Grandmother rescues dogs from fire; forgets grandson.

Another everyday tale of life in modern Britain. The grandmother is 45. The unloved grandson is 11.

The husband has a job. This is not the bottom of the barrel.

Its not as bad as it sounds

the grandson doesnt normally stay there and she was probably out the house in less than a couple of minutes!

Poor woman.

People do odd things when under pressure and in a panic.

It's a sensationalist headline that will make things even worse for her.

I hope they have a GRP bonding strip between their roof materials.

On the brightside, luckily the grandson's kids weren't there.

Is that meant to be a snide comment on her being a young gran? (if not then apologies )
My Mum had me at 19 (Married at 18, celebrating 37yrs this month, just to clarify) so she could easily have been a Gran at 45 perfecttly respectably. It's just my sister and I were late starters re: babies!

I feel for this woman, she was in a panicked, sleepy state, she remembered all those that live there every day and did remember once outside, luckily he was fine but she still feels terrible, I would hate to think how she'd have coped if it wasn't a good outcome.

She is 45, the eldest daughter is 29, grandson is 11.

Early starters, I am assuming the eldest daughter is not 41 year old Craigs, otherwise she is a cradle snatcher!

Anyway, who knows how any of us would react when woken up with a fire, at least they are all safe!

i seriously fail to see what her age has to do with this other than suggesting a bad family as a result of her being young?

Intersingly my brother in laws mum had him when she was 15, he had his first child when he was 14 so she was a gran at 29. Funnily enough he is a manager of a large care home, she is management in the railways, her other son is a senior guy at the bank I work at and all of them are very respectable. He had his child young as a result of an accident that could happen to anyone of us when we were that age and shagging.

Still don't let that stop the judgement here or now what will follow on the family I mentioned above.

If the grandma had been in her 80's then it would have been a different type of story! My first thought was dotty old woman! With grandparents being used more and more everyday to give the parents a break from the kids...it seemed as though that was the direction it was heading. But no! At 45 she should have had her marbles, and thankfully the dog....just not the grandchild she was entrusted to look after!

Of course it's a snide comment. Unexpected early pregnancies happen at all levels of society, but in certain demographics it's a habit and that family seems to have the habit.

Pulling examples out of a hat of teenage mums that end up with well rounded kids doesnt change the sterotype built on the more likely reality - have your kids in your teens and it suggest problems....if those kids have kids in their teens it suggests bigger problems.
