I overheard my boss say she had to help her son buy an engagement ring for the girl who is having his child. When I asked her "He decided to marry her?" She said "I'm very old fashioned. I believe a baby should have a mommy and a daddy." I also heard her tell her friend that she didn't want her son working in Little Rock (45 min away) because he needed to be close in case the baby needed him. I've kind of gotten the impression that she's nagged him into being engaged to this woman and will probably nag him into marriage.
I'm thinking I won't be surprised if this marriage doesn't last. Oh did I forget to mention that there's another who thinks she's pregnant with his child?
Her son is veeeerrrry good looking. In the pic in her office he looks like George Michael. I'm thinking he's not quite as ready as momma is for him to settle down. Opinions?
I can understand your boss's desire to legitimize his relationship and child, but that is up to him to decide to do, not her. Just b/c she buys a ring and pushes him into it, is not going to make him want to do it. And if he does, I agree, it won't last long, b/c he will be getting b/c of the pressure, not b/c he loves the baby's mom, and wants to have a life together with them.
He sounds like a cad, and needs to grow up. I suppose he will soon enough, when he's paying child support for 2 kids.
This is where parents need to butt out. Her son knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to sleep wtih his girlfriend. Both of them were irresponsible and the Mom should just stay out of it. Granted, now there will be her grandchild but her kid also made a very grown up decision by not using protection.
You know, you make your bed, you lay in it.
I think that the Mom is nuts to help her son by an engagement ring and I am sure it won't be the only money spent. To be fair, the kid is probably a total Mommas boy and needs confirmation on every aspect of his life from his Mother which is sad.
If one of my kids either got someone knocked up or got themselves that way. As a parent, I've already done everything I can do to warn them of the consequences, make sure they are being safe, etc... what they do when they turn into adults is on them but you can be sure, I'll be the last one helping purchase an engagement ring because I feel it's the right thing to do.
I'm wondering how old he is? The baby will have a mommy and a daddy married or not, it's probably more about appearances and what others will think if she has a son with child and didn't marry the momma.
The marriage is gonna have three ppl, She might get a rude awakening, when his wife to be can't be dominated as easily as her son.

For some, the stigma of divorce does not sting like the stigma of an illegitimate grandchild.

I think you are probably right.
