I’m becoming a grandpa at 43. Mildly infuriating, 'cause there are way worse things in life.

    19 and 17 year olds being parents sounds terrible to me. Kids raising kids.

    It’s a decision but I’m predicting issues

      I was 19 when my first was born. Can say it wrecked my life for years, and I was not even legally allowed to see him for 16 years.

          An asshole in the child services department. My kid’s other parent was over heard talking about a dream involving me. It was taken as fact. I was told I was not allowed contact or face prison time. Because of this I sought to terminate my parental rights. The same person told my ex that I wanted nothing to do with my kid and they should never contact me.

          I met my kid the day after birth, stayed for 2 days before I had to get back home. We lived about 500 miles apart at the time. I had already moved 2000 miles to be closer to them after they left college.
