I would have to stay by her side. I too was a mother at the age of 17, not to twins though thank God. Although my mom wasn't happy she dealt with it ok and she didn't kick me out.

well its more common these days to see teenage pregnancy. I would never kick my daughter out, yes she made a bad decision and yes there are going to have to be changes made, but when you kick her out you are not only ruining her life... you are ruining your own life as you do it. So i would be supportive and just be there for my child.

Hi there michele609! I would never kick my daughter out, if she was too young, i would care for the baby while she studied and made something for her life. I know my parents would of kicked me out as i didn't have a good relationship with them, but i just want the best for my little girl! :)

We all want the best for our children, your a good mother, the thing that my mother did not do that made me curious was talk about it with me, she would never let me go to the health class when they spoke about it. so i became curious, but I would have waited if I known what I was in for, now being a mother of 5 year old twins. But I might have moved fast but I take care of them and you would never have known that I was a teen mom! Thank You for your comment!

I would stand by her, I think kicking her out would be the worst thing you could do.

alot of parents are so mad at the fact that they got pregnat, that they dont even think about the unborn child, they just kick the girl and dont think that it would effect the baby. I think your a great mother, my mom was upset but she was by myside then and now!

I would stay by my daughters side. She's going through enough adn is probably scared shitless! I would help her out as much as possible! If she wanted to give it up for adoption I would adopt it too! That way my daughter could still be a kid and have a relationship with the child as well!

i was pregnant at 15. My parents were very mad. But they supported me through my pregnancy. My mom was more scared then I was. My daughter will be 11 on Nov. 16th. THere is no way I would kick her out if she got pregnant. And I wouldn't expect her to get married either. I would expect her to finish school.

I would not kick her out. That's my grandbaby in there. I don't believe in kicking people whil they are down. I am sure I would be angry and disappointed, but I am certainly not perfect. I would do what we needed to do to insure a healthy baby AND a healthy teenage mother, physically and emotionally and spiritually.

it's a terrible news for the mother, no doubt about it. i will be really dissapointed, angry about that. but despite all that, she is my daughter. i think i will stay by her side, support her and help her during the pregnancy. children are gift by god, so we need to take care and grateful for the gift. everything happens for a reason

babies - cute babies
i would stay by her side and support her. i think at moments like this, she need support the most. My mother was worried that I got pregnant when i was 17, but now that im 29 and still single, she wish that i'm pregnant. LOL.

Congrats. I was 18 when I had my son. I am now due Feb 16. I am 30 now, so waited a long time. Your mother should be commended for staying by you. I wish you all the luck in world. My son is the light of my life. There are definitely things I would do over...for instance keep a baby book (didn't do that and regret it now). Just love your baby to pieces. They are only babies for such a short period of time. Here is wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

I would tell her that what is done is done and we will get through this together. I would help her in anyway I can, yet would encourage her to take responsibility of her child.

I would tell my daughterthat Iam upset at her bad choice butthat I still love her and I will help her as much as I can. After all she is my daughter and that is my grand child she is caring. The best I can do forthem is forgive and offer allthe love and support I can offer. They are going through a very tough time and she dosnt need to feel like she is not loved, when she is loved very much. I hope everyday that my daughters make the right decisions when they get older, but I am also preparing myself for surprises that may arise in that time.

Never ever. I would teach my daughter the facts of life from an early age and abstinence. But by any chance if she does get pregnant I would stand by her. A teenager is confused, frightened and devastated enough when she hears shes pregnant. She will need all the support she can get and I will be there.
