I wrote about this in a blog on Bakersfield.com and it was printed in the paper last week on Saturday.
On February 21 of this year, my 14 year old daughter told me she was pregnant. I think in the next 5 days I felt every emotion imagineable to a human. Anger, guilt, frustration, disappointment, joy, sad, you name it, I felt it.
I remember a few years ago, I had a lady in my chair at work. She was the sister of my best friend's husband and all three of us...me, her and my best friend...were all pregnant with our first kids all together. Well, her daughter had just turned 17 and was pregnant...with TWINS. While I was cutting her hair, I said to her "So I hear you are going to be a grandma." without much enthusiasm. She said "Oh I know isn't it great!!!" I was thinking...how crazy do you have to be to think it is great for your teenager to be having one baby...much less two!!!???
Now I understand where she was...
