I had to make her go with me this weekend to pick out a diaper bag she would like and use...got a pretty bag and a smaller one (purse size) to match...Picked out a cute babybook for her also...she really showed no interest in it...She doesn't take care of herself food wise and all. My little drama queen is have issues with the father and he is definetly NO help...He hasn't bought anything yet for their baby....He is bi-polar and has (I believe) ADHD...He is so immature and unpredictable.....I am not pleased at all at his response and responsibility....Then again I really do not like the way my daughter is ignoring the fact that Kierra will be here sooner than she thinks and it is time to start getting her act together....Unfortuanetly my kids know I would never let them get into any trouble if possible and they know that I would never let my grandbaby want for anything....I have had to get everything so far for the baby...ugh I really do not want to take on the responsibility of a new baby...I just do not have the patience for my daughters drama again....I am not sure how to get it accross to her either....

Dear Deanna,
My prayers are with you, your daughter, and grandchild, and with the rest of the family. Sometimes it is not until after the birth that a new Mother realizes the love that goes along with birth.
Remember that you can handle this, regardless of how you feel now.
Love you,
Jacqueline

Deanna, you and your family will be in my prayers. Hope that she changers when the baby arrives and takes responsibility. Hugs Yvonne

My heart goes out to you and the unborn child. I lost my 3.5 month old baby this August and my heart cries when I read your messsage. I hope your daughter realizes that she's carrying a wonder inside her.

Oh, my, I hope you can get through to her, it is such a lovely time for a mother to be. I wish you all the best for her, the baby and you. You are a wonderfull person, and I am sure she and baby will want for nothing.
I wish only the best for you all, and may she realize that a little one will soon arrive, and need all the love she can give her.
Hugs and God bless you all
Marietta

oh dear hope you can help her to realize what it will be like to get and have a baby. thank God she has you!! hugs gerry

My heart goes out to you. I have a daughter who is bipolar. Please, blame the illness, not the person. They truely can't help many of their actions. As for your daughter, could she be suffering from depression? I'll be praying for all of you. "With God all things ARE possible". Hugs. ***

I think it's a case of a baby having a baby Deanna. You may have to assume this responsibility & I do pray for God to give you the grace to do what u have to do. Your daughter will mature in time I hope. My heart goes out to you. Lillian *

I wish I knew what to tell you! If she isn't ready to be a mother, than it will be up to family members to step in until she is. Sometimes,though, that precious little one hits the Mommy button on the way out, and Mommy will take over. I hope that your daughter starts taking this seriously, very soon!

Oh, Deanna, my heart aches for you. I know this will be a joyous and yet difficult time. Is Father on meds? Your daughter just may be lost and confused. I'm praying for all concerned to step up and put this new lift first. I'm not worried about the baby because I know your beautiful heart and no matter what, as you said, this is YOUR grandbaby. I know you trust our Lord for the outcome. Sometimes, our little(big) girls just need a straight talk and to know there will be NO nonsense.

new life not lift

I don't really know what to say, but I will lift you all up in prayer during this difficut time. I just prayed that she will grow up quickly and realize she has a new life to take care of and she will have to come in second now. In Christ, Judy *4U

Oh dear. I think it may be beneficial to you to talk to an expert. In one way you could be enabeling the irresponsible behaviour of making you take care of everything. However as a grandmother I understand how you feel. Maybe responsibility kicks in once the baby has arrived. What would they do if you would not be able to help? Hugs and prayers coming your way.

I don't know....I would like to give my daughter a swift kick in the pants though..hehehe....but as you say I will be a first time grandma and that baby will be mine no matter what she does...Personally I hope he stays out of the picture....I lost all respect for him even before the baby...
