But then again you should take care of your child, not your mother but if she's helping you, enjoy it! It sounds like she is trying to be the responsible adult. Honest, that's a good thing. Perhaps when you are a little more mature you will be able to recognize that your mother is trying to do the right thing in a difficult situation. * Regardless of the intent and the situation, a minor unmarried female has the same equal rights to a child as does an adult mother.
