The Senior teachers at my school will not attend any of the girls baby showers nor will they give the girls gifts for their babies. However, privately they will offer support to the mother of the pregnant daughter. They feel that society has made it easy for these teens. They feel that they really need to see that having a baby is easy, but bieng a mother is not. I feel that I have started to lean towards their way of thinking. Soror AKA2D'91, I think that I would offer assistance to the mother of your student. When I had my son, things were not so easy. Sometimes just getting pampers would be a serious chore. I remember staying up all night long with him when he had the cholic. It was not my mother who stayed up-it was me! Boy did I do some tall thinking! I have younger sisters with children. My older sisters and I have made everything so convenient for them. We kept their children. We bought for their children. We helped them to get cars. They are so irresponsible. I remember being at college with no money and no car. I used to pray everyday, "Lord, please put someone in my path that will pick up my child and take us home. My whole point is that it wasn't easy. I have one student that says that the baby she had is not her baby-it's her brother and that she just had it. In fact, she says that the baby is her mothers baby. She does nothing. She is free to do whatever she wants. I am not saying that they should not be able to enjoy life; however, they should be made to feel consequences of their choice.
Thanks again for all of your support!
