I think the new furnace will help the kids immensely
My son was only in the 10th grade when he got his girlfriend pregnant.
I swear that we did everything we could to try to keep this type of thing from happening. We talked to Jack about safe sex when he had a girlfriend. We encouraged him to wait until he was ready. When we knew that he was going to start having sex, we provided him with condoms and begged him to be safe. There is only so much you can do when you have a teenager. It’s not as if my husband and I can police him every hour of the day. They were having sex for 3 months and then Jack came home one day and told me that his girlfriend was pregnant. Her dad was furious and was threatening to kill our son and he kicked his daughter out of the house. We could not let the kids live on the street, so both of them lived with us. We did not let the two of them share a bedroom until after the baby was born. My son was really unhappy about that, but I told him that the rules are the rules. They could live on the street or they could live here happy, safe, warm, and fed. They got married shortly after the baby was born and my son applied for a job working in the construction industry. He found a job working as an apprentice for an HVAC repair business. The HVAC repair business owner thought Jack showed promise. I agreed that the HVAC business was a good place for Jack.
