Ingenius Turbocharged January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 I wish to present a hypothetical question. What if your son, impregnate his girlfriend, and both are still at a schooling age ( say, Uni level) ? Suppose both of them don't have career, little experience in relationship to make a lifetime commitment and to form a family. What are the options and what will you do as a parent ? Please discuss and share your wisdom, thanks. ↡ Advertisement 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Wah. Such a deep question in the afternoon. Assuming they are in early 20s (since you said uni level), I will treat them like adults. Tell them what are the consequences of their choices but let them decide what they wanna do (abort or keep). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 depends uni which level, since they are about the graduate and start working and they are already in the relationship long enough, i assume the parents should have known the couple well enough (like makan, went to several family gathering sessions, stay overnight at each other home?), etc. then i would encourage them to get married if both are matured enough to know what they want for each other. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Anyway always look on the bright side. Lucky its "your son" and not "your daughter" 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuPerBoRed Twincharged January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 I think you missed out a crucial information.. are the two kids serious about each other? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingenius Turbocharged January 16, 2017 Author Share January 16, 2017 I think this can happen to any young couple in a relationship especially given their delicate puberty age. Recently it happened to a close relative of mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them what are the consequences of their choices but let them decide what they wanna do (abort or keep). im agst abortion due to the detrimental effect to the female's body... next time when really want to have kids.. will be alot tougher I think this can happen to any young couple in a relationship especially given their delicate puberty age. Recently it happened to a close relative of mine. joke ah.. ease tension abit... close relative = wife? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingenius Turbocharged January 16, 2017 Author Share January 16, 2017 I think you missed out a crucial information.. are the two kids serious about each other?According to them, yes. But since this is both their first serious relationship which is about less than one year long, we don't think they are sure about choosing the right life long partner yet.

SuPerBoRed Twincharged January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 btw.. uni = old enough la... i have friend who shot gun when i was in army... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 And on even the brighter side since its "your son" can always just run away. Its not like this is the first time this has happened and certainly won't be the last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be best if both sets of parents sit down and talk it tru... so no long term unhappiness etc should the marriage proceed 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 Btw there is no such thing as choosing the right life long partner we all think we can choose the right life long partner but there is no correct way. It all just luck. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
