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

    Try not to presume the worst, OP. I hope the in-laws provide parenting and meditation classes. Maybe a nanny?

      Her boyfriend’s mom is super excited and told them that, since she’s a rich, bored housewife with nothing to do, she can take care of the baby and they can do whatever they want.

        That’s…not really teaching them parenting. But maybe she will? Do you know them? Do they have decent values (other than teen pregnancy)? I would encourage getting to know them and being involved in your child’s and grandchild’s lives, and avoiding alienation. That means some give and take, from everyone. I wish you and everyone all the best.
