Great

At 5.30 yesterday morning I became a Great Aunt.
My fifteen year old niece gave birth to a boy.
I’d really love to say that I’m pleased for her, but I’d be lying.
In all honesty, I’m embarrassed.
My mother is a Great Grandmother at 57 and my sister a Grandparent at 38.
As my Nan would say, ‘Common’.
Thank fuck it’s a boy, or in a decade or so I’d be seeing one of those horrendous ‘Five generations of the same family’ photos in the local paper.

Ok. There must be something positive that can come from this. No, there could be something positive. I wonder how your niece is feeling about it all. Does she feel scared, lonely? Or is she all Vicky Pollard about it?
There's a lad involved somewhere and presumably the old Bill could get involved, given the niece's age. Dunno what to say really, but there are two kids here, and one of them still needs love and guidance from those around her, I'm guessing she isn't getting either.

Yes, there is a sex off... Sorry, Father in the picture.

My sister got preganant at 14 and my Mother basically fragged her for an abortion.
So when B got pregnant my sister had an opportunity to say, 'Fuck You' to our Mother.
Nice, B has a baby so my sister can spite our Mother.
Also, my sister cannot have kids anymore, so getting her kids to bang them out for her seems to be the plan.

*Dragged not fragged!

this is exactly the sort of post I shouldn't contribute to - for obvious reasons.

Hmmm...difficult to spot the positives here. And the sad thing is that Schnee (in my view) is right that there are two kids here and a wee one who need lots of love and support. I would truly love to be in a position to say that they and the baby will get it and that whilst its a young age to have a family, there is a good foundation. Sorry.
