27 year old Grandmother

[bongobaby]

Her 12 year old daughter has given birth last Sundayand the dad is 13. She fell pregnant in year 6 of primary school. They are totally in love and into each other and want to get married.
Why an earth would you want to be a grandmother at 27 with a daughter of 12 now a mother.

I got that’s what you meant *@liverpool1981*. I think your attitude, normalising a 12 year old child having sex at 11 and having a baby is terrifying and abnormal.

And yes, I know it’s a Zombie thread. It was me that first alerted that. I just couldn’t let such a disturbing comment like that go.

I am normalising nothing I am a health care worker. This does happen in the world. No one wants it to happen its not the way it should happen but it does happen

[quote prh47bridge]@rosiejaune - It is possible because this is an ancient thread. She gave birth in April 2014.[/quote]
LOL I am pretty sure that gestation periods were the same in 2014 as they are in 2020 so being a zombie thread doesn't make it more or less possible.

But I get your point that a student falling pregnant in Year 6 who gave birth in April in Year 7 could be 12 but not because it happened in 2014! It is a very sad story though so maybe I shouldn't make light, even on a zombie thread...

Plus you usually give great advice @prh47bridge

Incest happens. It doesn't mean it's acceptable.

It's absolute bollocks that 12 was "normal" childbearing age in Europe in medieval times. It happened with a few royals and noble-born women, yes, because their virginity was paramount and they were easily replaced if they died in childbirth. But the "western European marriage pattern" meant that the average age of first childbirth was early to mid 20s, not the teen years.

People keep asking whats the other option than support, I think supporting a 12 year old who is pregnant means getting them an abortion. Their bodies and minds are not capable yet.

How and why do people find these zombie threads and resurrect them?

Oh dear... I didn't I am very sorry about that.... I only joined 2 days ago and have only just started looking at threads... is that ok?

I didn't check date*

I know them. Both family's.

Just check the date before you post @Duemarch2021
It’s not the end of the world but people don’t want to waste their time and energy posting on old threads.

Just think that this thread is 6? Years old!
That's an 18 year old with a 6 year old child now. Probably going into year 3 in September. God I hope that child has a good upbringing...and maybe they will if they're all that mum and dad have ever had.

This child didn't find out she was pregnant until 4 weeks before her due date.

You joined MN 2 days ago and managed to run into a thread where you know the family?

Hi all,
Just to flag that that this is a zombie thread.

Reminds me of a pupil who asked if I was a Nana, when I said No she sympathised because her Mum was a Nana and she was only 32, I was much older!
