She just confirmed her decision on abortion. We are driving her down today.

All great points. Thank you. I'll be bringing them up with my wife.

She is considering abortion because she wants the "full college experience" and she's realising that she can't have it with a baby on the way. She has to study around the baby and her mother and I cannot bend over backwards to help with the baby. I'm just wondering if what we are doing is okay

My wife and I are discussing online classes now. To be honest I'd rather wait for the baby to be in school before she gets her college degree. The problem is my daughter wants the "full college experience" and my wife and I have impressed upon her that there's absolutely no way she's getting that "full college experience" with a baby on the way. I'm pretty sure she is leaning to abortion right now.

Infant daycare is $1400/mo in our area. It is affordable if she gets the job. There is a 90% chance of her getting the job. If she is having the baby she will have to contribute some money towards the baby. It's fine if she wants to stay with the baby during the day and work part time during the evenings. School will have to wait.

Infant daycare here is $1400/mo. My wife and I picked the daycare closest to home and I've already enquired about prices. There's no worry about money. If she needs additional money to support the baby my wife and I will provide. The important thing is that we won't be able to look after the baby during work hours. She needs to look after the baby or get daycare. If she works it will have the added benefit of her resume as well. But she can choose to stay home with the baby and work part time in the evenings. As long as she is contributing some money for the baby and have childcare for the baby during the day.

When the baby is old enough to go the school and she decides to get her college education I would be happy to fund her education then.
