If you were to be made a grandparent by your 15 yr old child, would you be happy or mad?

Update:

I thought I'd ask because my son is 15 and in a relationship. He lives with his mother 1600kms away. His girlfriend lives with him.

    I'd be freaked out! I have a 25 yr old daughter and a 17 yr old and that was always a big fear of mine. Thankfully, no grand kids yet... but I always told both since they were young, that if they were ever going to do anything sexual, that they need to come to me and get on birth control and I would not lecture them and we would talk about safety precautions.

    This is a common worry these days. I'd be mad, but not at the 15 yr old child; just at the situation. Mad ....... probably because I don't have control of what just happened. Either way, the child will need a lot of support and advice on what to do now. I wouldn't want my children OR grandchildren running to other kids who are probably angry at the world for advice. But yeah .... I'd be disappointed too. After the anger is gone.... be a happy grandparent. I love to hear the word "GRANDPA" from a child. It's music to my ears.

    I'm sure that once the baby came I would be very happy--who isn't happy with a grandbaby? But in the beginning I would be oh so disappointed. I don't know about mad, but definitely disappointed and saddened because having a child at 15 makes life so much more difficult and even today with all the assistance available, closes so many doors.

    i would be mad because they're not too young.. but they wasted the first part of their lives where they could be doing better things that are right for their age such as going to school applying for a job and finding that special someone. baby time is after all that (or possibly before you find the husband)

    id be happy that be child's able to reproduce and strong enough to have a baby at 15 (you can dye from giving birth to a child if you're under 16)

    Unhappy that my 15 yr old was screwing up their live by getting pregnant. I would love and accept the baby, but feel sadness at the loss of my 15 yr olds opportunities.

    Probably a little bit of both. You know that you once again will be raising a child.

    But still it is a baby so that would make me happy!

    I would also be disappointed in my child!

    both i guess. Since I would want my kid to still finish high school and possibly college, it would probably mean I would have to help raise the grandchild as well. So I would have mixed feelings. I'd be upset at first but I wouldn't throw my pregnant kid out the door.

    Damn, i would be appalled at first, and it would be weird, and i would be slightly ashamed to tell people that my 15 year old child had a baby. But yes, i would be happy for the new addition into my family, always.

    well like i told my daughter who is 11 ... don't be having no babies when you aren't able to care for them because i am not raising anyone else's baby at all. I've raised my babies and im done. Now if she could, at 15, take care of a baby ... which i know she couldn't because she wouldn't be able to get a job, then i wouldn't be mad BUT knowing that she couldn't take care of it ... id be PIST!
