Re: Wanna share my joy???
You and your daughter sound like fantastic Mum's, My eldest daughter had her first baby when she was 29 and she just couldn't cope so when he was less than a week old i had to have him for a few nights she then went back to work early and i looked after my grandson because her and her husband found having a baby was too hard,(they both went through a lot to have him) they are both good parents now but my point is age doesn't make you a good Mum or Dad, its the work you are prepared to put into the child that makes you good parent's, so enjoy your beautifull grandson,
am feeling abit of a dribbly mess and on a little defensive downer today.........does it show??

can't explain why, but am still the same dribbly mess as of my earlier post, and i didn't even HAVE the baby...
I'm really pleased that you have that kind of relationship with your daughter, it's a beautiful thing to have....

Hi All.....
My very brave 16yr old daughter gave birth last night (7th March 2008) at 11.45pm to a gorgeous baby boy!!
Jak Robert James weighed in at 5lb 10oz even though he was 6wks and 4days early.....
Both are doing great, tho Jak will be in NICU for a little while until he's feeding properly....
I am now a very proud Grandma at the ripe old age of 36!!!
Just wanted to shout it out and share it with the world!!

Re: Wanna share my joy???
Smiling did forgive me after I apologized and said.
"Apology accepted....
just a shame theres such a stigma attached to teenage girls and pregnancy....you probably said what alot of people think, just had the guts to say it....no harm done and and they are all doing great!!
Maybe its because youngish blokes are a bit thick and do say what comes straight to our heads.
But the daughter and boyfriend seem like a great couple and I really did not
mean to offend.

good luck to your daughter and her fella and tell them to ignore comments from people they just don't have a life themselvesLisa

Re: Wanna share my joy???
having a child at any age can be tough, as previously posted, i was just 17 when i had my first, but kept my head cool, (mouth can runaway from me at times...) ignored bad comments and got on with loving my children and bringing them up to the best of my ability....

Re: Wanna share my joy???
I think you've obviously been a great mum and will be a great gran. I had my first at 31. Had I waited until I felt I was mature enough to bring a child into the world and bring it up, I would still be without them now. "Accidents" happen at any age but the fact that both you and her boyfriend are 100% behind her speaks volumes.

Re: Wanna share my joy???
they catch transport home from school and my son didn't line up properly so that deserved a right telling off and shouting match from a huge 6ft+ headmaster, to the point that my poor boy was cowering and hiding behind his book bag sobbing his heart out and the brute of a man was only inches from my boy's face....:curse: a lady up the road who collects her kids from school beat the bus home and came marching up to the bus stop to tell me as she saw everything and even had to comfort my son whilst standing on his own waiting to go on the bus!!! he wasn't allowed to wait with the other kids.... i saw red...:curse: came home and phoned the school, went completely mad at the head, yet he said he has no reason to apologise for the way he shouted at my lad....i reasoned that if he had misbehaved then yes, tell him off, it wasn't that he had told my boy off, it was the manner in which he had done so.....it's like talking to a brick wall.....any other time i would probably have still called the school but in a reasonable manner.....not today.....bull and china shop come to mind!!sorry....have waffled and side-tracked.....but i do feel better for getting all this off my chest tho.....
going up to see sades, paul and jak tomorrow.....YIPPEE!!!
