My 26 year old son has been dating a girl for about 5 months. Yesterday I was taken aback by the news that his madam is 7 weeks pregnant, about to give birth.
⠀
I am shocked, to say the least. They actually don't know each other very well, and it's already gotten this far. We had repeated conversations long before this incident, and I had warned them to take precautions.
⠀
I asked him, "How did this happen?" He shrugged his shoulders in response. My son is not yet firmly on his feet: he earns a small salary as a novice, lives with me in my two-room apartment. His girlfriend is from out of town, gets pennies, and rents a room on the outskirts of town. With what money are they going to raise a child, and at a time like this, where are they going to live?
⠀
Accordingly, most of the burden of care will fall on my shoulders. And I don't want to become a grandmother in my 45, listening to children's cries in my apartment. I strongly oppose it, and it's too early for her to have a child at the age of 20.
⠀
I tried to talk to my son today, and I told him I wasn't going to help, and that we should terminate the pregnancy before it's too late. He didn't even listen to me, he left and slammed the door.
⠀
My head is already spinning, I can't figure out how to influence my son.
