Whenever Teen Pregnancy comes up, its not a large step from someone saying "what if your daughter got pregnant?"

And that statement always felt so one-sided to me. She didn't get pregnant alone... so here comes my question.

Lets say your son gets a girl pregnant. what would your reaction be?

Guys, what if you got a girl pregnant? What if your son did?

Ladies, lets say you're the mom of the father, whats your reaction?

Would you push your child to make a certain choice about it, if so, what would that choice be?

Good question!

If my son got a girl pregnant, I wouldn't tell him to tell her to have an abortion or put it up for adoption or anything like that. I feel if they got pregnant, they should accept the responsibility and they have to decide what to do with the baby. I wouldn't let him leave the girl or abandon her. I would push him to stay with her and help her through the pregnancy, since it's his fault, along with hers, that they got pregnant.

I would try to talk to both of them and discourage abortion. It's ultimately their choice, but I would be upset if they chose abortion, even if it's beneficial to both of their lives.

If my son got a girl pregnant, I wouldn't be too upset. But they both have responsibilites to live up to. He can't dump the girl, just because he can't handle fatherhood. It was his choice to have intercourse with this girl, and if he gets her pregnant, he has got to help. Once my son has had a kid, his life has started. I of course would help, but only slightly. I'm not going to babysit the child all day. If he's in school, I'll babysit for the first 4 months and the mother's mother could help with that also, then after that, he needs to send the kid to a daycare.

If they choose to have an abortion, I wouldn't like the idea; but it's not my kid.

I wouldn't let him just leave her.
I'd expect them to both get together and make a decision on it. Whether it be abortion, adoption or keeping the baby. But if they decided to keep the baby, I'd expect him to help.
Depending on my job at the time and such, I probably wo uldn't mind looking after the kid at all. However, I'm not willing to do it all day everyday. A couple times a week.

Lets say your son gets a girl pregnant. what would your reaction be?
If I had a son, I would be very angry. I would make him take full responsiblity and even if him and the girl aren't dating anymore, hed have to do half to work. Honestly, I wouldn't be very supportive, I would try, and as bad as it sounds, its a terrible mistake and I would incourage the girl not to keep the baby just from what has happened to the majority of teen parents.


Ladies, lets say you're the mom of the father, whats your reaction?
I would incourage the girl not to keep the baby. I would make my son appoligize and have a complete talk with her parents and make the decision then.

Would you push your child to make a certain choice about it, if so, what would that choice be?
Abortion or Adoption


Edit: These are my first reactions, as I think about it more I would really try to be more supportive than I sound. But I would much rather have my kid as for Condoms, Birth Control or whatever they need and me know that they are being safe with their sex than them going behind my back and having sex. If it was them having un protected sex I would be furious, but I would try to help them out so their lives weren't ruined.

I agree with everyone. He helped her get pregnant. So he should help take responsibility of the child. And if they kept the baby as a grandmother I'd help watch and care for the baby. Its not the baby's fault its parents screwed up. Its still a human being. It deserves the best life possible.

If my son got a girl pregnant, I'd be very angry and make him take responsibility. But of course I'd want the girl to own up also.

As the grandmother, I'd definitely babysit though. I'd be mad at my son, but not at the baby.

I completely agree.
