SIL Vent (BR)

DH called me this morning and the first thing he said was "I have some bad news and I know your going to be upset". His sister "might" be pregnant, I didn't ask for to many details because he was rite... I was upset. She is barely 17, still technically in high school (she stopped going a few months ago). Her boyfriend dropped out of high school and got his GED, 19, doesn't have have a car, and works part time the last I heard.

Now why am I upset? Honestly, for very selfish reasons. I'll get over it if she really is pregnant and certainly wont be jumping into TTC. I hate that she is so irresponsible, and hate her mom even more for trying to act like her friend and not her mother.

Vent over.

  • My sister had a kid at 18.  She was out of high school because she'd graduated a year early, so at least she had that going for her, but she's still a kid.  I understand being upset.  I went to the chaplain the day I found out about her pregnancy because I thought I was losing my mind.

  • I wouldn't let it really bother me until she took a pregnancy test? I'm not sure why she would alert everyone that she *may* be pregnant. Weird.

    Because she's 17 and that's what they do. 

    I agree that I wouldn't let it bother me.

  • I agree -- wait until she knows for sure.   I can see how this would be really frustrating, but maybe it's a good opportunity to try to be a positive influence in this girl's life.

  • I'm not going to bring it up to her, from what DH told me earlier she hasn't POS yet and I think he told me she was bleeding alot. Doctors have said she has a cyst which might explain the bleeding but other then that I'm beginning to think she thinks she pregnant simply because she had unprotected sex.

    And as much as I would love to be a positive influence in her life her mother has made it very clear that I am not welcome at their house. She wasn't a fan of how I wouldn't let her youngest son curse me out on a daily basis.
