Unplanned Pregnancy causing family upset! ?

there is no such thing as wrong time to have a baby only the right time. why is money involved in happiness of having a child? if thats the case take the money and situation out of the equation and you have a miracle!

since they had 4 kids already use the hand me downs from previous kids they hold memories and a frugal way to reuse gifts given to there other children. all the baby needs is love and care and the rest are wants a child will be happy with just love. i say if they are disowning your cousin so be it she has a lot more to be happy about like having another love one in her life.

if they can't see the god given gift at hand let them keep there stubbornness until they realize one day they should have been apart of her daughter or granddaughters life.

hope this helps.

I say do what you feel is right. Talk to Amy and be there for her. You did not say if Amy was married or with the babies father. You did not say if Amys parents are in the picture either. Many people are on government assistance right now. Is Amy a good person who takes care of her kids? Then if she is then she will treat the new baby well. If she is not, then I would side with your mother in law.

My pregnancy was unplanned, but I was lucky to have the people I needed to be there for me. Sometimes though it just takes time - your husband and mother-in-law may come round when the baby is born, or maybe they need to try and see things from Amy's point of view. Amy is the one that's decided to have this child, and it IS afterall her life. Family and friends can give their opinions on situations, but at the end of the day we are only in charge of how we live our own lives once we become adults. They need to accept that they might not agree with Amy's choices, but to be there for her anyway because that's what family is there for. Also, maybe Amy could prove to them that this news is for best?

I don't know how you go about concvincing them but it is wrong for them to take this out on this baby. This baby did not ask to be here. If I were you I would help out too or get a baby gift for the baby. This baby deserves love, not a cold shoulder from it's grandparents and uncle.

You can help her if you choose to and not ignore her. That is the right thing to do. So the mom and your hubby are basically going to ignore an innocent baby? That is plain wrong. You can love the person and not love all of their actions.

the same thing has happened with my family, my sister, had her first child at 16, now she has 4 and is on government aid and has a drug addiction. Do what is right, your mother inlaaw can not control who you are!

God doesn't make mistakes! They will see in the long run they are hurting no one but themselves... It will all work out for the best....

she needs support more than anything. let them ignore her if thats how they feel but if you want to support her and help her out then they shouldnt stop you.
