Eons ago, I knew a woman who lived in subsidized housing but was HAPPY how her teen daughter was knocked up. The grandmoo-to-be was angry how her responsible ex-husband and his second wife made it clear how a teen moo was no longer going to live with them. I do not blame the man and his wife for not wanting to deal with the girl's lack of responsibility. I told this woman how she consigned her daughter's life to be just like hers -- in a crime-infested housing project -- just because SHE thought it was neat to be a grandmama. Totally ignorant...
