(10,756 posts)My daughter teaches special ed in elementary school. She sees kids all the time who are neglected by their parents and live with their grandparents. The kids are knocked around back and forth between parents and grandparents until they hardly know who they are. They often have emotional problems because of their "loving" biological parents. They are often neglected and feel unwanted and unloved. If she loved that baby so much, perhaps she should have started loving it by not using drugs during her pregnancy.
Nurse Jackie's new grandson will be loved and cherished and know it, unlike the undoubtedly miserable life he would have had with his mother.
Yes, I can feel some sympathy for the mother. She has serious issues and is likely an unhappy person, but this baby deserves better than she can give and the original grandmother knows it too since she testified against her daughter having this baby.
