Oh BAnanas, we could be talking about the same family!
My son's ex has actually admitted to me that she deliberately got pregnant because she wanted a child with my son, to keep him. She was 19 and he 21. He did the right thing by her and the baby and bought a house, was a devoted father, and was devastated when, only two years later, she had an affair with an ex boyfriend, who she has subsequently had another child with and now married.
She admited how immature she was at the time, but unfortunately is, in my opinion, still immature with the way she is bringing up my GD., trying to 'buy' her love by giving her material things, rather than quality time. She often complains when she has her 'all weekend', if my son is unable to have her because of his work shift pattern. What she can't see is that my GD has no respect for her, always preferring to be with her father, who is the disciplinarian, but spends as much free time as he can with her doing fun things together that are age appropriate.
My GD's other Grandmother is not a good role model, having had four children by different fathers, non of whom are around now. It does worry me for the future!
