As the World Turns - MESSAGE BOARDS

As far as Janet and Jack and uncle Ralph goes I'm wondering what happened to the real Jack Snyder. The real Jack Snyder before Janet would see exactly who and what kind of uncle ol uncle Ralph really is. When Janet said to Jack that he really isn't an uncle just somebody who helped out people in the neighborhood, it would have sent off alarm bells and whistles in Jack's brain. Heck even Henry and Craig knew what kind of person it is after only just meeting him and a few words. Even Rosanna has a suspecion about him. I don't know why Jack is condoning Janet bringing him into the mix with who gets to adopt the baby.

Between Janet and Emily, I think poor Liberty is going to have some sort of a breakdown if they don't back off. She needs to be around a sensible, calm person who does not have a personal stake in this, other than an interest in her welfare. I wonder if she will run off somewhere, maybe with Parker again? I also see Jack being badgered; I wonder if and when he will say "Enough."

I too was a teenage mum and have lived to regret it every day of my life so having a kid as a kid is not good either.
I have gone down both roads and neither are the correct answer ...........Janet is a jerk period!
she is why kids do not go to their mums for advice in this situation. she is a poster mum for bad mum.
I agree unprotected sex is a bad thing in this day and age with all the ways out there to protect aganist it.
that said this s/l is just silly for 2009.
I am sure there were better ways to get the whole teenage pg. epidemic across.
we all should agree dif. opionions make the world go round .
that said it is just a show .

I was hoping that something would happen and we would find out that Parker is the daddy after all. As far as Janet goes.....I'm glad I didn't have to tell my mom something like that. She would have flipped out. There's not much telling what she would have done.

The question never arose among the girls I knew in the small town where I grew up, because the boys knew our Dads would probably half-kill them, not to mention what brothers would do. Also, a couple of the boys in my class said their Dads had told them they could kiss college good-by if they ever got a girl in trouble. It would be marriage and get a job to support your family. Of course, this was a number of years ago.

My son's 6th grade had a class for the boys on the cost of raising a child, all the way through college. His comment was, "No way. I'd rather have a Harley." They also had a similar one for the girls. I don't know what the reaction was.

First of all I think we can agree to disagree on what our personal opinion of abortion is. For me I believe that it's murder. The point is, is that Liberty is only 17, and in most if not all states she is still a minor. It's not her body until she's 18. That's what my mom always told me when I wanted to do something or go somewhere that I couldn't go - I would always come back with but it's my life, and she would say not until I turn 18. Until then it was my parent's life and they had the right to tell me what I could and couldn't do.

I worked as a temp for an attorney who was representing a couple in an open adoption. It was heartbreaking to see the young people. The mother was under pressure from her parents to give up her baby, and the young father, whose permission was also required, was completely bewildered. The first thing the attorney did was recommend that each one consult an attorney separately, who would advise each one of them exactly what would be happening and counsel them appropriately. He then recommended several who specialized in working with young people, and the adopting couple offered to pay the fees. I was not there to see the final outcome, but I do think this was sensible advice. Maybe Liberty needs to do the same thing. Poor girl.

I have nothing against grandparents who raise their grandchildren. If that's the best situation for the child them I'm all for it.

But Liberty is already being forced to have a child she doesn't want/ so it should at least be her choice who gets to raise the baby. It's 100% cruel that Janet would even ask Liberty if she could raise her baby for her. Liberty doesn't want the baby!!!! She sure as hell doesn't want the child living in the same house as her.

I read somewhere that someone thought Janet was only doing it so she could keep a hold on Liberty and so she would never leave her. But I think it would be the opposite, I think it would totally push Liberty away. And I think its going to turn into Liberty thinking Janet is going to choose the baby over her. Janet can either keep her daughter in her life, or raise her grandchild, she can't have both.

Your body is your body!!!! Not your parents! You may screw things up with that body that will have profound effects on you and your parents but it is YOUR body. YOU will suffer the biggest consequense, no matter what your decision.

Janet is going to push Liberty into something drastic if she doesn't get a grip on herself. And Jack sittin' around drinking a beer nodding his head at all Janet's ideas!!!! Where is the jack that used to jump all over Carly when he disagreed?
