I'm sorry I do feel for you. My daughter had a baby at 19. She's 5 months old now & I wouldn't take it back. But my parents werent ready when I had her at 24. I don't think they thought they'd be around to see their ggrandkids but surprise! Don't worry about grams, she'll be fine
Yes, because the best reason to have a baby is because someone else feels "left out." Ask her this, if you have a baby, does she have to go through the symptoms of pregnancy, does she have to experience the pain of childbirth, is she going to financially support it, is she going to care for it when it wakes up at all hours of the night, is she going to teach it everything it needs to know to survive as a human being, will she put it through school? Kids are a lot of work, a big responsibility and a lifetime commitment. This is not her decision to force on you, she does not need great-grandchildren, she already had kids and grandchildren, which provide for the same experiences. This is your life, not hers, your job is to do what's best for you and what makes you happy, it is unacceptable to guilt you about such a major life decision.
You do not own your grandmother or mother or anyone a child. I am just saying because society will tell you otherwise.
Tell her to get to work on giving you more aunts & uncles.
