My son who is 20 yrs old and already has a child told me last month that he is expecting a new baby but with the "new" girlfriend. Oh geez really! As his mom I wanted to scream, yell, hit, say all kinds of bad words but he lives 2 states away so what good is it going to do. I took a deep breath told him I loved him and would be there for him. I did say this was going to make life even harder and I hope he was ready for it. In my best mom voice. But wow I just wanted to say WTF you doing!!! UGH UGH UGH! He hates school and decided that he doesn't want to go to college, BIG MISTAKE but he doesn't listen to reasoning that all his family has given him. He could even go to school for FREE because he is Native American but he wants to do this his way. Dealing with this age is like fingernails on the chalkboard CRINGE CRINGE! I could go on and on but it would take for days. LOVE my son but someone needs to hit him upside the head to unleash the common sense that has been trapped.
This week he called to let me know that they think they lost the baby but still want to get married. Now, don't get me wrong I would have embraced this baby with open arms but the mom in me felt a sign of relieve and now he might have a fighting chance on getting his life together before bringing in the world another child. I told him that I have experienced this a couple times in my life (in my 20's) and I felt I wasn't ready yet so I was given another chance to get it right! I made sure he was treating his GF with respect and keeping care of her while she was dealing with this and he assured me he was.
Being a mom to an adult is sooo HARD!
