Quote From: jewelsfShould the grandparents love the illegitimate child less because of the mothers choices? That's what your statement sounds like! And so what about the frumpy and overweight part! Is a parent supposed to favor the more attractive child? Your post doesn't even make any sense! You need to seriously re-evaluate what you decide to post here. Actually, you need to re-evaluate your entire way of thinking! Are you a mother? Do you prefer your more attractive children over your less attractive ones? That's a really sick way of thinking! I guess if you had a baby with a disability you would think less of him/her also!
Growing up my parents always told me in no uncertain terms that if I were to ever have an illegitimate child, they would disown me completely. Having children out of wedlock is unfair and hurtful to the children for so many reasons, and is a serious shame and I would not blame parents at all if they felt disgusted and disapointed. Out-of-wedlock kids born to teen mothers almost always grow up in poverty and without a father, and end up being teen mothers in poverty themselves. The grandparents can and should still love Jodi and her kid, but they shouldn't gloss over the fact that she has a tendency to make very bad choices. That's part of what I was referencing when I pointed out that she is obviously not taking good physical care of herself or making sensible family planning choices. She also does not take responsibility for her thieving or anything else negative she's done.
The grandparent's love Jodi's kid more than Shannon's children, as well as love Jodi more than Shannon. That's wrong and upsetting - they should be loved equally.
