A woman who became a grandmother in her 30s shared her feelings about it.

The mother of a teenage daughter can face many problems. And this is absolutely normal, because in adolescence, children experience a turning point in their lives. However, what if this tipping point becomes an unplanned pregnancy and the birth of a child? The answer to this question knows Kelly Healey, who became a grandmother in 30 years. Think of it! How this is possible, read further in the article.



In 2018, 30-year-old British Kelly Healy became the youngest grandmother of her country. When her 14-year-old stepdaughter Skye revealed she was pregnant, the woman took it for granted. "What's done is done," the teenage daughter's mother said. Although Kelly promised her daughter to support her at all costs, she admits that it is difficult for her. In addition to Skye, the heroine has four other children.



Local media took an interest in Kelly's story and interviewed her. In an interview with The Sun, she said: "I didn't see the point in yelling at my daughter and talking to her about protecting during intimacy." What happened cannot be changed. I knew I had to surround Skye with love and care. I continue to be a mother to her.”

The British woman admits that she sometimes acts as if she is still 20 years old. It was difficult for a woman to accept the idea that she would become a grandmother. Friends make fun of Kelly, and everyone around is sure that the baby is her son, not her grandson.



Daughter Kelly found out that she will become a mother, almost before childbirth. The girl has long been intimacy with guys, and she wanted a subcutaneous contraceptive implant. The doctors sent her to an ultrasound, and then everything became clear. Of course, at this time to lose the baby was simply impossible. Of course, there are many questions. Like how Kelly might not have noticed her stepdaughter was pregnant. How did the girl feel nothing?

Skye recalls, "I was stunned." I had a secret feeling that I might be pregnant, so I decided to see a doctor. The baby's dad is a friend of mine about my age. When I saw the baby’s heartbeat on the screen, my heart was filled with love.

Kelly Healey's mother became a great-grandmother at 48. She gave birth to a child at the age of 18. From all this history, there can be only one conclusion: Parents don’t explain basic things to their children. Modern teenagers mature very quickly. This means that you need to conduct educational conversations with them and explain how contraception works.



My colleague Ekaterina Voronina explained in detail how it is worth talking to teenage children: both girls and boys. I am sharing the educational material by reference.



There are many stories when teenagers become parents. Unfortunately, this only proves that parents are unable or unwilling to communicate important things to their children. As a result, women become grandmothers at a very young age. Of course, everyone decides for themselves whether this is normal. However, we tend to think that everything has its time.

There should be a trusting relationship between parents and children. This will save the family from problems that can simply break the life of any teenager. On this topic, I also recommend reading the article of my colleague Veronica Zhmurko. She wrote about what to do to a mother whose daughter is dating a grown man.



I sincerely hope you don't have to be in the situation that happened to Kelly Healey. Although, given that her grandson is almost 4 years old, I think she has long been used to her new role as a grandmother. I wonder what you think about that? Boldly share your opinion in the comments!
