A 32-year-old woman has taken to social media to happily announce that she’s going to be a grandmother. She’s thrilled.
The British mother of one, identified as Shannon, revealed via her TikTok page earlier this month that her 16-year-old daughter, Molly, is pregnant and set to welcome a baby boy in early 2023.
Shannon, in a now-trending video that has caused a massive stir on Twitter, is seen joyfully dancing around with her pregnant teenage daughter.
Sharing the video that showed Molly with a visible baby bump, Shannon revealed she also had her when she was 16.
“You’re a mom to a 16-year-old and now she’s carrying your first grandchild. She’s my double. 10 weeks to go!! I got her fully! I had her at 16 with no support & I swear on my life I’ll never ever let them down! I got you fully.” The proud grandmother-to-be wrote.
The 32-year-old claimed in a subsequent video that she is frequently told that she is too young to become a grandmother, but that she is prepared for the new responsibility.
“Everyone says that to me — ‘you’re too young to be a nan!”, she said.
She further revealed that she’s financially supporting her daughter as she prepares for the arrival of her baby.
In her words:
“She [Molly] is still my baby, as much as she is having a baby herself now. [I have] bought her everything for the baby, because she hasn’t had her own income or anything like that, so we have all provided. That’s all I can do, is just to support and be there for her, which I have.”
