A great movie for how parents should react to their teen getting pregnant...
Just saw Juno last night. Incredible movie. It was pretty much like Gilmore Girls on steroids. I laughed so hard much of the time! In case you don't know, Juno is about a 16-yr girl who gets pregnant, then decides to give her baby up for adoption. It's a great journey all the way through, with some great dialogue and hilarious one-liners.
Anyway, what Julia and I were talking about last night is how Juno's parents reacted to her telling them she was pregnant. We were saying that the her parent's acted should be an example of how all parents should approach their child. It was honest, yet affirming, and extremely supportive. It's one of those moments where I know I would show at some parenting seminar regarding those types of things.
Go watch the movie if you haven't. It's a lot of fun to watch. One of my favorite lines when Juno's about to have her baby and she wants an epidural (I'm paraphrasing right now):
Juno: I want the spinal tap man!
Stepmom: No, honey, the doctor said he can't give it to you because you're not dilated enough yet.
Juno: I thought doctors were supposed to help people!
Stepmom: No, doctors are sadists who just want to see lesser people suffer.
