son was. She told me that it was her grandson. Turns out my boyfriend is the father. We're 16. FML

Offer to babysit your new step-great-grandchild, OP. You'll make the mother happy, and it'll be a necessary reminder as to why you shouldn't pressure your son into having kids if he doesn't want them.

Gasp! How DARE your son not feel obligated to give you grandchildren! *eyeroll*

I know this kind of off topic but how old is the daughter that she is pregnant she has to be kind of young.

Not true, her mother may have been younger when she had said pregnant daughter. The daughter could easily be in her early to mid twenties.

OK, because I'm getting confused reading all the comments who are calling OP the grandfather, the family relationship is: • OP • OP's son (who has no biological kids) • OP's son's girlfriend (who is close to her daughter) • Girlfriend's daughter (who is pregnant) So, if the son marries the girlfriend, *then* OP is step-grandfather to the girlfriend's daughter, and the baby will be the great-grandchild. OP, if being a grandfather means that much to you, be an active part of your son's life. That way, when the baby comes, your chances of being regarded as 'grandpa' (or yes, 'great-grandpa') will be higher.

if he's a dad to that woman's daughter, you're her grandpa. And you'll be a great grandpa

You get to be a great grandfather though. I just became a grandpa myself (Nov 1st) to my stepson & his wife's child my wife is 41, I'm 44, the son is 24 & his wife 20....just hope that the pregnant girl isn't carrying your biological grand kid..that could be really awkward to explain.

If they get married, you will be the pregnant daughter's grandfather (through marriage). You would also be a great-grandfather.
