New Re: At great peril, my 2.
However, I have 2 daughters myself and if either of them became pregnant at 17, there would not be any option for them either. Their pregnancies would be terminated. A teen pregnancy is a mistake. It is unwise to compound one pubescent mistake with a second, far more grievous mistake: allowing the pregnancy to go to term.

New heh...You're both making the same mistake...
in assuming that you'll have final control over the matter. It's not a decision neither of you truly get to make.

And that's from a guy who DOESN'T have daughters...but remembers what 17 year olds truly CAN do.

New Maybe. But I *CAN* cut the money off.
New True. No argument there...

It's important - in situations like this - to remember what you get to decide and what others get to decide.


It's also important to remember that, in this case, your decisions will create a framework for other's decisions. Be wary that you do not force someone into a decision that you do not want.


Decide first what your goals are by first determining what is (most) important to you. Then make decisions that further your goals. If preventing your daughter from 'ruining' her life is the most important thing - by all means, feel free to cut her off. If, however, you find that your relationship with her is the most important thing, then you might want to think twice - such an action may cause her to take a radical course of action - such as moving to a distant state for a job - not to mention a great amount of diswill generated between the two of you.

How you want to react is your decision.
