As you will know my 17 year old daughter is pregnant. Her boyfriend got laid off las week from his job, he could of stayed and got paid until the end of the month but he decided just to walk out. He not cant afford his car insurance so has not got a car. This morning my daughter asked me if my her dad could pick up her boyfriend tonight. At the moment her dad leaves at 6.30am he is a builder, builds all day and as we are building our extension comes home at 5 and keeps digging till 9pm then we check on our horse... so a long day. I asked if maybe his mum or dad could bring him, no she said they have no money for extra petrol they wont...can he get the bus I asked no he has no moneyshe said. His family are gamblers and spend money in the bookies they are drinkers too. My daughter is working 12 hours today so she said its ok I will get 2 buses to go and see him. I feel awful about this...So I have suggest this...If he walks to her work which is about a one and half to two hour walk (I do this with the dog everday). We will pick them both up when she finishes work as it is on the way back from the horse anyway. Her boyfriend is at home all day in bed but he would rather see her work 12 hours pregnant and then get 2 buses rather than walk to meet her. Am I being to harsh... I just feel he should be treating her with more care and respect. We do not mind sharing the lift between his family and ourselves we know they need to keep seeing eachother now more than ever. It is not fair though to expect my husband to do it all, what about our petrol money...comes down to this feeling of supporting another family because they wont support or help there son. We are cross too that he didnt stay at work for as long as he could. Also my daughter deserves to be treated better than this he should be walking over hot coals to get to see her. She needs to see him and his family for what they are.
