ohhhh boy !

Quote From: nell79

Who said she lied? My take on it was that she thought she couldn't conceive. She was wrong, obviously. I don't care who's right or wrong. This child is the victim here. The child is the only one who is 100% innocent. What's done is done. The child is still here. There's no going back now. If he definitely did not want children, then he shouldn't have been having sex. That's the ONLY guarantee in this life. Now it's time to step up to the plate for that child.  

   

I'm tired of seeing people not wanting to take responsibility for their actions, whether they be male or female. If he doesn't step up to the plate and be a father, it will come back to bite him later. When he dies, is he going to say, "Boy, I'm sure glad I wasn't supportive to that child..."? I think not.  

   

Whatever decision he makes, it will have an impact on that child. One could only hope it will be a positive impact.  

Ohh Boy ! I hear all of you in this matter, but with that if a mother does not wnat the child she can give the child up, relinguishing her rights emotionally, physically and financially, why should the father not be allowed to do this ! I would love for my childrens father to do this, not only is he a bad influence who hasn't seen them on over 5 years ( my ooldest daughter will be 6 in June) he has never provided one red cent to either of them. Sometimes, getting rid of Dad is the best thing for the child !

Being a mother of 2 girls, your daughter comes home <at this young girl's age> telling you she is pregnant but that she had thought it was not possible due to .... whatever.  Do you tell her you are not ready to become a Grandmother and that it's her own fault for lying??  You then now abandon this baby that is genetically bonded to you due to it all being 'based on a lie"??!!  So, you abandon all responsibility of the outcome?  That's ridiculous and it's exactly the out you are giving this young man.. no different than you as the Grandmother doing the same thing.  I worry for your daughters with your philosophy.
