To quote Pa Grape: Why even bring it up?
ROFL so true!
I have a 21 month old great grandson and he was born out of wedlock and there is no way he could be loved anymore than he is.
His mother, my grand daughter, is an RN and his father has a super job and they are living together in a recently newly purchased house.
They are making plans for their wedding now.
I know all of these stories don’t have as happy ending as ours but, believe me, it isn’t the end of the world.
This little guy is a joy to behold.
Many years ago my grandma told me the first one takes however long it takes. The rest take nine months.
I remember my 17 year old self being shocked that MY grandma would say such a thing. Lol

Guess we gotta file this under: learn something new everyday.
I’ll be different. I have best wishes for the baby. If the girl is getting married great! If the girl isn’t getting married then I hope she gives the baby up for adoption and does what is right for the baby.
No big deal, she can get a nice apartment, food, utilities and practically every thing else paid for by the tax payers.
I thought it was an east coast thing. I’d never heard it till moving to the Cesspool of Maryland
Gee...I wish we had a like button...
Mea culpa!
As my grandmother would say, MYOB.
A few years back we had a relative of my Norwegian grandfather contact us with a family history he had done.
What surprised me was the number of weddings and baby baptisms (baby from the couple being married) that occurred simultaneously.
And this was the 1850’s.
My father said it was because the norwegians were fishermen who at sea for long periods of time working. I replied that it looks like they were pretty busy on the land too ;-)
So? According to the Democrats and main stream media pundits, it was no one’s business how many blow jobs Bill Clinton got while he occupied the White House, or how many girl[ to use the term very loosely] friends he had.
This really is not news.
t wouldn’t matter if he was a democrat.
In Iceland it’s traditional that you don’t marry until the woman proves she can give you children.
But simply as a political candidate, this is a non-issue. Odds are excellent (approaching a sure thing) that the ethical standards of Cassidy and his family are higher than his opponent's.
It sounds like the Cassidy family is handling this situation properly.
The right thing to do is keep the baby. Her parents love their daughter and are supporting her and the baby. The baby will be loved.
It would be a lot different if the parents of the young girl did not support her and the baby, but in this day and age, a baby is accepted by almost everyone.
If you give the baby up, he or she may feel that he/she wasn’t worthy of love. Maybe 30 (or more) years ago, it might have been the best option to give the baby away, especially if the girl did not have loving and supportive parents.
