Looking for advice please. My 20 yr old son has just told me his gf that he moved in with in Sept is pregnant.
He has just started a course at college this Sept she finishes uni next June.
They live in a flat share atm. They are coming for Xmas and tbh I'm not happy at their news. I am worried about the pressure they are putting on themselves at such a young age. Neither of them work as in full time education and when her studies have finished her student finance will too.
They want to keep the baby and that is totally their decision to make. I just feel they don't really know what they are letting themselves in for.
I want to let them know how I feel without sounding like a horrible person. I obviously will support them as much as I can but at this point in their lives I can't see this pregnancy as something to be pleased about.
Just a bit of background. We have had quite a few years from 15 to 19 where son really went off the rails drugs etc. He has improved a lot in the last year but I think still has a lot of maturing to do. His gf is 22 we have only met her 3 times when she has been over for dinner she seems a nice girl but I'm just so concerned for them both and want them to realise my feelings are coming from love and concern.
Any advice on breaching the subject in a non confrontational way, I would be so grateful.
Thank you for reading this.
