I am sos orry that your feelings are hurt. I'm not completely understanding the situation but I do hope that your daughter will learn to be more appreciative.

Good luck!

I would be hurt, too! I really think that a lot of people today who have their children before the wedding look ridiculous having these big church weddings with all the frills. I think they should go to the courthouse and get married and then if they want a reception, pay for it themselves. You're doing enough by paying tuition.

I know this sounds harsh, but my 2 sisters had church weddings (no children ahead of time) that they paid for themselves. They knew that my parents really couldn't afford it and didn't mind it a bit.

Linda, I have to agree with the above advice. I can't believe she is expecting this of you. I can't remember exactly when you said they were getting married, but once married the money spring should stop flowing. If she's adult enough to have a baby and then get married..... it's time she paid her own bills.

I can't blame you for being hurt.....that would just break my heart! Was she planning on coming back after a week? Then what? Who will be taking care of the baby while she's in school? Who will be paying for the babysitter? I know you're working. I think you and Gary need to sit down with her and find out just exactly what her plans are. Let her Dad carry the load, you've carried it long enough.

You know I'm here if you need me. You have my email and my phone number so contact me anytime. I hate that your feelings are hurt!

I am sorry for your hurt feelings. It is never easy when the children we love hurt us. I am hoping that the two of you can sit down and have an open discussion about everything and work it all out.

The best to you both.

Hey Linda, how are things going? I hope you were able to sit down and talk it out.
