No, this poster simply believes that children must always come before nieces or anyone else. That is how normal parents feel.

Given the circumstances, an abortion would be something else I'd recommend.

Not when the niece isn't at fault for any of this. By letting him off the hook for messing up the car, the boy learns nothing. Well, he learns that he won't be held accountable for his mistakes. I agree with the others. Worst advice ever.

He is 19, it's a little late for an abortion.

Not probably. It would be.

You've gotten a lot of good advice here but you just continue to make excuses. Your sons problems are his problems created by himself.

You're husband knows how to parent, you don't. Listen to him or don't expect him to have anything to do with them. You want him to do something, then complain when he does something. Doing nothing in this case is doing something.

Very true. Repped for truth!

The very, very best thing for loser and gf (can you believe any self-respecting girl would put up with him?) to do is put baby up for adoption at this point.

I guess I answered my own question....his gf likely has no self-respect and does not realize she could do SO MUCH better than loser #2.

What kind of person does this? I smell rat.
I agree. Just someone playing with people.

Hmmn, let's reward a kid that blew up his cousin's car, flunked out of college, and got his girlfriend pregnant on purpose WITH A BRAND NEW CAR!!

I agree, this is what a enabler advice would be for another enabler.

Normal good parents will make sure their kid will do right by paying for damage they did to someone else's car. Your advice is enabling poor behavior.

You are clueless. Her son destroyed the nieces car. This is NOT putting one child in front of the other.

I think mom needs to grow up. She sounds like a teenager herself.
