A 22-year-old woman ended up pregnant with her boyfriend Brian two years ago. They decided to have their daughter named Ava even though their pregnancy was entirely unplanned, and they are still together parenting Ava as well as engaged to one another.
While it wasn't easy at all for her and Brian to step up as parents while trying to finish college, they did it.
"I know it’s not an ideal situation," she explained. "However I regard it as the best thing that has ever happened to me."
"I love my daughter more than anything else in this entire world. Also, Brian and I both just graduated college and we have jobs."
"We managed to graduate on time which I think is a pretty big accomplishment considering our situation. IDK maybe it’s not but I’m proud of us."
Back when she was still pregnant with Ava, her grandma cut contact with her, only once breaking her silence to plead with her to adopt out her daughter.
Her grandma is so traditional and didn't support her wanting to keep Ava, which caused a rift in their relationship.
This year, her grandma did come to Ava's birthday party and she even bought Ava a present for Christmas last December, so she thought her grandma was putting her super traditional ways behind her.
Sadly, she couldn't be more wrong, and she found out about her grandma's true feelings while her grandma was in the middle of planning their family reunion.
Her grandma mentioned to her that she was invited to the family reunion, but Ava and Brian are going to be excluded.
She stopped to question her grandma about why they could not come, as her cousins and her sister's kids were invited.
"She told me that she wasn’t going to allow me to “parade my excuse of a family around,” she explained.
"She said that is “shameful to the family that I had a baby out of wedlock.” She also told me that she didn’t even want to invite me because my being there is almost just as bad since everyone knows what a “disgrace” I am but my dad would’ve pitched a fit if she invited my sister and not me."
"I told her I wasn’t ashamed of Ava and she shouldn’t be either. She told me that my “mistake” means my family will be judged."
She was left seeing red after that conversation, and she was so upset that her grandma's words make her shake.
She informed her grandma that if she was so embarrassed by her and Ava, she no longer would let her grandma spend time with her daughter.
She will be staying home during the family reunion, and she will also be turning down invitations to any gatherings in the future that she knows her grandma will go to.
"I am furious. She doesn’t have to agree with my choices but to call my daughter a mistake...is crossing a huge line," she said.
"Besides if she truly feels this way what’s the harm in not seeing us. I don’t her to ever have the chance to call Ava these things in front of her. I want her to grow up knowing that she might be unplanned she is very loved."
Her grandma is livid with her no longer wanting to come to the reunion, and some of her other family members are upset with her too.
Many of her uncles and aunts are badgering her to not keep her daughter away from her grandma.
Luckily, her sister and dad have sided with her and are refusing to go to the reunion as well in light of grandma's feelings about her.
Do you agree with her not going to the reunion and keeping Ava away from her grandma?
