Baby’s mother reappears after years – now wants to cut all contact with grandparents

Sometimes, parents cannot be there for their children, and childcare falls on the shoulders of others. But this story is about how one mother came back, but the circumstances were not the best…

A young teenage boy finds out he is going to become a father at the age of 16 years old. The pregnant girl decides to keep the baby at her parents’ encouragement, and the boy’s parents tell him that he must take responsibility for his actions and see this through.

The teenagers both make the decision to keep the pregnancy at the grandparents‘ encouragement.

However, once the mother turned 18 years old, she decided she did not want to be a parent and left her child with the father. The teenage father had lost his own dad recently and felt like he was drowning in childcare responsibilities as he grieved his own loss.

However, the baby’s grandparents from the maternal sidestepped in to help financially and emotionally. They encouraged the young father to pursue trade school as they helped with childcare.

In the next few years, the mother makes a reappearance. She has had therapy and a new perspective on life and wishes to reconcile with her daughter. But now that she is back she does not like that her parents are so involved in her child’s life and questions why they have such a big role in it. She thinks of her parents as ‘religious extremists’ and does not want her child to be under their influence.

The father offers to supervise her visits with her grandparents, but even that is not acceptable to the mom, who believes that her parents will influence her daughter with their views.

The father was surprised to hear this because apart from taking their daughter to church, her grandparents had never done anything he would consider extremist. He mentioned that their daughter is incredibly close to her maternal grandparents and often requests to be with them when she feels upset because of the close bond they share.

And since the mother wants to reconcile and be a part of her daughter’s life, he does not want to cause issues with her either. The father was plainly wondering whether he was wrong not to give in and keep his daughter from her grandparents.

A lot of people said that this was an unwarranted request. The grandparents had been in the little girl’s life forever and were trusted by her, to cut them out suddenly would be painful.
