I'm curious as to what you would think about your 16year old daughter moving in with her boyfriend at 16 and having his baby a year later.
What do you think about it and how would you react.

I think that it would be hard to deal with. I know I don't want my children to choose that path! I did! It was so hard. I had all three of my children before I was 20. I think you have to just be in her life and there for her all the time! She is going to have a rough road ahead of her but, you can help her more than you think by just being there for her. Help her with the baby and make sure that they are both taken care of!

sometimes who don't like the road our children have taken. i was 14 when i had my son. (yes if i has known then what i know now.) But there is no sence in making it worse help her figure out a better future for her child. My son was 16 when he decided to get married. My daugghter-n-law come out pregnant right away. It was not that bad. They both graduated (the proudest day of my life). They are in college. My husband and i helped in the begging but they made it on their own afterwords. My son and daughter-n-law thank us all the time for being there for them. SOMETIMES YOUNG LOVE DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE NO INE GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO GROW. sorry for the long story hope it helps.

I just wanted to add that the pregnancy was an accident.

I would not be happy of my child's choices, I mean really who would be thrilled that was the path their dd took? Not saying that it is path that has doomed her, but she sure picked a difficult pathway to adulthood.
