Separating teenagers

i see nothing wrong with what the mother wants..your son may love the girl and may also be an excellent parent,but he also has to be responsible,and that means having a job and supporting his girlfriend and her baby.

if your son and his girlfriend don't like it,then they can mone out and live on their own,but that would mean your son has to get a good job and support them!

It sounds like your Son's future Mother In-law doesn't want to financially support him.  Maybe she can't afford to,  babies are expensive enough.    It's too bad he doesn't want to get a job 'there'..  or does he?  You're right, they should stay together mainly for the sake of the child now.  One year back home with you is a long time.. a lot of things can happen in a year.  Can you bring them both back to your area, and set up an Apartment for them near you?  Since they aren't Married yet, Alana can get a lot of Government Assistance as far as Rent and Food.. etc.  In the meantime your Son could look for a job over the Summer to contribute, atleast learn how to financially take care of himself..and still be involved with his Future Wife and Child...  possibly even (Children) at this rate... and then they will be back near you again,  in peace.

I think u both are right..They are very young and know nothing of Love yet..As a older and hopefuly mature women U should already know this. The "Kids" Think they are in Love..Love is not for the young as we have been told for ever becouse they know nothing about it. The kids follow their feelings..Love is more than just a feeling... I think the "kids" should be split up for that year. Have they graduated from high school yet? If not then they need to finish school then go on to a career..If at the end of that year they still think they are in Love then they should be able to be with each other..But first they need to find out who they are before they find out who each other is..Good Luck...Peace

Wow... maybe people didn't read your post correctly. You said they are both 18. Just because they are young doesn't mean that they are unable to read their "feelings" and understand it's something more. The "kids" (ugh!!!!!) are able to know what they want, and they are old enough to make their own mistakes. It's time that they do, that's how you learn. It gets me  little upset that her mom wants him to go off and get a job and be a "man" and support her and the baby. First of all, why does he have to move out to get a job? Second of all, why is your son getting all the anger and resentment that the baby's real father should be getting? I know they are together, but it's also the mom's responsibility (the baby's mom) to support the baby. I think your son is great, trying to stay by her side and raise her baby as his own. Not many men would do that and I think it's honorable. Half of my mind says it's not HIS responsibility to support the baby.... her mom wanted them out there, so she needs to suck it up and help out like a mom should o.

Sorry it was so long... lady Bird ticked me off and I had intentions on responding anyways!! haha

I hope everything goes well for your son and his girlfriend (and the baby)!!!
