How old is this one? As I have probably already said, the girl I am sort of maybe seeing has a son - she was a teenager (fifteen, I think) when he was born and is a single mother and full time student now. It can be done but it is very hard. There are advantages to having children when you're young but I suspect they are usually outweighed by the financial and social disadvantages. I hope it works out for your grandchildren.

This one's 22 and living away from home (different city); the first one is 19 and still living at home. Both have reasonable jobs; the younger's relationship has broken up, but the older one I have no information (a man answered the phone when we called back).

This sort of situation can work out great. A friend of mine had her first kid when she was sixteen and she's now living a nice life with a man (not the father of her first kid, who is a douche) and her three kids. She's going to be a teacher.
Just saying, it might seem difficult now but given enough support everything will work out. And you seem supportive, so ...
Anyway, good luck.

Ups and downs;
Down - unemployment ran out last week.
Up - the online course starts in a week.
Down - I fell on the ice Friday.
Up - it happened on school property, workman's comp is taking care of it.
Down - after getting home too go to my local emergency room, I get a call from HR - I have to use the ER over near the school, 40 miles away.
Up - it's a tiny hospital, I'm in and out in about an hour and a half.
Down - x-rays show a possible compression fracture in the lower spine, which explains the excruciating pain whenever I bend.
Up - on the same day I was contacted by an online educational site that's looking for a mathematician to check their content. Contract through November for about $40,000.
Down - OK, can't think of one for that! Except I don't have the job yet, I still have to speak with their math director...
Up - me in a hospital gown...
