Even then it's a bit late now to do anything but congratulate them and set limits you can live with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210295 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:07:17 +0000 Cookie 210295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Say what you just said to us - minus the negative parts. "This is our first grandchild and we will welcome him/her with open arms and already love him/her dearly." Then mean it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210291 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:02:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 210291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Congratulations!!!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210290 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:01:40 +0000 beginagain58 210290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the replys. I would never hold anything against the child and would love it dearly. It will be our first and we do want grandchildren just not under the circumstances at hand. I guess I need to re-phrase my question because I want to make sure I respond right even though I'm not happy about the timing and reason. So how would you guys respond... like what would you say when they tell you? Hope I'm making sense.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210289 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:56:21 +0000 Cookie 210289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This just happened to my best friend this week! I understand your disappointment and concern but it is not the child's fault and you need to be as open and as supportive as possible. I am sure your worries are based on legitimate reasons but nothing matters now except this new little soul who will soon be part of your life. Be loving and accepting and think as many positive thoughts as you can. You can not change the circumstances but you can control how you react to them. This could be the most joyous gift you ever recieve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210285 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:45:51 +0000 Lana 210285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I agree with everyone else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210272 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:02:07 +0000 Ana 210272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chewy hit it spot on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210268 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:55:15 +0000 biscuitsmom 210268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup...me too. For whatever resons you are not happy, it is not the child's fault and you dont ever want him/her to feel unloved or unwanted...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210265 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:53:34 +0000 Louise 210265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with chewy x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210263 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:52:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 210263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would swallow whatever hesitation you have about it and congratulate the couple. It's really not about how you feel- it's about how they feel. A child is a joyous thing, regardless of the circumstances of conception, and you wouldn't want that grandchild to think one day that you did not want him/her in your life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grandkids#post-210262 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:50:12 +0000 beginagain58 210262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can someone help me with this question asap.... How should I respond to the news of one of my married children having a baby even though I am not happy about it for reasons I cannot go into? Thanks! </p>
