What Would You Do? #1
by: Angel

What would you do if your child [current or future] told you they were going to have a baby?

My daughter is only 2 years old. I would seriously hope I have until she's 30 to worry about that!

I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant [less than a month until my 19th birthday], and I told my mom by waking her up at midnight, crying, telling her she was going to be mad at me. Turned out she wasn't. She just wanted to go back to sleep.

So to put myself in my mom's shoes, I wouldn't have reacted that way. I would have freaked out. I can not imagine my baby having a baby. I don't want to, really. After I calmed down, though, I'd ask her what she was wanted to do. If she was going to keep the baby, give it up for adoption or if she was considering abortion as an option. I would try to be open minded enough that I can hear her out without putting in my own two cents since it'd be her choice on what she should do. Or at least, that's what I'd want to do. I really wouldn't know how I'd react until it happened.

So what would you do if you were placed in this situation? If you write about this "what would you do" question, please leave a link to your writing or post in my guestbook. I would like to see what you would do.
