Ask Amy

Amy suggested that the sister who was upset that her 21 year old unmarried sister was planning on putting up the child for adoption adopt the child herself. That isn't going to happen, based on what she wrote. "...she got herself into this mess. It doesn't seem fair that she just gets to put the child up for adoption and resume her life."  That can be taken as a moralist, judgemental anti-woman manifesto that if you have fun having sex, you should suffer afterwards.  I can also see that the older sister is jealous because she didn't get to walk away from her children. Either way you missed the point that the 21 year old was making the mature, responsible decision (all studies show that children in single mom families don't do as well as ones in two parent families) and the one writing is the one who doesn't get it.
