I'm a Grandma: My Son & His Girlfriend Are Pregnant!
I am going to be a grandma! Yes, you read that right. In March of this year my 19-year-old son told me that he and his girlfriend were pregnant.
“They're too young, not married, not ready, and what on earth will people think???” Strong emotions overwhelmed me, but somehow, I walked around the counter and pulled him into a hug.
So here we are, 9 months into this journey with my son and his girlfriend, and we will meet my grandson this week!!!
On today’s episode, I share about our unexpected journey (x2), the moment he broke the news, and how I’m walking through this now as a parent.
Here are some of the highlights:
- [00:15] Pregnancy announcement. My son and his girlfriend are pregnant.
- [01:05] How Tyler broke the news. Happened during an argument, how I felt at first, pulling him into a hug, what I told him.
- [02:19] The first person his girlfriend told. Friend offered to pay for her abortion, all the voices she wrestled with, what his girlfriend actually wanted to hear.
- [03:19] My feelings as his mom. Fear and concern, but also hope.
- [03:33] Advice for the child considering telling a parent. Write a few notes, pick a good time to tell them, some ways to think about their response.
- [04:30] Welcome. We're not meant to do life alone. Subscribe & stay in touch.
That was on my heart to share this week. See you next time!
