As with everything it is easy to be a “big shot” until you are standing firmly in the situation. Your daughter has NOT experienced the miracle of having a child. She also has no experience with couples who are childless. Too many young people have no clue what a blessing having a child is. They take it for granted that they get married and “poof” within the year, they have a child. Isn’t that the way it is supposed to be? And then what do I do with it? I can’t be stuck at home with it, I will be bored..and such.
Well there are some facts that your daughter needs to learn, and that is every baby is precious and one has to think long and hard before one decides to “dump” a child on a babysitter. When it is your child, your baby that you carried for 9 months in your belly and watched grow through the sonograms, it is NOT so easy to just have that kind of attitude. It just isn’t that simple, as all us parents and grandparents already know. One must never ever take a child for granted.
