Thankfully, my two children (girl 18, and boy 16) have never given me any trouble. They are well behaved, considerate, and extremely interested in their school work and accomplishing what they want in life. The opposite sex is there, but not a priority at this time. Thank goodness.
On the other hand, my husband's sister has a 14 year old CHILD who would be the death of me. But, then of course, if she was my child I would have probably killed her by now. No, let me change that statement: If she was my child she would have had a parent to teach her right and wrong.
Warning: A rant is starting --
.
Just yesterday, I found out, quite by accident, that this young 14 year old CHILD had gotten married to a 21 year old man this past week.
This unhappy ceremony happened after her mother finally gave up and signed the papers and took them in front of a judge and had them get married and then proceeded to kick them out of the house {yes, they were living there together to start with and had been for months}.
Am I
, or is there something seriously wrong with this family?! If you are stupid enough to let your teenager move in their boy or girlfriend, how can you be surprised at the outcome of this living arrangement? Yet, both mother and grandmother(my mother-in-law) can't seem to understand what has gotten into the child.
I know what has gotten into her. She has never had any raising, no parental supervision, no parent to ever tell her no, everything handed to her on a silver platter, every excuse made by her mother and grandmother as to who is to blame for everything that goes "wrong" with said child. They have never made her accountable for her own actions. It is always somebody else's fault for what happens to her. She hasn't even been in school for 3 years. And now, besides being married at 14, she is probably pregnant also.
What seriously gets me is the fact that my 2 children have always tried their best to be good, and seem to never get the attention of thier grandmother(their only grandparent). They both get straight A's, my daughter got a full scholarship to college because she was valedictorian, and stay out of trouble. In this extremely small town that we live in, there are people who don't even know that my children are related to their mamaw, but they all know about the 14 year old being her grandchild. It hurts my and my children's feelings to see this difference. What would you moms do in this kind of situation???
there will be no children for her for a long time. How can she raise a baby when she is only a baby herself?
in the worst way. Medical
