"Case #1 Growing up for Joy. The Son peeked into the kitchen as the father and mother finished their breakfast. Dad, as always, was chewing on a sandwich, mentally heading to his computer for work. "I"m getting married," the Son said cheerfully. "I hope you don"t mind." The remains of the cheese sandwich hung in the air, not reaching the father"s mouth. The computer seemed to have gone dark too. "How... how are you getting married?" the mother mumbled. "To Gale, you know her." "She"s pregnant," the father guessed. "But you"re only 19, you just started college." "You"re still a child," the mother sobbed. "I didn"t feel like a child with her," the Son instantly replied."

резко заявил отец. "How can you even think about getting married and starting a family at this age?"The Son took a deep breath and tried to explain his decision. "I know I"m young, but I love Gale, and we"ve talked about this. We"ve both considered our options and we are ready to take on the responsibilities of marriage and parenthood."
The mother sighed and looked worried. "But what about your education? You"ve just started college, and having a family will bring additional challenges and responsibilities. Are you prepared for that?"
The Son nodded earnestly. "I understand that having a family will require sacrifices and additional responsibilities. However, Gale and I have discussed this extensively and we believe we can manage both our education and our family. We"re committed to supporting each other and finding a balance between our studies and our new roles as parents."
The father looked skeptical but decided to ask a practical question. "Have you thought about the financial aspect? Starting a family can be expensive, and both you and Gale are still young and likely dependent on us for financial support."
The Son replied confidently, "Yes, we have taken the financial aspect into consideration. We have been saving money and planning for our future. We understand the importance of being financially independent and we are prepared to work and support our family."
The mother, still concerned, asked, "What about your own personal growth and self-discovery? Getting married and having children so early might limit your opportunities and experiences."
The Son smiled warmly. "I believe that personal growth and self-discovery are lifelong journeys, and having a family at a young age doesn"t mean I won"t be able to explore and pursue my passions. Gale and I are committed to supporting each other"s dreams and aspirations. We will work together to create a loving and supportive environment for our child while also encouraging each other to pursue our individual goals."
The father and mother exchanged glances, contemplating their son"s words. After a moment of silence, the father spoke gently, "We may not completely understand your decision, but we love you, and ultimately, we want you to be happy. If you are confident in your choice and feel prepared for the challenges ahead, we will support you."
The Son felt relieved and grateful for his parents" acceptance. He knew that the road ahead wouldn"t be easy, but with the love and support of his family, he believed he and Gale could build a strong and happy life together.
In this story, the Son"s decision to get married and start a family at a young age raises important questions and concerns about education, finances, personal growth, and responsibilities. While it may seem unconventional to some, it is essential to approach this topic with empathy and respect for the individual"s choices and circumstances. It is crucial to have open and honest conversations within families to understand and support each other"s decisions, even if they differ from our expectations.
