Would you let her marry the baby's father and move into your house with him? Would you do all the things Reba did for Cheyenne and Van? I'm just curious what people think about this and how they think they would handle the situation.
shareDepends on what kind of guy the father is. If he was a nice guy like Van, then sure why not and I don't see what the problem is if they want to get married if they really care for each other and its not just for the sake of the baby.
Of course, like someone else said, I wouldn't let them get away with so much that it affects my other kids.
"Would you let her marry the baby's father and move into your house with him?" Yes. "Would you do all the things Reba did for Cheyenne and Van?" No, I wouldn't even do all the things Reba did for Barbra Jean!
shareI think Van And Cheyennes situation was rather unique. He had nowhere to go first of all and I assumed they had been together for awhile and that Brock and Reba knew him. Also they were 17 almost 18 so I don't know how much they could prevent them from eloping. Van needed a place to stay so he could gragraduate hihis school; for Cheyenne to graduate she needed to be home and have her mother's help. I may MAY allow it if my child's situation was similar.

I think if I was Reba, I would have let them get married and stay there until the baby is born and they graduated. But after that, I would have told both of them to get jobs and start saving/planning on moving out soon. One of the biggest things I can't get over about this show is how incredibly easy Van & Cheyenne had it.

I think that if you let them live with you, they will never leave.
shareHopefully whenever I have children I will have raised them to have enough sense to use birth control (which I would provide for them) and to have sex when they're ready and older.
However.... I think there are so many factors that make this answer difficult. My short answer is, if the baby daddy is supportive (emotionally, financially) then he could stay with us but there would be boundaries. I would discourage my daughter from getting married, and would require both of them to work and/or go to school.
