I went through with both of my sons. I informed them that they were going to act like the grown ups they thought they were. They were 16 and 17. In the same conversation I told them they could hate me if they wanted, but they needed to remember it was their fault.
Not sure from this post about college plans/etc. My goal here would be to ensure my sons life isn't wrecked by this event. If there is support, I would definitely take it up until College is finished. This day and age, no college = no future.
I think the poster means that he/she that if her college aged son got a girl pregnant - they would pay his child support until the son graduates from college?
I know that the girl was a willing participant and not an innocent victim in this whole thing, but I still feel bad that she now has to live with this for the rest of her life. Meanwhile, DS has moved on completely. I just hope that both of them have learned a valuable lesson.

That is what I meant, though if the kid bailed on college my support would end.

Thanks for all the words of advice!
Well - I guess - I'm sorry to hear? not sure. . .I know if it was me, I would be very disappointed all around. The lost grand child. The stupid decisions. My son moving on without giving it another thought . . .

That was a close call for your son. I would not let him think he's "off the hook" now, he needs to learn from this ordeal to ensure there isn't another similar situation with the next flavor of the month.

I REALLY agree with this.
I'm not saying that your son is "that type" but I've heard of teen guys that have gotten numerous girls pregnant without giving a moment of thought and concern for the girl, the potential child or either family.

Great news. Take a deep breath and have him neutered.
